Looking good mate.
Great start to the hobby.

What are your future plans if you have any?

Bigger tank, fish species etc..

[jack]

if i get a job and get around my dad some way i would get a few more tanks maybe same size or bigger but i dunno really on fish just good ones that are in my price range

Thanks for the compliment Jack

[jack]

Please people give us some feedback so i know what to improve on

Jack

[monobono]

this is just feedback, and IMO,

I would Change/add:

Add a black background.

Take out that ornament thing in the left corner, replace it with an identical plant similar to the one in the right corner.

Add more limestone and carefully plan it so there is space between the plants on each end (for some roaming/spawning etc), and have a nice limestone rock feature in the centre. Since the tank is deep, try and raise the limestone as far up as possible, you will love the end result.

take out all those isolated little rocks in the front.


But obviously thats just what I would do, the main thing needed is a background.

Jack, If your interested, come around and have a look at the tanks I have set up. I agree with all the above, but at the end of the day, its what looks good to you. Stick with what you like. You could also go to the shops around canningvale and see their setups. If your interested in coming around just pm me.

i liked the little feature on the left of screeen that u had BEFORE in the very first picture... the grey rock and the little plants... shoulda kept it IMO...
nice to see more rocks... however they look kinda cluttered together and to me just looks like a pile of rocks...
jacklovesmalawi have u been to aquotix on bannister rd??? they have a malawi tank behind the tanks section with a really nice rock feature made up of many smaller rocks... maybe u can get some ideas off that one...
cheers

[jack]

just for you temptazn i added the ornament back and they are not all cluttered there is many hiding places for them and was built up slowly to make sure of this also i have been to aquotix thats my lfs



mor pics

[temptazn]

hahaha so sweet of u jack!
it probably isnt cluttered in real life.. maybe just the 2Dness of photos makes it look that way
good to see the EYs looking happy and healthy
