Re: New Tank, Need Advice !
No pics, but a friend of mine has one of the most gorgeous set ups I've seen yet.... Try to describe as best I can... But it's late and my descriptive skills are failing me.
1. She uses tan and black river rocks instead of gravel (the ones about the size of a quarter).
2. All natural looking long leafy plants. They look kind of like big fat blades of grass or tulip leaves.
3. All accessories are granite finished faux stone work.
4. For a bit of contrast to the tan/grey/black she added some other plants that looked similar to the green only ones, but with small vibrant blue flowers on the ends.
5. Background is a forest/river scene.
But of course, it all depends on what colours your fish are as well for the contrast.
