    Can't wait to see this tank in about 3 months.

    Think it going to look killer.

    Nice Ryno

    Fantastic tank dude, Love the very simple scape too, will be fantastic once plants grow out a bit and you have a huge school of small fish moving from one end to the other.

    well because of the size of the tank and my awesome BlackBerry camera you wont really see progress. but bushes are much more dense because of trimming and replanting and the Hairgrass carpet is also starting to fill in. will take pics in a month or 2 with a decent camera

    WOW @Ryno The tank is looking great. the tank I am planning is not that big, but hope I can get a nice scape like that going. Just saving up for it still.

    I will bring you a nice camera so you can take a pic of your stupid tank, no 1 actually likes it, they just say so, to make you feel special.:puke:

    Ok, i`ve seen this tank with my very own eyes, and I must say...its a real piece of work.....except for Dorries scaped tank, this is 1 of the best looking tanks I have seen this big....ever!
