rookie.....

Looks pretty good to me. You need a background. I like the design on the front of the stand.

thanks. it might be alittle to late for a back ground now......

Someone had a thread on here for a "add on" background involving foam board. I think it was John aka fshfrk (sp?). The concept was to paint the foam board and then mount it to the back. The added bonuses are no tank relocation required and you can change the color easily if you don't like it.

i used a gift bag that i bought at the dollar store as a background on my 90 hex, and a 55 that i had. just cut along the folds, and voila!

thats would be it! thanks!

Not a problem, I sell them but once in a blue moon to a customer who wants instant looks and no fuss. I recommend live plants as much as possible but we all know that is nearly impossible to do with certain species.

Good Luck, I think those ones are like 4 or 5 bucks a pop retail.

sweet..you have any real hairgrass available? i wanna try just 2 stalks in my tank to try it out..

[WhiteDevil]

Myself, no, I dont touch that stuff Ive never had any luck with it at all. I havnt tried it in my high tech tank so I might give it a try but if it does grow I know it will grow wild and fast like everything else does.

I planted it in May, I put 1 single C. Spiralis in there, I rescaped last week and decided to move it, that 1 is now 14 and they are a good 18" tall.

[chrisRstelly]

then it sounds like im better off with fake...i dont want it growing wild..nice tank!

[WhiteDevil]

Actually live plants will do really good for your tank. fresh o2, algae pretty much never shows its ugly face. On this tank


All I do is change the water, its friggin clean for being a fish tank, those plants keep it in constant balance.

I got those in a trade. I may have a few extra if you want to buy or trade.

Clean tanks Jim. I think the 210g could use a new scape but if you like it, rock and roll.
