newscape on my 180 with the black beaty sand...

[madehtsobi]

just picked up 200#'s of the black beauty yesterday morning and took me like 3 hours to clean it then scooped it all up and took out my white gravel and rescaped it...

any suggestions?

i would do driftwood with those cichla instead of rocks. its safer for them since they wont risk getting cut or scraped. it looks nice though but it just reminds me of a troph tank.

Looks good...I too, have a suggestion....you might consider raising the intake tube/strainer of that FX5....that close to the sand, your bound to find some in the filter when you go to clean it....

But the tank and sand look great....thanks for posting....

I kind of like it. Something about the rock formation is throwing me off but I cant put my finger on it....maybe the rocks are kind of small for that size of a tank to just be laying around independently...not sure....
