70 litre tidy

well, my 70 litre tank had been disturbing me for the last couple of months. as usual the occupants of the tank had done some of their own furniture moving and refitting and this had resulted in the general ground level sloping from the front down to the back. which i didn't like as it made the tank look less deep, thats deep as in the z axis.


so last night i had a bit of a rearrange. i removed some of the dead/dying plants at the back. i transplanted some of the plants back from the 20 litre tank to add extra cover and to disguise the filter box. and finally i have tried to make a terrace using the pebbles and slate, along with the drift wood and have packed it in at the back with more gravel.

the final result i think is much nicer looking and still has hidey holes for the fish. i also prefer having a clearer area at the front where i can drop the big catfish wafers and observe mister plec when he eats.

Looks much better.

Last night - weird! Was talking to the lad at the chippy and he's well into fish tanks and has a 700l tank - over 5 foot long! Blimey!
