first pass on 180 litre setup

here is a picture of the first pass on setting up the 180 litre tank. using 5 pieces of bog wood and some rocks (of some decription) i have tried to break up the line at the back of the tank where the gravel meets the backdrop. 3 types of plant have been placed in the tank. i can't remember then names of them all but one is a kind of lilly pad (on the left, dark red), another is similar to what we have in the 70 litre tank and has the green leaves, placed in the foreground. and finally, i have tied java moss to four loactions on the bog wood. from what i gather this is quite a prolific grower so eventually it should cover a large area of the gravel, rocks and wood.... which should be nice and pretty... =). you may or may not be able to tell but i have started to slope the gravel from the front to the back to enhance the feeling of depth (z axis again ;-p ) and need to add a bit more when i am happy with the scenery.

finally, i'm not entirely happy with the big trunk like piece of wood on the right, it just doesn't fit well enough and i want to try and conceal the filter box more than it currently is. so, next water change, i plan on stealing a few more bits out of the 70 litre tank for which i have a new design in mind. =)
