is there a reason why your tubes are around the front?

i would suggest you do 2 things to your tank

1. put a black tape on it's borders. it'll make the tank look nice, as if photo frame
2. put black background

my thoughts la. that's what i did with my tank and i loved the effect.

ok. that one preferential la.

cos for me, i don't like to see tubings in front or behind.

black background to make the tank look nicer, the color contrast of black background and the fish + deco (aquascape) will make a difference.

did you visit Pet World Malaysia 2008? MY-MAC organized aqua-scaping competition.

hehe. people at work.

i don't get what you mean.

try my-mac la. they have their photographers there.

i'm sure they have pics.

me ah? i just cover the entire event, i did get a few shots on some of the nicer to shoot tanks.

i find the Genoah tanks are rather small. they look nice but they're less forgiving.

try getting something wider if possible, more surface area and also nicer to look at.

i've tried small tanks like that, even the smallest HOB filter i can find also make the water look like some whirlpool. end up have to use some plastic tree to disperse the waterfall so that the tank doesn't become a 24/7 fish threadmill.

some more using guppies, you know la how guppies fare on moving water.

actually keep shrimps alone also very nice already.

i thought of going into planted tank before but luckily i didn't la. it would probably die in my hands.......or more like due to lack of my hands. hehe.

i already spent few K on fish hobby, thinking back - i could've have a 24-105L IS USM lens now if not for it.

yes. i know you and some of the things you bought.

i come this thread and saw you posting, it's like WTH this fella's loaded!

well planted tank was one of my consideration but after thinking about the soil / bed, fertilizer, lights, plants, CO2 blablabla............ i went marine. either way it's going to cost, but i went marine cos i wanna try out saltwater tank.

btw have you joined other forums like my-mac?

hehe. i use my existing tanks. planted tanks are really nice. i love looking at them.

anyway, my-mac organized planted-tank deco competition in the Pet World thing. you were there, weren't you?

here's what I caught in action at their tank display area.....

i already have a 3ft tank and 4ft tank that's badly taken care off! and i'm fixing it!

that's the thing about hob and small tank. i have small tanks and even using those smaller hobs, they still create super current.

can put some rock or plants or other deco to dampen the current.
