Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm excited to finally start this thread for my 280L tank. I've had it for ages, but things are now falling into place and I'm making progress. Here's my current setup:

Mangle wood, beach stones, and play sand for the base

Got all the plants ready to go in

Whoa, those plants look incredible.

The tank is now fully planted, and I'm excited to see the progress. I've aimed to create a two-part river scene, with the left side resembling an open river bed where most of the plants will grow taller, and the right side featuring a forest river bank with an assortment of ferns, moss, and botanicals.

Here's the full tank setup:

On the other side, I've created a 'forest riverbank' with lush greenery, featuring moss and botanicals:

One of my favorite areas in the tank is this little cave-like spot, just above the stone in the centre of the image.

February's Tank of the Month is going to be tanks 31 gallons and up... just saying.
