Tank size 21 x 21 x 24
It's an all in one tank, meaning that it comes with LED lights, filter and pump (300 liter per hour).
Officially it is my 5 yr old son's tank but I cant resist to try to make it a little nice for myself to look at, otherwise it would be filled with angry birds, toy cars, plastic diamonds and more such.......:eek:....
I mplayed around with some stones I still have which wasn't working for me until I remembered that George Farmer once told me that there is no such thing as a to big stone (or something like that), that's when I took a bigger stone and dumped it in the tank.....with this as result

Now for some planting...as it will be a (almost, because I will use some excel) low tech I only want to use moss.

Made the right side a bit higher.
Also wasn't really happy with the gap between the left glass and stone, that's when I looked at some course sponge and started to cut small peaces of it, made some slides in it to be able to put some moss in those (like a hot dog out of sponge and moss) and squeezed those snugly in the gap.

Nice work Martin, your son is gonna love that, the valley effect achieved with the two rocks is very simple yet very high impact, once the mosses fill out you will have a beautiful ravine.
