This setup I wanted to be an easy one to maintain, without demanding yet effective plants and I think I've succeeded.
I hope you like my tank and I look forward to your suggestions.

really nice, plenty of fish! they're also well matched the rock colour. artistic foresight or happy coincidence?

Thanks, I had this layout in my head for while with the fishs, rocks and everything .
I'm glad it turned out so well.

I will try to make a video , was also my desire to make one.

Hi guys ,
this is the final photo of this layout , taken in a bit of a rush during the day (you can see some reflections in the bottom ) because I had to quickly make room for another tank .So basically I removed only the equipment and took the photo.
