Looks good!

One question with the tank, did you take the plastic bit around the top off the tank off?

the tank i got was rimless, it came with a naff plastic lid which im not using, the clearseal range dont have plastic bits at the top, the larger ones have glass braces going allong the sides

This is an almost identical setup to my first planted tank (same tank, same arcpod, similar scape) but you've done a lot better with it! The DSM was a great idea, make sure you get lots of CO2 when you fill though for the HC. Nice scape. As for plants at the back how about blyxa, tenellus or standard hairgrass?

sorry its not the best quality, my blackberry doesnt seem to like taking photos lately.

You have make a winning tank here very well done, you made a great home for your betta bob Be saw to change the water and feed him goof food and he should start to build a buuble nest. What filter are you using?

 

[glenn]

that blyax rely sets the scape of and gives more depth, well done!
