About the aquascape: this has cost me £0.00 as i made the tank myself using a tank that was delivered broken and they didnt want back :D. the hardscape i already had. amazoniaII i already had and the light will be from the sun

first of all i added the amazonia II

next i added the barriers for the path using thin clear plastic which is used for writing on for projectors. and removed most of the amazonia using dosing spoons, but leaving some in to hold the barrier in place.
