Sounds really interesting Luke! Can't wait to see pics

 

[mr. luke]

haha, trust me to forget the important part

That's incredible Luke , I think this is the most original scape in the contest so far.
Also, the surface texture on the 2 main stones makes them look like giant boulders. I'd swear the tank was huge.

Cheers,
James

Looks great Luke - I love the wider aspect picos as they really throw your sense of scale out

Ive been out with the legendary swine flu for a while and this tank has had a terrible stringy algae outbreak due to this.....
Im trying to bring it back without tinkering to much but i cant be hugely hopefull

Oh man! I hope you're feeling better

 

[mr. luke]

Yeh it was over-rated if im honest....
I was banished to the upstairs of the house for a while and just felt a bit washed out so things went a bit pear shaped.
