Did you take the little plastic corner bits off? Was that an easy process?

Yeah, just held on with a tiny blob of silicone.

All the fish are doing well as are the snails and shrimp. The plants are showing really good new growth, and as you can see, we are getting a lot more emergent growth now as the aquarium plants converge from submerged to emerged conditions.
Here is the latest video:

It is always nice to see people taking a creative approach on their aquarium equipment, and proof that great results can be achieved without the fancy stuff. Great tank!

Thanks, i do like the fancy stuff but i also like to give the tank/lights/stand a personal touch and incorporate it into a tank. I know that in recent times, its been the norm to go for completely clean lines with tank/stand and hood/lights to not distract from the scape, but i like to treat them as part of the aquascape as a whole.

Was just looking at my eco tank in the dark and thought id take a snap.
It probably needs a trim but i cant bring myself to do it.
What do you think, thin it out or leave it?

I'm thinking about adding some plants in hang on the back breeding boxes riparium style. Some big ferns. I think it would look amazing, but it feels like cheating

It's being flexible, creative and pragmatic... It should also look amazing

Well guys...i went for it and am really pleased with how it turned out. I think its added a really good depth to the tank and also more of a jungle feel. Wife loves it too which is great.
Let me know what you think. Also, currently making episode 6 for the tank for my youtube channel so look out for that: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHw
