Comments welcome as always. :D

Going back to the very first pic before it had grown in.... I like the way the sand was open to the left. Like the beach was on the left and forest on the right. Now it has grown in it looks lush, but you have lost your forest meet beach feel. So I would be brutal and remove lots of plants (maybe even all of them) from the sand.

Just an idea.

Don't get me wrong, this is looking great just as it is and would make a great candidate for your from this to this thread :thumbup: :clap:

I totaly agree matt, I have lost my beach lol. :( If only i had this with 1ft of tank more to place the sand into the layout. I have thought about this like you just mentioned. I just wish i started my layout just like it is now, But with the beach more prominent, and more into the 3 to 1 ratio i was going for 1 sand 3 forest. Hope that made semse lol.

That makes sense mate.
It is amazing how things get swallowed up as the tank grows in. Don't beat yourself up over it, it still looks good :)
