Great photo, love it! He looks to be giving you the stink eye and all!

Thank you all for the kind words.

Incredible how white and clean your wood is, while in the same time there are green dots on some leaves. You have very cool cleaning team, I guess

 

[Vinkenoog1977]

Again with the perfection and the beautiful photos! Awesome!

I like your collages. It's great idea to put pieces together!

Update :

A few pics with the Orange Neocaridinas :

And the tank w/ equipement (lily pipes, mini CO2 reactor and small intern filter on the right, for more flow) :

From now on i'll tend to work more on the foreground and just trim in the middle/background.

Fantastic Alex!
How is your wood so white?!?!?

 

[alex08]

Thanks, Iain.
It could be from the low tech lighting, just 7 hours a day. Still, a few branches seem to get yellowish.

Let me show you guys another set of pics, this time with cool back lighting :

Still going for that "Nature style" type of setup.
From now on, my mind is set on growing back the Eleocharis in front. E. parvula had it's ups and downs due to the high temperature (27-29 degrees C) and being shadowed by the plants in middleground area.

The picture in warm light reminds me about autumn. The cool light one looks like better detailed, I dunno why.
