CCTV Has shut its doors. Off the air. 5.5 gal ADA rimless cube, fully planted, killifish breeder. coming soon to a forum near you.
It's called Sex Panther, by Odeon. Illegal in 9 countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
I like the overall feel very much. Many things I like about this one and a few not so crazy about. The tank has a very soothing feel due to the rock choices. The drift wood helps balance the tank and the angle placement mirrors the angle of the rock formation on the right, once again adding balance. I find the texture nice also. So many tanks with large round rocks seem to feel flat when that is the main hardscape. The driftwood and center plants help by by breaking the continum of roundness but still flow. I find the vertical placement of the rock in the center out of place along with the foreground plantings. For me they distract from the overall appeal of the tank. To me they seem to comabt the overall "soothing flow" I feel when I looking at this tank. It will be very interesting to see how this tank progresses overtime.
That weird rock in front was just stuck in as an afterthought and has already been relocated to a more suitable location
The H. verticellata in front is emersed growth form and is actually flowering right now. It will revert to submersed growth in time and should become substantially shorter and thicker, and should not look so out of place. That's the hope anyway.

So, ARLC meets the tropics once again eh? Actually, the tank appears to achieve the look of a lake bottom if Lake Tang had suddenly dropped in the middle of the Orinco basin. Not bad at all, great work you two.
