I added some plants and wood.

Thanks, I put a lot of time and effort into this tank. I added some plants and another piece of suspended wood.

I'll post it up when I start the build, I am still in the design/ engineer ....pondering phase. I have a rough concept of what I want, but the devil is in the details.

Thanks, I'm am still working on it. It is my main hobby at the moment.
