Need some suggestions

[Jnthn932]

Looking at my 125 and it just doesn't look right! I can't figure out what it is but I'm just not happy with the current set up. Any ideas on how to make it look more complete?

Here's a few better pics of the current setup

Looking good. My only suggestions would be a few smaller stones and plants in the foreground. But other than that, I like it

It looks good.

Thanks! Theres too many gaps. I guess all I can do to fill the gaps is more plants!

Ya maybe some more plants and make it a little less symmetrical. But it really looks pretty good

Definitely move the wood across to the side a bit more. You want the focal point to be about 1/3 if the way across the tank.

Very interesting article. I'm gonna do something similar to the very first photo of that article. I think I've got everything I need, except a few plants, so I'm gonna rearrange and post to see if y'all like it better

When I set up my 125 I felt the same way. Once my fish got larger and bought larger fish. The tank looked great. As the fish grow gaps change and so does the looks of the tank. Give it some time.

Yeah, I started with smaller fish and they have grown. It's not so much the gaps that I'm worried about its where they are. I've got two great looking corners, random gaps, and then a random piece of driftwood. I'm gonna head to my LFS and pick up some plants.
