    i have already ordered new filter pipes that are glass so they will become virtually invisible...I should have them in by monday. I ordered them awhile ago and thie first set came in broken :( I called the company and they sent me brand new set...no questions asked!

    yes i have added a few pieces of equipment...First i added a beetle counter so i dont have to crawl under the tank to set the co2 bubble count...now i can see if it is right from the side of the tank and it is quite fashionable :)

    I also added a bunch of amano shrimp..

    finally i added the glass lilly pipes and clear tubing so the green filter pipes no longer ruin the aesthetics

    Amazing... I'd love to see what it looks like when it "ages". I also like the clear tubing and accessories. I found aquatic-eden.com, lots of good tips and great examples- I may have to research this some more!

    wow man thats beautiful, reminds me of the new zealand countryside, and very peaceful and calming at that, hopefully the "clear" tubing dosent get algae buildup on the inside...

    Cool looking tank, where did the livestock go when you modified it this last time?
