lol thanks eos! i thought so too! i thought the 2 colors were much better than 1 boring white one. lol and i put some mollys/platys in there that i got from a friend who was over crowded with fry and they love swimming near the lights and thru the lights. like in finding nemo. "its soooo pretty! i want to touch it!"

heres some more pics. i put the colums into the water section. had to remove the bottom cuz it was making it float. but i also planted it with ivy.

heres the whole thing so far

Thats looking really good! I like the aqueduct in the front! Have you given any thoughts to what taller leafy plants your going to use on the land area?

[darksolace66]

i just got 2 "tropical plants" from petco. ones very bromilad like, but its kinda bushy and just green. the other grows like a elephant ear, but looks like a baby rubber tree. i will get pictures up soon. i believe i can fit 1 more which i think will be more "tree" like. i dont no what theyre called but i've seen them at home depot. i'll post when i get it

This is really starting to come together! The addition of the aqueduct really makes the tank. Great build, can't wait to see it completed!
