    Default my 125 after a year

    Well I took my time on this tank. I always wanted a universal rock background tank i did a few changes here and there through out the year. but i like it how it looks right now i finally added some live plants last week and i think it makes the tank look so much better there all anubias. planning on adding a few more but heres a few pictures of the changes i made let me know what you guys think and also i have 7 discus all from Kenny a few dozen rummys a few dozen cardnials and a few german blue rams.

    Matt,
    The tank looks great and your fish are beautiful! You've done a great job there. I like the live plant look there best too.

    I was advised to only leave the plants in the bleach mixture for about 2 mins then put the plants in a seperate bucket with water and prime
