    thanks all. the tank looks a bit different now. tannins are gone and I took most of the cypress out. replacing it with more manzanita. here it an updated pic but I'm soaking more wood so I'll have to update again. loved the tannin look but I wont use any additives to get that color back.

    I love the black background. Very clean contemporary look. Makes the fish and driftwood pop and the focus
    Jennie,

    Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten

    One of the most beautiful discus tanks I have ever seen Thanks for the update.

    You said you wanted to change the black background, but it looks great. Will you keep it as it is?

    Cool tank I would also like to have frogbit and more manzanita in my tank, I'm too lazy to move things around everyday to clean it. How often do you clean your tank?

    I do a 70% wc every 4 or 5 days and vacuum then. I have added 12 cories so there is no left over food to worry about.

    Awesome tank! The cory cats will be fun to watch. I like the black background - it really focuses attention on the aquascape and fish.
