Very nice! What are tank stats? What are you planning to stock it with?
Eddie
Started a new project for my living room last week so i thought i will share it to all you guys as well.
Bought a tank secondhand with a BTN background in it that i felt i found where cheap, BTN doesn't come cheap i most say.
135x50x70(lxbxh) 475 L

The stand looks great too, pretty handy. Nice work.

I went for light color sand, 0.2 -0.8 mm sand, so fine sand its almost impossible for dirt to penetrate, easy to clean become all dirt stays on top of it Thats way i like it

I also chose to use Terminalia catappa leaf in the tank for the look of it and they benefit the give,(most belive in them to work) i put down 15 leaf in the tank and think i will do.

For plants i had a bit of prob to chose what to go for, so for now its just anubias in the tank and i dont think i will have any more plants except some flouting plants, and some Monstera deliciosa that will grow over the tank and just have the roots in to the tank for the nice effect they give and work as a good filter on top of that.
Here is where im at now to day with the project, I really enjoy the tank in the living room i most say. No more TV for me at nights

I'd like to see pix of the Monstera deliciosa rooting in the tank, that would be crazy to see.
Eddie
Thanks for all your comments Eddie
The monstera is rooting as cuttings now and will take a few weeks before i add it to the tank. i do it in a windows before i add it.
Have a few older photos to share with the same use of monstera....
