I think its coming along nicely. Any suggestions for improvements welcome.  Ive since added a spraybar and will be changing the background soon.

you could have a nice carpet of one of the smaller crypts as their are some that only require low lighting

a nice carpet at the front right hand corner of theas would look very nice

 Re: How it looks now..
Thanks for that gwa, I had a look. Nice plant but I think I like the open gravel at the front. Its hard enough cleaning the gravel between the plants ive got . Might give it a try though.
I changed the background yesterday to a plain black and put some more bushy cabomba in there. Still not 100% on the background, it makes the gaps in the plants more obvious and the back of the tank seem to sudden. I'll stick with it and see how I like it. I did have some anubius on the bogwood but it didnt do well and the leaves fell off. All the other plants have shot up, esspesialy scinse the cynabacteria has died back.
Thanks for the advice

It looks really good.

Do you fancy doing my Goldies tank as I don't think I could make mine look half as good as you have yours!

Thanks Sophie.

I found it realy fun designing the layout of my tank. It turned out slightly different than what I had envigaged(?) though.

To be honest I would not know were to start doing a goldfish tank. I think I wore poor EagleC down to the bone with my insesant questions when I was doing my tank.

The best way to do it is to find a picture of a tank you really like that is suitable for your fish and just try to copy it but add your own touches. Just make sure you have the right substrate for the plants etc.
Will look forward to seeing yours!
