Tanks look great Alasse. You clearly have a passion for fish. Hope my 7footer will look as stunning when it arrives. How long do you normally cycle your tanks?

Thank you.

I do fish cycles, as to how long that is depends on the tank really. The above is 2 days old, but has a mature filter in it.

The clowns will go into temp housing while the 5ft is completely pulled down.

Substrate will be white sand. Plants will be Large swords and Val. Hardscape to be large branchy wood (if i can get some) and possibly some rockwork. Fish will be ????????????, nah not telling until they are in and then i'll grab a pic ;D

Fully rescaped the 2.5ft angel tank, no longer housing the angels though, they have moved back into the 4ft planted. Not sure what will go into the 2.5ft now though
Fully rescaped the cherry shrimp tank, plants were required elsewhere and excess wood added. This tank is like a storage bin *L*
Goldie tank had a 50% WC done today.

Oooh, I love that last picture, of the 5 ft. Wood looks really good in tanks. And the 2.5 ft is just gorgeous.
Alasse, have you ever submitted an entry to the AGA Aquascaping contest? You might win a prize.
