20 gallons planted tank (mostly live plants and fish) - 20 Gallon with both live and artificial plants. Custom 3d background and twin HOB filters and heater built in. Community tank with cardinal tetras, bloodfin tetras, nerite snails, gourami, ghost shrimp and peppered corys. Took a lot of time and effort to get this tank up and running but I think could compete with any smaller tank set up out there. Good example of making the best of what you have to work with. Would love feedback and opinions of this tank setup.

20 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - 20 Gallon freshwater tank with custom 3D background and rockscape. Uses two aquaclear 50 gallon HOB filters and heater incorporated into the 3D background. This tank was a lot of fun to build and goes to show you can do a lot with small spaces.

Description: 20 gallon tank with twin aquaclear 50 HOB filters. Custom 3d background with rock landscape that hides both filter intakes as well as the heater. Landscaped with rocks as well as artifical and live plants. Took a lot of time and effort to get this tank up and running and I feel it could compete with any small tank setup out there.
Advice: Make the best of what you have to work with. Not everyone has a 120 gallon aquarium to work with. You can make great aquascapes with limited tank space if you use your imagination.
Fish Kept: German Blue Ram, Peppered Cory Cat, Bloodfin Tetra, Cardinal Tetra, ghost shrimp, nerite snails, opaline gourami
Corals/Plants: amazon sword plant. Java fern.
Tank Size: 20 gallons
