fish tank picture - Another view of the old layout of the tank prior to it being redone. The new decorations were siliconed to the botton prior to the subtrate being added. All the plants are ceramic or hard plastic i.e. Cichlid-Proof

fish tank picture - Side view of the still dry aquarium. The old custom-made palm trees were replaced with the original ceramic versions by Top Fin after the decision was made to get Mbuna Cichlids (due to their habit of shredding leaves/plants)
