55 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - taken on 8/24/09 Recently did the annual clean and since home depot no longer has the sand i used when starting the tank last yr i decided to go for the half&half look for the sake of a thicker substrate bed, i think it came out nice. I also rearranged everything and placed my plants in bunches as opposed to just along the sides and i think it makes it seem a bit more full. also added in 2 mondo grass which seem to have taken well. backdrop is now also gone for now, i seem to like being able to look through to the wall i guess
