Probably just needed a brake from people asking if their Dovii will be ok in a coffee pot.

Hahaha no no no im too OCD. One beautifully messy tank is enough.

I can't imagine a decaying leaf in your crystal clear gin like water.
I recon it would freak you out mate.

Fantastic information provided by Stanzzzz, I too find myself obsessed with recreating a more natural looking tank but I too found it difficult, the portion regarding the scale of objects in your aquarium in relation to tank size really helped me. I will say my tank is by no means as beautiful as some of the ones shown in this thread but I feel like after having read this article I have a better grasp on what to do to improve it! Thanks for the excellent information.

Sorry for the slow reply, been off the forum for a while.
Thanks for your comments and I'm pleased you found the thread helpful.
I think your tank looks great by the way

I wouldn't be suprised to learn he's moved to South America to live under the Amazon in a submarine.
Cruising around under the water , looking out the window at the fish and listening to The Smiths all day.
Maybe it would give him a sense of peace in his heart to be at one with nature

This made me laugh,sounds like heaven.

That's like a broken record and we will just have to put up with it.
It's a shame we can't just lift the needle.
