Creating natural, functional cichlid display tanks

[Lilyann]

Or you could have an arrangement like where the tree meets the rocky stone substrate. See how the base of the tree is raised up with roots leaves etc... Further away from it is like a bunch of fallen sticks in a cluster. I think if you concentrated on these three elements you could produce a really nice biotope.

Lovely looking tank.
The aquascaping looks to scale, provides retreats and hiding places, looks natural and is very pleasing on the eye.
Great job.

You get so many types of Spotlight because few, if any, are built for aquarium use.
