I finished the Aqua Scape on my newest tank in the Aqua Bridge setup.
This is what it started as.

Here it is after I added the Dog Wood branches and foliage.

Since finishing it besides the 6 Juvenile Red Jewels my Poly's and Black Belt Cichlids have been visiting this tank more often.

160 gal bichir tank. Hard to believe there is over 150" of bichirs in there

I am cheating a bit, a couple of fake plants in there while swords, Anubis, Wisteris and Val's grow out

Haha I noticed that! It reminds us both of the dinosaur ages! I haven't gotten a good look at the 2nd one cuz it's loaded on photobucket so I don't even bother. I'll have to go on my laptop to check it out.
