GB Sobral » posted 2009/01/30 07:02 am
Beautiful rock and plant arrangements, plus the faux background! Looks so natural; one of the best I've viewed. Is your tank top, i.e. hood, homemade? It's difficult, if impossible, to get a hood unless it was included with your thank when purchased.

hey very nice tank, was just wondering if you bought your background or you made it? if so how?
djdeeno djdeeno » posted 2009/03/14 08:00 am
I wanna know how you do it this background, can help me .... I like it so much... is ... the best and very natural tank. Great job!
Finn Zeigermann » posted 2009/04/03 07:45 am
Very nice job, building up this tank, and caring for the fish, instead of caring for yourself.
