Re: My 55G
What kind of tank is it? is it brackish or salt? Im not a fan of ornamants. but ill try, since it is asian style, I dont know if they are fake plants like that, u could try lillies. not too big so they suit the foreground.
Re: My 55G
I think it looks good.
Something you could add would be higher decorations. A lot of yours are close to the bottom. If you could get some fake plants that would spread out and reach higher up in the tank that would be nice.
What type of fish is it for? That'll make a difference in your decorations

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Re: My 55G
Nice Ornamental set-up. I love Asian style gardens and the same style in fish tanks are really nice looking too. But I like the more natural look in my tanks but one day I might set one up something like yours. Some little DP's would look good in that tank, imo.

Re: My 55G
Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm currently working on setting up an underwater waterfall. I hope it turns out as cool as it looks.
@flutter- I tried finding some higher decorations, but these are the tallest my LFS had. There's a cluster of them in the left corner of my tank.
@purple candle- I hate my current background. They had this nice bright blue with natural stones one at my LFS but were out when I tried to buy it. I'm still waiting for a new shipment.
