It just so happens that I love those things .

Are those real or fake plants?

fake : ( i had to buy this setup with my mastercard so my budget was tight i knew i needed to upgrade from a 20gallon for 2 ceylons asap and my wife let me splurge a little.

Love the rock formations. Personally, I am a huge fan of adding plants, and of different sizes. I like to put the really tall ones in back, medium ones in the middle, and small ones up front. Might want a lot of breaks in LOS to prevent boredom and aggression. Just my two cents, love the way it's setup though, I love the rock formations!

Just saw this post. LoL at least you got the tank and not just more plants/deco

Just save up for more plants? The small ones that I mentioned are sold by Petsmart for $.99 US. Also, if you have something like Craigslist, people break down their aquariums and sell stuff like plants and decor all the time ^.^ ahaha, at least they are just an inch!

its hard to tell how much you will need in an aquarium i stoped buying stuff cause i thought it would be to crowded boy was i wrong. $140 worth of rock and like $60 for the plants figured it would be enugh guess i thought i had more rock than i did. all in all setup cost me $887

Eeek! You must have bought a brand new tank and stand. Ugh. I wanted to do that at first, but I couldn't realistically afford it = / so I kept looking at craigslist LoL. I was able to find a good tank and stand for $125 (guy knocked off $5 when we got there) so that way I was able to spend the rest on the rock. But you needed something quick and it's a very nice tank ^.^

What an awesome new home for your baby Ceylons. They're going to love it, and they'll have so much room to grow and grow and GROW!

yeah its a new tank and stand i live in a condo on the 4th floor so i cant aford any leaks. i already had a misshap with a used 90 gallon i had and dont want to deal with that again.

Looks awesome, I think some more rocks and plants would make it look awesome.

Are those rocks glued to each other in anyway? If not id worry about them falling and cracking your tank

no they are not glued but they are pretty solid they interlock like lego. when i do a waterchange ill make sure they cant fall against the glass by adding more rock. i have another 25lbs of rock in the 20 gallon i have cycleing that i can steal
