I love tropica, more so there slow growing plants as they are well established, not sure i would pay for their stems though as even "Cheap" plants grow quickly and they will be in the same good health in a couple of weeks!

Thanks.

Personally i dont think they are bad for a first attempt, forgot to use the old hairdryer trick though :roll: lol

I would cut the bottom 1-2cm of the back of the hood Aaron so it doesn't show through the water level. No need to do the sides of course due to the reflective nature at angles.

alternatively find some way of lifting the rear up out of view

Is that your wallpaper behind or a 'basic'

white background

Thanks Andy, it is actually a white towel lol. I couldnt find a white bed sheet or something similar which would of been better because of it having the pattern

The tank was ripped down on Sunday so there is no way of lifting the hood up now!! These are the final pictures.

Thanks redcherry.

I am going to be getting a plant for the left side behind the rocks to give it a bit more height, a UKAPS member is sending me some mexican oakleaf to try, not sure if it will go though?

I like the yellow rocks, what type are they?
