Hi everyone, just thought I'd post a few pics of my tank as it was a little while ago (have since re-scaped but it doesn't look as nice).

It's just basic gravel from the fish shop. Unfortunately I have to tear this tank down now as I am going down to University next year, and they don't allow us to keep fish :evil: .

So, over the holidays I'm just going to keep it as a bare bottom with a few potted swords and a lotus for the discus.
