freshwater 20 gallon re-scape
I've been playing with Black Flourite sand in my little 4 gallon, and decided to try it out in my 20 gallon.

Water has cleared up a bit more since this photo, that's the one thing I hate about fluorite substrate, it clouds the water initially no matter how well you wash it first.

Re: freshwater 20 gallon re-scape
That looks good. It'll look even better once those crypts cover the substrate. Did you change lighting or is it camera effects? The second picture is a lot yellower than the 1st.

No light change yet. My iphone just likes to automagically adjust it's white balance on me. Right now I'm using a 15 watt single florescent tube light meant for a 10 gallon, LED replacement is in the works. I used to have a coralife power compact dual on that tank but the ballasts died.
Crypts by the way were of a single grab bag from Aquarium Co-Op

I liked the original. I think it must have just been due to the lighting. The new one really does look yellow. The phone really did a weird change to the lighting.

I like the new black substrate, but I thought the big plant in the center in the first photo did a nice job of hiding the heater... I imagine when the plants fill in, the heater won't be noticeable in the new setup either.

Re: freshwater 20 gallon re-scape
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. The big plant in the middle is now on the right corner. A second Amazon sword is in the left corner, so I'm hoping they fill everything in.

Update on the 20 gallon, added some javafern from a grab bag I got at Aquarium Co-Op, things are starting to get established.

The addition of the Lilly in the front was a cool choice. It looks awesome. Plus the fern to fill out the back makes the tank look much fuller. A bit more time and that fernshould stretch out and fan most the background. +1 from me

Re: freshwater 20 gallon re-scape
