I have been spending the last few days working on my sunken forest 55 gallon tank and moving my LOTR Castle to my "new" 30 gallon tank. The Sunken Forest is still a work in progress but I thought I would share some photos of my progress with you. I changed everything in the tank except the anacharis forest on the left side. Sorry but my old camera does not do justice to the color.

Looking good so far! Are you planning on adding any stump like driftwood?

I have some driftwood I may add later plus I plan on looking for some more this summer. These stumps I had in the basement from my cichlid tank days. I may add some java moss to them.

Love it! Are the neons the only fish in there? I’ve always wanted to do a tank of just neons.
