Very, very lovely.

 
 
Thank you for your kind words 
 

Live wire it looks fantastic!

Has it grown on you yet?

I have neon greens in my 54 litre - they're so active and fun to watch!

I've been having a read of the whole thread and you've done some incredible scaping. Even If you've been unlucky with the fish

I have just purchased the 35 litre in this tank range

- for a betta

 
 
Thank you also, to tell the truth this tank has grown on me because it looks nice and is simple to maintain. Once the HC has fully  spread across the substrate I am going to remove the Eco complete substrate and replace it with Colombo flora base, I have a load of landscape rock so will be attempting an Iwagumi Scape, only plants I will use is HC and Blyxa Japonica. 
 
The Green Rasbora are great fish, even more so when the light catches them at the right angle, and I still have the same 12 I purchased ages ago and have not lost 1. I have seen one of the bigger fish eat a baby cherry shrimp so I am reluctant to put my army of Crystal Reds in there just yet. 
 
ps3steveo did a great job with the LED hood, I kind of wish I went for 8 LED's even tho 6 seem to be doing the trick.

Update, 
 
Managed to get hold of a TMC 1500 Ultima tile along with a TMC controler, the plan is to purchase a new tank to replace my Roma 200 (with either a TMC Signature tank or a custom tank from NA Aquatics), I will be using this tile on the new tank but at the moment I thought it would be rude not to use it so its on the Arc60, the tile is only running at 50% power because I dont want my plants to get to much of a shock. 
 
Also I have dumped some Blyxa Japonica in the corner which I will be using once I rescape this tank, a random piece is floating round at the moment as I am not doing much with this tank at the minute, just waiting to get some time for its rescape.

Thanks, it does look nice but is in need of a rescape witch should be done in the next month or so.
 
Watch this space lol

Love this scape, have you thought about entering it into any comps? I think you'd be surprised on how high this would place.
