Been there, done that. I think with pretty much any tank I have ever owned

It's frustrating for sure to spend a lot of time and energy on something and it to come out looking worse. It's part of the process though so just try and enjoy it. If its getting frustrating and annoying just leave it and walk away. You can't be creative/productive when your frustrated.

Very true... My parents literally had to make me walk away lol.

I like it! The driftwood gives it a bit of height.

Thank you! I spent so long on this and I feel tired... Getting ready to go to bed now...

We have all done that, mucked about in the tank and made a complete shambles. Then tried to tidy it and made it worse. That's one of the reasons I never bothered to decorate most of my tanks. Shove some plants along the back and leave it at that.

One question, have you left enough space for your plants.

One of the joys of fishkeeping is having the "perfect" aquascape in your imagination or on paper, deciding to do it, spending hours doing it.....

....and once completed the aquarium looks like an untidy teenager's bedroom and absolutely nothing like the picture in your head or on paper

Been there
Done that
Learnt some new naughty words
And had many untidy teenager's bedroom aquascapes.....and given up on them

As long as the fish are happy and healthy, they won't notice the wild and woolly look of their home
