1 Lightly stocked 95 litre tank full of vallis, TT-EX700, Slim HOB, IPF for flow. 100w heater.

Sounds pretty. I like vallis. It's got a nice grace to it.

Sounds pretty. I like vallis. It's got a nice grace to it.

it's got the full-blown overgrown look to it, riverbed style, wood left to embed slowly into the gravel on it's own, plants left to go wild. only thing i really need to do on a weekly basis is clean out the IPF pre-filter, change a little water and take the growth off of the vallis. Been running like that for months on end, only deaths have been of age or, in one case, a birth deformity which eventually killed it
 
gravel is a mix of sand, coarseish and almost-sand

You know we're going to ask for a picture right?

DSLR is in pieces, it's gonna have to be a bridge camera i'm afraid

Well, this isn't a photography forum so you'll be forgiven if the saturation if off a bit.

No, seriously, there are few things I find more inspiring to my own designs and plans that pictures of other people's tanks so I try to get them, hunt them down, google them or whatever when I get a chance.

I found it.. in the hoover.. what a suprise!
 
bear with me

 

[Chad]

That's hilarious. 

 

[Blubble37]

That's hilarious. 

it's not the first time, it's just small enough to be sucked up and it barely makes a noise

Quality isn't great, the camera is going home
 

Spoiler

also looks a little cloudy as the filter just ejected a load of air through pipes approaching the 4 week clean

Thanks for posting those. The tank has a look I really like. It's also the kind of tank I believe makes fish feel very secure and unstressed. I had a similar tank with dwarf puffers in it and the tall plants allowed them to create territories and stay out of each others way. 
 
Lovely shots!
