My 425 L Tank & Fishes

[deogan]

I have plenty of open swimming area. I am planning to add some rocks to the left hand side. Any Suggestions?

Ya made it out of wooden strips. Did not polish it to retain the natural look. BTW did some changes in the aquascaping.

Ya the split door in the front opens on hinges. I use it to drop food. I have small wooden pieces on all the four corners inside the hood to hold it on the tank.

I still do not like the open area we have in the stones block. Shall I leave it open or how can I do something better there.

It looks like the tank is in the middle of the room? I was going to suggest a background but I guess it needs to be viewed from both sides.

Personally I would try to build something up in the middle or at the sides which is about 50% of the tank height. Stack of stones, large pices of wood, or clumps of plants. If at the sides, then the same sort of thing on each side so that the middle becomes the swimming and viewing area.

That roof is awesome

Well done

Ya the tank is in middle of the room. I will add more rocks so that it is about 50% of the tank height on the left.

I have a tiger oscar, two parrots, a severam, a salvini, a flower horn, a upside down cat (remains in hiding mostly) and one walking cat. walking cat will be donated to one of my friends soon.

The redecorating has worked as well.
