Ironically this scape actually *does* go with the flow of the water, only instead of the main flow, it goes with the backflow.Forget video games, I'm going to challenge myself, choose a tank and play Grand Theft Ideas with it.
I've always angled decor to go with the flow of water, but come to think of it, I don't have a clear reason for that. I like what you did with that. Once I have enough eggs and fry, I will boot my Platopochilus into another tank. I'll strip the tank down, change the gravel and will have something to play with. Older established tanks get grimy, no matter what.
I've noticed with the wavemaker, the background plants flow towards the wavemaker instead of away. So I played around with that instead.
All my larger tanks have wavemakers now, since I lost some fish dependant on oxygen levels back in the nasty heatwave a couple years back (lost a couple ancistrus and farlowella) when my tank temps sat at 90F+ for 2 weeks even without a heater running and air conditioning! We were cooking in our own apartment! So now I run wavemakers because airstones and filter outlets were not enough to keep up the oxygen in the tanks.
We have also since got a new air conditioner, which works great and tanks rarely get above 82F during heat waves now. Summer time is when my heaters get unplugged here lol
This was one of the tanks temp readings, I checked with the digital as well and it read at 93F at several points.
So now, I am paranoid over that happening again, and preventing it by making sure I have a ton of surface agitation.
