New Aqua Scaping Ideas Wanted :)

[Ash18]

Well im thinking of going bk to sand substrate because it seems to brighten up the tank and i think it just looks amazing in general lol

So id just like people to add pictures of there sandy aquariums hehe im going to be having pebbles in the tank too with the plants i have already got, which are amazon sword and Vallisneria spiralis and some java moss. il be very gratful of your help

I changed from black gravel to sand about 6 weeks ago, and I'm not sure whether I like it or not, the water clarity just isn't as good as it was with the gravel. I don't think I can have washed the sand enough. And sadly I lost 4 of my 7 cory's due to ongoing nitrite spike, which I've only just sorted out with lots of water changes.

Pics before and after

I always look through the AGA entries before starting a new scape, so inspiring. I tend to do a sketch too, and try to come up with a planting plan before beginning
