That's a 10g?? Wow, it lends itself to a much larger looking tank. Nice scale!!

The slate is siliconed inside on the back of the tank, its actually sandstone so its not quite as heavy... any freshwater tanks i set up in the future will definately have this kind of background.

Thanks

That is by far THE most realistic freshwater tank I've ever seen.

Props to you, man.

That's crazy realistic! Even the lighting suits a fresh water environment. Nice work!

I was surprised that it was only a 10 gal too! NICE WORK!

I too love the back wall. Very cool. Love all the plants as well. The tank looks great!


I'm always a sucker for lil puffers of all sort, FW or SW. Got any pictures of your little puffers? What kind are they?
