The main goal I'm looking to perfect in my tank environment is a that of a Relaxing Area. I perfected this by not only having a eye catching color scheme and a layered species effect but by incorporating the area around my tank with live plants (Which benefit from stray light). The other major feature of having quite a few live plants around my tank is that it works amazing at covering up all of those ugly wires/ fixtures so when people come over to see my tank there not distracted by all of my fire hazards . The main reason I restarted this tank blog is because tonight I came down to find my Pistol/Randals Goby together for the first time . After taking a few photos I reminded myself that I had kinda let my original post on here go unattended so I started typing. Below are a few photos of the tank. Enjoy and feel free to ask me as many questions as you like.
