After all of my hemies got carp louse, i took them out, because i need to catch them and take the louse off manualy.
During that operation i took out all the wood, since i would be easyer too catch them.

I asked my friend Håvard too help me, here is the result.

I think the tank i quite nice :D

it's a little bit emty on the left side, maybe i put some more wood there, but i don't know yet.

Thank you :)

All the stones are from the nice coast of Norway.
Some of the stones are very heavy. I've been out at the coast many times too see if I
can find some nice stones. Some of the stones are very nice it self.
