Looks good, but you really could do with a background of some sort to hide the wires/pipes etc behind the tank [even the ones inside the tank gets less noticeable if you have a dark background].

looks nice, very pretty cory! and plants !

as far as the background I think it makes the fish feel safer as well. Some people even cover the side walls also. It can be as easy as cutting black thick hefty garbage bags for this purpose. It does camoflage the wires and equipment well.

Indeed, on my new tanks in the fish-room, I've painted both sides and back.

I wondered about the suitability of the substrate upon first glance (grain size & shape) but those adolfoi do look in top condition :thumbsup:

Those are beautiful! Nice colouring and healthy :thumbsup:
I also noticed you have one of my favourite plants - the red tiger lily. That becomes a pretty huge plant and will flower for you after it sends some leaves to the surface. On the other hand it will shade your tank if you let it - some of the leaves get about 6 inches wide :shock: Good for algae control and providing shady retreats!
Is the oxygen pearling from extra (gas) co2 or maybe liquid co2? Very nice pictures!

What's the tiny leaved plant? nice.

it is dwarf baby tears. I just did a water change that is why the oxygen is so high.
