I haven't fully decided yet but either:






I'm just trying to decide who will do better in this viv.

[iDart]

Hm... that's a tough decision. I'm partial to retics, myself.

What kind of wood did you use? Malaysian? It looks great.

Yes, it is Malaysian. I know, it is a very tough call. I'm leaning towards the Vanzos though as they would really pop and show up in there.

[iDart]

Yeah, that's a good point. GO VANZO!

Broms mounted high on wood = growth success.

Sadly, I'm not . This was by far one of the best vivs I have built yet that I really like the layout, but I got a new protean tank and didnt have room for both . The new tank is going to look 10xs better than this one anyways so I can't really complain.
