That's why I keep this aquarium in my bedroom, right in front of my bed. The con is that the light is so bright that it isn't very easy to fall asleep looking at it. LOL

Well, thanks to katya_dog1, I managed to change the title of this topic. That being said, here is one my other aquariums:

Those plants are supposed to grow as high as possible. My intention is to hide the back of the aquarium.

Hope you like it.

I swear I posted this earlier but I don't see it now...

Your tanks are beautiful and I would definitely appreciate any advice you can offer me. Mine looks terrible in comparison

Sorry for taking so long. I thought I had already answered you. I doubt I have the expertise you're looking for, I'm keeping aquariums for only nine years, but feel free to contact me any way you can. Image Send me a message so I can share my e-mail or WhatsApp with you. ImageImage

Hi, guys.

Just a quick update of one of my aquariums. Trimming my plants was not enough: I had to reposition them. This way they will not shade the small ones and will grow more compact.

Hope you like it:

I am ever in awe of these aquariums, hodric. I love freshwater, natural, planted aquariums and yours emulate exactly what I'd want.

I need to get back into aquariums.....

These are two beautiful aquariums, thank you so much for the photo updates, Hodric! I love watching the plants fill in. Planted aquariums are by far my favourite choice for them. I recently got back into aquariums myself, and have fallen in love with live plants all over again. :D What plant species are you keeping in there?

Some of them used to get a little curious and try to bite the shrimp in the beginning, but the shrimp wouldn't fit their mouths even if they wanted.
