Ok, don't laugh *too* hard at this, I'm not a graphics person and this is Microsoft Paint.
In every tank I've done in the past, I basically just threw things in when I got them, to varying success. I made this as kind of a guild line so that when I get the plants, I'm not staring at the tank trying to remember what I thought when I *was* being creative. Please forgive any misspellings...
I kind of want to put some pool filter sand in the front. Something pale. I've always used dark substrates, but the tan towel there it looks pretty neat...
