UDGags-125g (Baby Apistogramma!!! 5/22/13)

**UDGags** · 01-13-2013, 02:40 AM

I have a slight grade (0.5-1.0") from front to back.

So the piece on the right, I had buried the base. It looks like this

I took a suggestion from Tom Barr and flipped things so it would look more natural...going to work on this setup some more tomorrow. I'm not completely happy with the rock layout.

I especially like the piece on the left - this does look much better.

**UDGags** · 01-13-2013, 01:03 PM

I actually like the piece on the right (darker wood) more. I'm going to change/mess with the left side more today. I just don't think it flows very well right now.

**UDGags** · 01-13-2013, 09:05 PM

Tried a setup with all the wood on one side...Thoughts?

**UDGags** · 01-14-2013, 12:13 AM

Changed it some....hmmm....

Try #101

That one looks real nice

But the depth of the substrate throws off the proportions of the aquarium in my view.

It's 4" of substrate...I could always put a piece of black plastic/tape at the bottom to cover a couple inches.

I like this version the best. But I would ad some more "root" looking driftwood in the front left corner. To balance the scape better and create better depth

Quick update for tonight....

First off, I decided to get rid of the piece of wood on the left. I am purchasing one that better matches the layout from Tom B. So I probably won't have an update for a week or two.
Got the lights hung up
I ordered some more toys today...Apogee PAR meter, LaMott's AQ-2 test kit, TDS handheld meter, a couple back-up aqualifts, aqualifter holder and a replacement pH probe. I also grabbed some leftover SS mesh from work to cover the CPR202 inlet.
