however you can't see the wood in my tank anymore after I let things grow. I like the results, let me know what you think.

The tank is a 24" high 55 gallon Hi-tech, low maintenance set-up.
A year ago I had it set up as a stem tank but got tired on the maintenance. I use a sump in the cabinet, along with an Apex Controller and dosing pump.

I used three good-sized pieces of knarly burled Manzanita to gain some height and create a "hollow" aquascape. The tank is in a corner so I also wanted the scape to slope left to right.

The only planted plants are the Cardinals and the Red Sword. The cave on the left is full of Anubias, some of those are anchored in the substrate. The other plants are the Narrow Leaf Java Fern, Bucephlandra, and of course the Christmas Moss. I have about 25 fish in there and the scape is largely hollow under the wood, making for a peaceful community fish environment .

Quite a change from this:

I think the new scape is more natural looking to me. I also have to trim back to find the wood structure in my display. However the four species of fish currently breeding in my display could care less.

Both old and new look great, I really like the sense of depth in the new scape.
