I definitely prefer the new layout. Should look even better once it all grows In.

looks nice
Thank you for all your comments. Means alot for a newbie like me...cheers
New layout is very nice indeed. I like dark tanks, all the more because I don't have one. It reminds me of the times that I spend in the natural river habitat section of aquariums. Very peaceful, so you've chose an apt name for it.
