The first picture is what the tank looked like to start with, rubbish. The second picture is after I changed it around abit, I would have loved to keep the amazon sword but it literally covered the top of the water so no light was getting through. Anyway and the last picture is of my aquarium now, I changed the tank completely, changed from sand to gravel, bought some plants off of Modaz ( they are beautiful) and actually ...
