Ira Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 But i am never contempt with it!! Why would you want to disrespect your tank? Most people would be happy to never feel their tank is inferior. Now, if you're never content with it, I'd suggest just leaving it alone for a few weeks, you'll never be satisfied if you're constantly rearranging it. It's not as if the fish care what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Maybe post some pics so the pros can tell you where you're going wrong. I've found with my tanks that they NEVER look right until they've been sitting for 3-4 months, then they start to look a lot more natural.

sandman Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I was a bit like you, my tank was a mess to start with.All the plants were covered in this brown muck and the gravel was all brown and yuck, and it didn't look very nice at all.After a while though with alot of water changes, some triming of the plants and about three months have gone by and it now has started to look much better, infact it looks like a river scape and my fish and plants are starting to grow.Time is your friend just let it be for a while and you will see.

whetu Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 What kind of decor do you have in your tank? What kind of look are you trying to achieve? Some people love the American-style tanks with fluoro pebbles, bright fake plants and ornaments. Personally that's not my taste - I definitely prefer dark gravel, driftwood and live plants. Look around for photos of what you like, to help narrow down your own preferred style. Then study all the pics carefully and work out what you like about them. Then see if you can reproduce that look in your own tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 there's definately a few companies overseas that do a job aquascaping for rich lazy people, I use them as ideas...and you should leave it for it while (I change my tank around every 5/6months) b'cos it does stress your fish out a bit unless you don't have fish in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetu Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ira was just being a smarty-pants. You used the word "contempt" when you meant "content." I would say to Ira "people who live in glass fishtanks shouldn't throw stones" and he'd better watch out next time he uses a word in the wong context! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatopia Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 They are for the sentence they are in though, lol. On another note - there are some letter combinations in the Thai language which, when pronounced differently, mean up to five totally different things. And none of this nonsense is going to help with aquascaping :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 it must be a contextual thing then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
