I design/draft homes for a living, so maybe I can convince a few home buyers to let me put tanks into the design! How sweet would that be

Oh heck yea!

Here are a few pics from my progress today....I found the perfect piece of driftwood, installed it, then added a few details, mixed my substrate, and added a little java to the wet sections. I used roughtly these quantities for the substrate...
-2 cups eco earth
-1 cup peat moss
-1/2 cup charcoal
-1/2 cup orchid bark
-1/2 cup milled sphagnum

If you have any further questions I will answer them in full force tomorrow

I'm a big fan of running water features and that new viv looks fantastic.
