I’ll be honest here. I haven’t been looking in that often because these heavily aquascaped perfect garden tanks are not to my taste.

But this looks absolutely stunning. For me, it’s on that fine line between ‘natural’ and ‘garden’ (it has a lawn) but somehow it looks totally natural. It’s beautiful, even. :)

And those colours on the surface in pics 5 and 6 are amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, what are they reflections of?

White light refracting into its component colours at the surface? That makes more sense. I was thinking coloured lights…

Wow, thank you for your compliments. It's compliments like what you guys on here have given me that make me wanna keep going at it, even when i come across issues like algae blooms, just gotta work through it and the hard work will pay off eventually.

As @fr499y has said, that is the reflection from the WRGB lights I have above the surface. I saw it and thought it'd make a nice pic. Lol

So that time has come again to shut the tank down. I will definitely be back though. Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone that has helped me out with tips and advice since the tank has been running, I'm very pleased with how the tank has turned out.

5 months worth of WCs, sweat, blood and trimmings. Lol. I shall see you lovely lot when I'm back again
