how the tank is coming on

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Think it's looking well too! The wood looks really unusual. I'd say it's going to look really well when you have it planted up and they start growing :)

great start, the hardscape is looking good and with the hight you seem to have you should be able to do some really good planting there. Looking forward to the next update

Im sorry if this offends at all.
I have to say I wasnt mad on the first pic - the only thing I really liked about it was the use of wood on the left. The stuff in the centre looked like you were trying to put it in place but it wouldnt stay. The floating ball of moss didnt look great either.

Now the last pic - That is AMAZING !! I really love what you have done, a simple change in the placement of the wood really made a difference.
I love that you added more sand too, and the plants look amazing.

Such a change with just a little work.
I really cant wait to see the plants grow a bit more, this tank looks fantastic :clap: :clap: :clap:
Any other day, Id say no. But today I'm just gonna go ahead and say NO.
