Default Plecory's Journey Of The Altums

Hi everyone! Some of you may remember my 3 footer was supposed to be set up for wild discus but somehow i got poisoned by the altum fever lately. I just finished the quarantine process & have transferred all 10 of them into the main tank. So far looking good & doing my best to ensure i have more updates for you all in future. Took some pictures to share as i just completed the scape so hope all of you will like it as much as i do. Now i just hope i can have a bigger tank...

Very nice. Love the spot LEDs and the effect it brings to your tank. Just a thought.. Perhaps placing the spotlights at an angle will be more natural? Like mimic the Sun's rays at a slight angle from the right/left side?

Yup! That is what i wanted to achieve. Somehow still not very satisfied with the scape, hope i can soon find the type of driftwood i want. As for now, the health of the altums are more important

Thanks! I guess i was lucky that i got a good bunch of altums coupled with the valuable knowledge shared by the other bros here on the quarantine process.
