while waiting yesterday for a couple new appliances to be dropped off i couldnt keep my hands out of the tank... i wasn't "completley" satisified with the aquascape... so i redid it...

Well it turns out I cant take pictures under LED to save me life but this tank has already got some impressive colors.
