Normally, I'm no big fan of black backgrounds (loved the orange-one, by the way!). But in this tank, it looks great! Never seen so much crypt-species in one tank, even never heard of some of them. They look fantastic and the Danios stand out in that layout and, luckily, have enough space to swim actively. This is an absolutely wonderful tank, congratulations ❤

I would have struggled with removing that driftwood arch. It looked great by itself. However, removing it took the tank from yet another nicely escaped tank to something really special 😍👍 that hyper natural mixture of plants is stunning. Thank you 🙏 I think I learned a big lesson here.

Wow didn’t know hard water can actually etch the calcium into the glass. Did you try to polish it out with something like car polish compound? Maybe hit it with some strong citric acid or something before hand?

Thank you! That one is C. purpurea, but there is also C. cordata var. siamensis in there which can have a slightly similar vein effect :)

orbital sander and some 8000 grit sandpaper or some cerium oxide will take those marks out. Cheap to do if you already have the sander. £30 if you don't
