Additional Information This aquarium is competing for the second year the entire foreground was replaced with natural gravel to represent the draught. Also couple more fish were added as well as a few river rocks to add more contrast. Following the refresh technique shown in the magazine do-aqua! The tank was empty the foreground replaced and the plants replaced to change the look.
Even though the idea of changing the tank with the weather is a neat novel idea the rocks used are a little too large and generally round. Adding more of the smaller stones seen in the first photo would have been less eye catching yet no less effective.
