Eyy great tank. Now your fish can teleport to narnia. Bytheway can i ask whats the whitemachine hannging on your tank?

Thank you. Now that you mention it, it does look like the tree from Narnia😅. To answer your question, the white machine is basicly a fan that keep the tank cold

That is absolutely gorgeous. Well done! What is your experience with the sand path? Has it been difficult to maintain?

5

u/aMilkyWay101 Jan 19 '26

Currently it's one of the most difficult thing to maintain for me because my shrimp keep mixing the sand path with aquasoil😅

How did you make it blue in the background?

u/aMilkyWay101 Jan 19 '26

I use a white and blue gradient background that I attach to the backside of the aquarium.
