My Aquarium

So far, I've changed the layout of my aquarium. I removed the driftwood from the backdrop and put these rocks together to resemble an archway, under which my Buddha statue now stands. To soften the edges and prevent the rocks from looking barren, I added some moss to the top of them. I am pleased with the outcome, and so far it has managed to hide some of the tank's less appealing areas. For the time being, both the fish and the plants appear to be fine. There were some deaths as well, but I believe they were caused by a health issue or just by getting older.

Thanks I bought these rocks but it is not formed like that. they are all separate rocks. I was planning to just lay them down the tank but, in the end, I was able to build it like that. It took me hours before I was able to find a way to connect them the way it looks like that.

@jobelbojel It was just a random notion I had, and I had no idea how it would turn out at first. I bought the rocks, but when they arrived, I didn't know how to link them, so I just put them in my tank. However, I wasn't satisfied with the results, so one night I decided to remove it from my tank and experimented with gluing stones together until realizing that I could create something resembling a door or an archway. It wasn't easy to attach, so it was a battle, but I eventually managed to do it by combining black sand with glue to create a cement-like substance.

@JudyEv Yep I am glad you liked it. When I was trying to create it I had no idea what I would make of it but little by little when I connected one rock to another it came out to be like and archway which I never though it would be. It took me several attempts to fully assemble it since the glue is not able to really bond it. It took me several hours before I finally found a way to bond them.

Although they do contribute to my use of electricity, I don't believe it will have a substantial impact on most of them because they don't consume much. At a specific moment, the lights automatically come on and go off. It has a timer built into the light so I can program when the lights come on and go off. The filtration works similarly; after letting them rest for a while, they turn on automatically.
! It's a colorful and lively environment you've created for the fishes and plants
