Natural Looking Tank

[FishyGirl]

I’m thinking of making my tank look more natural instead of having painted decor. So I’m going to remove painted stuff and add natural things, I know the co op does some things anywhere else that you would recommend. Is Amazon trust worthy?

I personally would start in the woods, fields, and streambanks.  It all depends on your budget. The Local Fish Store would also be a good place to start.   Amazon can be good, but you need to read the listings carefully. Fortunately Amazon has a pretty liberal return policy on most things. Do a Google search for the items you want.  There are private companies out there that you can actually call and get answers from a live person.

Look up a YouTube channel (there's a few)...

Biotopia

They all have a very similar style and it's generally more towards a natural, biotope aquascape.

The main method of achieving this is to use natural materials, wood being the biggest one apart from the live plants. Find a piece of hard scape that you enjoy and just do a bunch of research. Find some inspiration for style and see how it speaks to you.

But yes, you can absolutely change the tank around. I move things around to siphon and get detritus out.
