    Totally agree MD, when I plan too much, I find the scape is not as good - just personal choice I guess. My best scape I think is the one I did at Horizon aquatics (on my channel) and was totally random! Rocked up, chose pieces and rock and just went for it. Great video MD! Hope those rams do well.

    Scape turning out nicely. Be cautious of rinsing out all them bags of gravel that you have been using in the sink as you can clog the drain line. Hopefully most of it settles in the p trap or flushes on but that can get costly if it plugs it up.

    The rams laid their eggs on the tiny rock because they perceive the two sides that join in the corner plus the overhang of val, as a protected area.
    Seriously, watch @Deans Fishroom when he collaborates with @Aquarium Co-Op for the best in depth videos on breeding rams that I have ever been able to find.
