nice setup! behind should add more soil... :P
My first attempt at Hemianthus callitrichoides. Decided on this instead of Monte Carlo since the tank is so small. I know this is not a easy plant to grow and if I fail I will replace them with Monte Carlo.
Undecided whether to flood the tank or wait till the plants take root. Probably the later.

Nice looking rocks!!
Day 7. No sign of growth yet.
Patience young padawan. We measure planted tank time in months, not weeks nor days.
A trim today will show its effects next month.
Expect some melting due to transition growth.
Prepare to fight algae soon if you have high lights, low plant mass while running EI.
I am more worried about algae growth than plant growth especially for this type of setup.
Hope to have the old timers guidance once the tank is flooded on managing algae. All tanks have them just how much.
Hi, gnesnah.
I've been following this thread secretly.
I like how nicely your substrate and hardscape has been placed.
This isn't your first time taking a shot at aquascaping, right?
Would love to see how this turns out.
All the best.

Hi Wan
My 1st planted tank which I started last November with a few pieces of lava rock and a pot of hairgrass. Didn't like how it turned out.
This HC tank is my 3rd. Spent time looking at all the pictures and videos on the net to get some ideas.
Still have my 2nd 30cm cube planted tank of Nanas. This how it looks.
Looking nice!

Day 16
2 weeks for the HC to take root. Time to transition them to submerse form. Flooding the tank.
will you pump in CO2?
