    Here is my CRS tank planting mainly moss. I am very new to aquascaping, currently learning ropes through the forum. Please do guide me along. Plan to make a low tech tank with short lighting period (approximately 3-4hr per day) with low upkeep prefered.

    Soil: Red bee Sand
    Filter: Eden 501 with 1 bag of Azoo glass ring, attached to undergravel filter
    Cooling device : fan 24/7
    Lighting: Atman brand 7w 7200k

    Current flora:
    Spiky moss on dw
    Flame mos tied on the rock + free floating 1 behind rock

    Addition coming soon:
    Similar shorter rock with US fissiden tied on it (placed to the left of tank)
    thinking of adding 1 more ss mesh of US fissiden on foreground (suggestion please)

    Fauna:
    1 tiger oto
    14 CRS

    that's quite an unnecessary derail of someone's scaping thread exotic, and not to mention in very poor taste

    Was told by LFS as lava rock. But do not think it is.

    Before Bro Illumnae posted this, A guy name "exotic" posted stupid vulgar comments on your thread. Bro Illumnae then reply him with that line. Check Announcement. The guy is banned.

    Think we should conc on bro WHQ's tank instead.

    Just a query, I was quite concern in the white stone inside. I wonder is it safe for Crs. I understand that crs is pretty sensitive. Would the composition of the stone (probable trace amount of iron or copper) leaked into the tank caused distressed to the crs?

    Can show a better pic of the inlet? Wattage of light looks low but bright enough.

    Those CRS of yours look good. How about APP for foreground?

    If his aim is to keep crs, the colour contrast between the soil and the shrimp will be very nice.
    If his aim is to scape, some foreground plant will be good

    I am concern about the rock too. But I just test the rock with vinegar (no reaction, as in no bubbles seen). But praying hard it does not leak iron or copper. If calcium then i will be very glad.

    The inlet of the filter is connected to the undergravel directly (from the picture i am trying to cover it with flame moss and rock). As for CRS they are grade B bought from one nice bro in this forum

    Actually i am planning to use US fissden on ss mesh as foreground (starting with a small piece, hoping it will grown nicely). Trying to balance far viewing of tank (scaping), and also able to appreciate my CRS up close. Any recommendations (I know i am greedy ?

    Cheers
