    You might want to put stone to block your soil from falling down to your white sand. If not you may have a hard time picking soil from the sand area.

    Very nice indeed. I'm not an expert but somehow it gave me a very natural look. Not sure if it's the lighting, the well balance on the layout (1:3 ratio or something like that), just gave a great scaping look at the first glance.

    What are your plant choices or it will be pure rocks-only scaping?

    How about fishes?

    Can't wait to see the updates.
    from 14L to 8L tank.

    Re: New 3 footer...

    imo, try not too have many stem plants, if not it will cover your "already very nice" rockscape.

    Re: New 3 footer...

    The plants you have chosen will grow tall and cover your rock scape. You might want to consider plants like Downoi, S.Repens which grow to a mid level. And carpet maybe hairgrass.

    Thanks for your advice. All stem plants are behind rocks. Prepared to do trimming to keep them neat.

    Planted over weekend. Rush job. Spent too much time gluing mosses (1st time&#128513. Very messy. Now waiting for stem plants to grow out. Need to touch up front and mid ground. Intend to replace mc and remove some of the tenellus with L. Brasiliansis. ...

    Thanks. I was inspired by the mosses on your scapes. Very neat and tidy. How do you do it? Do you use meshes/small stones or just glue?
