A beginner 1 ft aquascape

[Hagalogy]

Just bought a new 1ft tank / Fluval C2 / Led lighting and trying out to do some simple aquascaping after inspired by all the expert beautiful posting.

CO2 will be added later cause send for refill.

Any pointers that i should take note of?

It is a good start. Continue trying to experiment and you will improve. You may wish to get more rocks or dw for that scape to play with.

Interesting first-timer scape. Just like when I first started. If frank opinion is given, visually it looks a little off balance because the nana look like a dinosaur, standing tall and huge, engulfing the whole "landscape".

Ever consider shifting all the black substrate to the right corner where the dw was errected and than focus all your plantation in that corner while keeping that "erected woody" untouched. Let the white substrate flow down in slope from the planting ground, until it occupy all your forefront to the left like huge plain beach? Use your stone sparing to demarcate the black planted land and the empty white beach where its "emptiness" makes your 1footer look bigger. What do you think because I am learning too.
