2ft tank please comment :)

[yappie]

Here's my new 2ft tank.

Specs:
2ft x 1ft x 1ft+ tank
eheim hanging filter
CO2
3x18w light
profantec fan for cooling... no idea of temp yet... need to fix up the thermometer
seachem oynx gravel with oceanfree fert for bottom layer
and some unknown black fine gravel mix with a little bit of the oynx for top layer

this tank is setup for only 2 days. the some of the flora, all of the fauna and most of the equipments are actually from my brother who is moving overseas so all of them have to be relocate to my place

most of plants are in 2 days ago while the rest of the fauna are in yesterday. with about 30-40% of water from their original home. the filter came with them too, so all the bacteria aren't waste

now waiting for everything to stabilize properly... hopefully there's no casualties

Neat, but a little too neat bro... maybe you wanna dress it up a little. More plants, or you might get some serious algae issues with that amount of light and so little plants....

hehe... planning to do so... haven't gotten round to get more plants...

Aquascape-wise, I find that the rocks are not placed in their best positions. The wood on the left looks awkward too. It doesn't compliment the rocks. I find it seperates your aquascape into two, can you see a sort of vertical line on the 1/3 of your tank from the left?

I suggest more uniformity of the plants at different locations. But then again perhaps this tank is still young

hi there, try to place your rocks a little off the centre either to left or right, up to you, your choice. And i think your lights may not be sufficient for the tank, unless you only want to keep crypts, nanas and ferns. Maybe japonica still possible. Yup and try to get more plants, difformis may be a little less light demanding and can be placed to the back drop. But in my opinion, get a 55W for more variety and choice of plants to be planted

hmmm and oh yar another point to add, try to plant some foreground in the tank, the riccia you have cant be the foreground as you need much more to copver the right hand side as well. An easy plant would be e tenellus

yah... i'm planning on getting more plants for the foreground.
i'm looking at getting HC, downoi and probably a few more others
thanks

downoi will become tall.... not suitable for foreground plants

better at the back or sides
