Hi Rui,
cool setup, but eleocharis is superfluous for me there. In spite of this fact I really like how you defined concave layout.

Btw, what's the stone origin?

[RuiEstrelinha]

You can't see Eleocharis sp. yet
She is growing behind the rocks em java fern, and she have more than 20cm is a big species.

Off course that I understand your point of view about Eleocharis sp., but when she full grow up you will see the effect that I want, I hope

Don't know what type are the rocks, I just colected from nature, arround here where I live, Portugal.

Thank you!

Well, I can see eleocharis in the mirror effect on the right side of your tank

As for the rocks, they look like they're calcareous.

You mean you collected the rocks? So good. If only Sg have places for us to 'collect' too.

Nice and soothing setup. If only you cn hide the pipes and tubes will be great.

Nice, I like the left bottom part of the tank the most.

[Tetra Lover]

Very nice setup...especially the rocks. Perhaps you would like to put in more plants to cover up the background.

Cheers

[juggler]

Nice setup. It's like a biotope.

Hi Rui,

A simple but very nice setup. Will you be sending it in for the ADA 2007 competition?

With the addition of stemmed plants, are you going for a triangular layout?

I was thinking perhaps glosso will lend a nicer effect to the foreground instead of hairgrass. Just a thought
