The plant in front of the rock looks like some kind of aponogeton, ulvaceous perhaps? It gets very large, too large for a 1 footer i think, so better watch out for that

And the red plant looks like either Rotala macranda or some species of Bacopa. Not too sure

Loving the pot/rock formation. Really unique and different pattern on it? Any idea what type of rock it is?

[Jervis]

Those are lava rock I believe... the way you arrange them in the foreground is unique... Any idea why the water is cloudy?

Thanks Jervis Shall be keeping my eye out for these lava rocks in future, very intrigueing.

Hey Jervis, thanks for replying on my behalf. Sorry guys, I went window shopping at Y618 and Polyart. Those two LFS are great especially Polyart. Anyway yes, those are lava rocks. I bought a packet of those at $8 and it was from my Woodlands LFS at Vista Point. Cheap yeah.

Oh, about the cloudy water issue of mine. It happened all because of my 'itchy' hands. I did some shifting of my black quartz gravel and it actually stirred up my base fertilizer and yikes, it clouded my whole tank!! It was like pinkish in colour and my filter media got stained. How pissed was I! So i quickly changed the water, rinsed my filter media and changed the whole base fertilizer with another type. And i bought a box of biological filter media by Mr Aqua and added them into my hanging filter. Those pictures that you saw is actually my rescaped version.

Guys, actually i did loads of research on landscaping and I was pretty amazed on the art of aquascaping. So that got me inspired to do my own creation. Studied all the various themes and tried to fit it into my 1ft cube tank. Thanks guys for your valuable comments ; really appreciate it!

I think i maybe suffering from MTS!!(Multiple Tank Syndrome)
