My simple tank setup

[jacian]

I am rescaping my cherry shrimps tank. Reason being I want to reuse the existing GEX soil for my apisto tank and to use the black quartz sand for this setup. I intend to have it as a moss only tank.

This is tank after removing everything and washed. It is a 35cm by 35cm tank.

Laying the rocks

Filling up the gaps with small stones tied with Xmas moss


Side view of the tank.


The final look of it, not quite done yet as I will need to get more small stones.

Nice arrangement and I really love the color of the rocks. Can imagine how nice it turns up when the moss fully spread.

Nice rocky scape!

cheers

Nice rocky setup, where did you get the rock?

[Verminator]

Not where did you get them, what type of rock are they? If you know?

[Jervis]

I really love the rockscape... one of the more promising cube tanks... keep it up!

Iwagumi with moss rocks!!!

[Verminator]

Iwagumi, i shall make a note of that. I have a feeling thats an import job for me then. Doesnt sound like something that would be especially easy to come by for me haha.

Thanks for compliment.
I got those rocks many years back and I have no idea what types of rocks are they.

I'm guessing these are fossilised wood.

[ikuzo]

yes they're petrified wood

[Burnz]

yes they're petrified wood

lol i'll have to work on getting the terms right. Yes they are petrified wood as Ikuzo mentioned. I think i got mine in the LFS at Havelock Rd some time back.

Consider extending the moss to the foreground to increase plant mass? Overall, it's a natural looking tank

[illumnae]

i love your scape. simple yet beautiful

[Fei Miao]

There's potential in this tank. Excellent rock scape.

[Verminator]

Question is this a glass or plastic tank?

I saw very nice 35 litre Arcadia tank in a local shop in my area that was very similar to this. It was a plastic sided tank, or whatever material they use other than glass? I've only ever had glass in the past.

always good to keep the rocks that you find, looking for a good set of can be a real pain.

Zenscape,
I do not think I will extend the moss to the foreground as I will like to leave it bare as feeding ground for my shrimps.

Verminator,
It is a glass tank.

Will try to post an update photo tonight.

Jacian, can't wait to see the photos tonight!

Update us!

Cheers!

[jacian]

Not much of an update but just added in more moss stone to fill up the gap.

Will the shrimps survive with the black quartz? Mine all perished.
