    Tucker's Anubias Tank

    Hey Everyone,

    After spending the last 6 months making mistakes, learning and growing my knowledge of planted tanks, I have decided to try my first serious Aquascape. This is the first of two tanks that I am doing. It is to house a pair of my Ivanacara Adoketa which will be the eventual highlight of the tank. After spending time collecting all my Anubias Petite and Anubias Nana I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase them all in a single scape. At this stage I still wanted this to be a low tech tank so I am not using CO2, however I will probably dose a little bit of fertiliser every couple of weeks. As I am often interstate for uni/work at the moment, I need to leave the tank in the care of my housemates so I can't afford for it to be overly complicated.

    Sorry for the crappy photos my camera is out of action at the moment so I had to use my dodgy old one.

    I would love some constructive criticism on what people think so far, I do feel that I need to add something to the branches of the driftwood but I am not sure what would fit in - I have some weeping moss that I could place strategically?


    Cheers,

    Tucker

    Re: Tucker's Anubias Tank

    weeping moss would look nice (:
    and perhaps some smaller rocks at the base of the current ones to create a gentler slope down to the substrate?
    just my two cents (:
