Hi mate.
Prospects are good with that specs.![]()
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

"if he cant be bothered to take the time to write his question properly, why should I take the time to answer him."
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 (:
