Rescape one month old 2ft tank

Hi people...

Managed to have some time to take photos and load them up. Will appreciate comments and perhaps some ideas of plants to fill up the left side of the tank...

Cheers

Not bad, though lacking in colours. I quite like the ideas behind it.

The green tiger lotus tend to have fewer but much large leaves then the red tiger lotus. The leaves can get up to a feet long, so you'll need to keep it in check. Always make sure it has good light and at least 2 leaves. I've killed 2 on mine by overtrimming and allowing the left over leaves to be shaded by the neighbouring red tiger lotuses. I think it'll make a great center piece for your tank, but it'll have to move towards the center a few inches.

I don't think you need more plants. Just move the tall plants to form a wall at the back of the tank. Fill up the space vacated with more Blyxa. It'll make for a simple but nice scape.

Thanks for the feedback....

About the lack of color, initially thought i got get a little variance in color tone from the rocks i have. Suppose to have 2 on the right and 1 on the left.. guess the ones on the right have been covered by the huge leaves of the lotus.

Lightings from the lotus should be fine. Dun intend to have anything near it so guess light will be right down on it.

The empty spaces that you see in front are supposed to be hairgrass... gave them a trim a week ago and waiting for them to grow.

For now, guess i will keep the back of the tank ard the lotus bare to emphase it.

Just snap a shot of my tank with my new digicam... take a look and will appreciate comment on tank and esp the photos.. how to improve and stuff. Dun seem to be able to capture the driftwood at the right corner. Maybe need to intro some extra lightings...

same website as above, thanks...

Maybe set to a lower ISO and use a more neutral white balance.
