WOW!  That's beautiful! Nice job Alasse! It looks brilliant! How long did you take to put all the gravel, driftwood and plants? Your wish list is great too. |

Your most welcome. Actually, both. How long did you take to plan it and to put everything in such as the driftwood, plants, water, etc...? |

I sorta plan as i go...no real set plan that is. I already had the tank, Light, CO2, Filter, 3 Driftwood pieces & some plantlets
10th July 08 ~ Tank cleaned with vinegar and water.
12th July 08 ~ Aquabasis and gravel put in, 3 pieces of driftwood added and plantlets from my 5ft tank. CO2 added
17th July 08 ~ Plants added
18th July 08 ~ 2 pieces of driftwood added and more plants
Will start doing every second day 25-50% water changes from tomorrow, to help keep the water clear of tannins.
Hope that answers the query for you |

Yeah! Nice! Your tank is small but perfect to fit all those driftwoods and plants. Nice work! Good luck with adding fish.  |

I think it needs some kind of carpet. Dwarf hairgrass would be a good one...
Looks pretty cool!

As i stated, more plants are to be added
No hairgrass in this size tank, it tends to take over. I'm hoping to get some HC for the foreground, but i have to wait until i have the T5 lights. |

It hasn't taken over my high tech! As long as you spot the runners - it's easy and makes one of the best looking foregrounds out there. HC is great as well. |

I took over in my 5ft low tech, it was removed, and i'm hesitant to try it again *L* It's too tall for the look i want.
So i'll try HC or similar |

Glosso perhaps? That might be easier to find. Or, marseila hirstua is a nice looking clover like one. A bit bigger than HC/Glosso. |
