Scaped and planted for a betta (Cotton) and a few ADFs and shrimp. Used mature filter media. The lighting is on the lowest possible intensity and provides a nice, subdued amount of light. Tank is lightly planted with hornwort, anubias, crypts, Marimo ball and a large floating mat of Amazon frogbit. I plan to add more anubias and crypts sometime over the next few weeks, and replace the frogbit with some salvinia do the roots don't hide the aquascape.

It is a new tank with fresh aquasoil, so I am not dosing for the first couple of weeks.

 

Also going to remove that bit of mopani, it was from the old tank (Fluval Spec III) and I just put it in without thinking.

 

This is gonna look great once it's completely finished .

 

I like this tank. Subbing.

Thh, I like the look of amazon frogbit in there, the root system is impressive and offers a good hiding spot for fish/inverts.

 

Added several pots of Nana petite, some pennywort, and oak/magnolia leaf litter.

Residents keep scattering aquasoil on the sand!

Wanna add some more anubias and crypts after Christmas.
