As you can see, I'm in the emersed stage right now and will post updates as the HC spreads. My goal is for the HC to spread next to and in front of the manzanita so it looks like the manzanita is nicely hanging over the carpet. I also know that the red sea nano is pretty small for this tank but because I'd only have 4 fish maximum. I'm hoping the plants will do most of the filtration (the filter is mainly for flow).
Thanks for looking and comments and critiques are always welcome!!!!!
