Hi everyone,
I am getting back into the hobby after a several year break and am setting up a high tech 60cm tank. The plan is for a densely planted nature style tank.
Equipment:
UNS 60 tank
Kessil A360x LED light
Eheim 2215 with inline Hydor heater
5 lb CO2 tank with GLA reactor
GLA inline diffuser
ADA Powersand with tourmaline BC
UNS Controsoil, 10L, Fine
Hardscape
Hardscape from right side
My plan is to have an aquascape that is viewable from 2 sides, so I decided to do a triangular composition. The wood is pacific driftwood and the rock is Ryuoh.
For plants, the plan is to have a carpet of Eleocharis parvula on the front and right.
The hardscape with be covered with a variety of epiphytes such as:
Microsorum pteropus (trident)
Bucephalandra
Anubias nana (petite)
Fissidens nobilis
Vesicularia (chrismas moss)
Hygrophila pinnatifida (hopefully growing emersed on the protruding driftwood.
Background plants will be Rotala h'ra and green.
Eventual inhabitants will be red cherry shrimp and celestial pearl danios.
Thanks for looking. Any feedback is always appreciated. Right now I am curious what you think of the hardscape layout. I am planning on leaving it for a couple of days to make sure I like it before using glue to secure everything.
