Hey all, enjoy!

Tank: 7x7x8" Cylinder Vase
Light: DIY Multi Color LEDs about 5watts
Flow: None
Heater: None, ambient room temp is 24°c
Substrate: Organic dirt, black sand, Cermaic Pebbles

Whats in the tank?
Dwarf Hair Grass
Bazilian Pennywort
Moneywort
Dwarf Sagittaria
Some Red Plant, crypt I think.
Rotala Rotundifolia
Glosso

Any help from people with "like wise" builds would be helpful.

Thanks.

Some rotala rountifolia around the center or backdrop would look pretty nice

None els wants to leave input? Hmmmm!

Dwarf hairgrass would be a pretty cool foreground for a grass-lawn look. Blyxa would be as well. Combine the two on the foreground; it would look awesome, in my opinion. You should tie up your taiwan moss to a small driftwood stump on the center of your scape to create a tree-look.

I may be able to aquire a nice peice of driftwood for this tank and more hair grass
I like your ideas NoenFlux also... Only now windering if a uplift tube for air bubbles and flow would be good. or if just the air bubbler would be enough...

is Rotala Rotundifolia a background plant?

 

[Oto Guy]

I think it would look nice as a background plant.

is Rotala Rotundifolia a background plant?

Thanks, Think I will do just that, tall in the back n short in the front

 

[boxboy]

Just planted this thing, was tired of waiting...

 

[boxboy]

So far I LOvE the cermaic pebbles, does not cloud the water or anything.
Building a uplift tube/filter so this tank can have a sleek filter and better water flow.
I hope the seeds that are planted are actually HC because that would look great carpeted...

what speices of Rasborias are the smallest? I would love to add 3 tiny fish to this and 1 cherry shrimp, no snails If I can help it.

Anyone know where I can find a like wise substrate??
This is what I have

I got it from a shop online, however I think its possable to find the same stuff else where alot cheaper.
If anyone has ideas, I wanna read about it.

 

[boxboy]

So this thread is not very intresting, to me at least... What can I do to spice things up in the tank orbin this thread. ?? Random Ideas welcome.
