Re did my whole tank about 2 weeks ago so will post one old photo and start off with the new scape


This is the old scape.


Got my leca used in hydroponics

Leca helped to make a hill at the back


Wood added and dragon rock added


Now the wait for the plants to grow in.

Great start! Have you used Leca before as a base substrate? Looks interesting, almost like akadama.
A friend of mine used it in his 120p and it works very well for him so far.

Hey there, what is that fernlike plant in the first tank. I would like to get some form you if you still have any kicking around.
Have java ferns and bolbitis that was in that tank but sold all of it to a guy.
