It's time for plan-ting 📋🌱


Rotala Macrandra
Saturday was a busy day, where should I start? 🤔 After some earlier research I had an idea on the direction I want to go with my tank, as you've seen in the previous post I did some visualization of how I'd place the rock and the driftwood in there. All in all, I've changed it slightly during all this, as I've decided to put the rock that was in front a bit deeper in the substratum so the whole set would look steeper from front to back. I've also glued the driftwood to the rock itself, when setting such things up please remember to check that the glue can be used in tanks and won't affect the water in the future such as cyanoacrylate glue.

Eleocharis sp. mini



As for the plants I didn't want to go overboard with the variety so I was really trying to keep myself in check with this, so I went with Rotala Macrandra which is a bit taller plant and has a red tint/color, the next one that I went with was a plant from which I wanted to grow my tanks carpet/grass sort of thing and it was Eleocharis sp. Mini, and as the last addition I had two types of mosses Vesicularia montagnei popullary referred to as Christmas moss, and Vesicularia sp. known as Creeping moss. So finally with all the plants, equipment, tools it was time to put it all together...
