60 Litre Rescape

[L_Plates]

Evening Everyone, i have just started to rescape my 60 litre tank. Originally it had blue gravel and and sunken ship

This is the first time i have really tried to design a scape as a need some practice for when my new tank is cycled.

Tonight i have changed over to sand with a piece of Mopani wood with slate at the front edge and a few plants. I tried to raise up the right hand side to get a feeling of height.

The left hand side is empty at the moment but i am waiting of some hairgrass that i plan to grow as a carpet.

All comments / ideas are very very welcome.

I like the over all shape of the scape, if it were me I'd shift it to the left a little to allow more plants behind the rocks and wood, you could even tie some Anubias or Microsorum to it.

Cheers, there is actually quite a bit of space behind the wood and i am waiting on a Hygrophila difformis to arrive as well as the hairgrass. So i will be adding the Hygrophila difformis where the swords are and move a few swords around.

I like the idea of anubias so i will add that to my next order

Cheers LP

So far so good, all the fish seem happy with the changes made last night. They seem to like the open space

Have you added the plants yet? Looking forward to seeing it when it's completed. Don't know why, but i would have put that on the left hand side of the tank and the hair grass on the right hand side. No idea why though? I always seem to arrange my tanks from left to right. lol.
