I started this scape nearly two weeks ago. It's a 35cm opti-white tank which is 35x22x25. I'm using a Dennerle corner filter (which might get replaced for something a little more powerful) and have CO2 via a 2kg fire extinguisher. Substrate is Colombo florabase and unipac zambezi sand, with various mixed gravels as well. The light is a 13w unit I bought in Holland recently, while working the UKAPS stand at the Vivarium show (which was awesome!).
I have 3 lonely cherry shrimp in the tank at the moment, but I plan to buy a small group of 10 or 20 in the next few weeks. I'm not planning on any other fauna. Plants are Bolbitis Diformis, Anubias Nana "petite" and "bonsai", Staurogyne Repens, taxiphyllum alternans (taiwan mosst), Fissidens fontanus and Hygrophilla pinnitifida. I might add one more stem plant, but not decided yet.
So, some photos
This is the initial planting:
I had to wait for more plants to be delivered:
And some "arty" shots I took last night, 1 1/2 weeks from initial setup:
And a better overall shot of both my new setups. This is the view from sitting in bed
Thanks for looking
