Gonna do a journal for this one as I think it will (hopefully, fingers crossed) be a worthwhile timelapse over 6-8 weeks.
WIll be attempting a dry start so hopefully, it works!
Been wanting to do one of these for a while now and have been looking online for a tank suitable for the last fortnight, and then came across this one on eBay with only a couple hours left on auction and collection in my area so nabbed it.
It is a 22L(5.8 US gallon) 30x30x30 nanocube, and the idea is to get a little bonsai in there so it sort of looks like a tree on the hill, with carpet plants all over for a field of green.
First job to do is to give it a good clean, the backing peeled off a treat which is great as I don't think black would have suited the naturistic vibe I have planned.
Seems to be a good enough job after the cat has inspected.

What about adding even more height under the tree to make it more dramatic? If you could build your height up with the rocks you could use stem plants as a type of carpet some kind of Rotala with small leaves could look cool - the tree would look like it was on a mountain above a forest?
