6G Planted With A Twist.

[sorgan]

righty so after getting some top advice from some of you planty people i went out today on a shopping trip and came back with-
a very small filter
9w arcpod
very small heater
10lt john innes no.3
bag of slate
bag of fine grit (wish now i had got bigger stuff but ho hum)
same bog wood

added to this from my collection i have some plants of various kinds and a peri pump

so far i have got this

rather soupy looking mess but its clearing
i am waiting for my drill to charge so i can make the water fallish thing and then comes plant time.
see you in a few hours

righty i have started to plant, i want some nice crypts later and a strange red thing i saw in my LFS a while back but didnt get due to it not being 100% aquatic (it will be fine in here!

its quite hard to scape as the mud is pretty unstable but it all adds to the natural look
so piccy time, remember this is a work in progress! and i suck at scaping

these are mostly plants i have stolen from my other tanks lol so there is likely to be a few snails but i dont mind them tbh.

also going to put some java moss in the middle over the bit of bog wood, i didnt soak said wood as i want it to leach into the water.

so out one of the anubias didnt like being emmersed so it is now back under water lol his mate (the cutting over) seems fine, why? i dunno.

the java moss is going to have to wait until i get a few moments to trim my other tanks.

 

[mattbleasby]

This is awesome, What are you planning to stock with?

Looks great

But when it grows some more i bet it will look even better

 

[sorgan]

i may put in some small rasboras but itsnot set in stone. hopefully it will grow bae

 

[bae1994]

Should do sounds good with the rasboras

 

[sorgan]

i have some more plants to put in, some bacora? its like loads of little round leaves and some moss.

 

[bae1994]

Very nice if you want a bullet proof paludarium plant that's azoox ( virtually the equivalent lol) is lucky bamboo

 

[sorgan]

righty so the anubias starting looking pretty bad so it is now back where it came from rehydrating, i have opted for a few house plants for the 'land' part of the scape and some other bits dotted around.

i am happy with it ATM but only time will tell how the plants will respond.
