Adandrews' 35L Nano

thanks mark and llj, Im proper excited about this one, cant wait to plant it as its my first try, maybe thinking of a red-ish plant to go in with the mostly green colours, its just where to put it

Hmmm. A red plant. I love red, you know this. But, we want to preserve the delicacy of the Iwugami. So, take care, it's placement is important. If you put it directly behind the largest stone, you run the risk of having it look like an irrupting volcano. I don't know if you would want this and it might be inadvertently funny.

Gosh, you guys are making me want to setup my 8g again. The temptation is very strong.

Ace of Spades, you've a right to your opinion. But let me explain. Many young scapers emulate a master scaper. Like young painters learn from a master. They then, once they've learned the skills, develop their own scapes.

Ahh, I'm fairly new to Igawmi or w/e this style is, So I apologize to you AdAndrews for what I said and wish you luck in this project.

Nice scape and tank.
People will post on whatever they want though, it's a forum.

Back from holi now, atleast i can plant the tank up now i have asked my lfs if they can get in the plants i require: e.parvula, h.c and riccia so hopefully there will be some pictures of the tank being planted sometime this week.
thanks

Looking good. The hairgrass will look lovely with that type of rock.

Good combination. the p.helferi would look good around the rocks. With the hairgrass around the front.

[Duck and Dive]

Can't wait to see it updated! I am going to follow this as I think the tank is going to look stunning.

 

[AdAndrews]

plants ordered off tgm instead, 3 pots of e.parvula, 1 pot of hc, and then im robbing a bit of p.helferi from my other tank

havnt decided yet, have to see what colours suit when i plant the tank- i know one thing though, they will have to be tiny!

shrimp will go in first, followed by ottos/snails if need be
