First Attempt At Aquascaping... Plants Coming Soon!

[johnboy!]

This is a slow one, tank is 24x24x16 high, so its a nice size, currently has
4.6 Phantom tetra
1.3 Bolivian Rams
3 unsexed Chocolate Gourami *getting seperate species only tank*
1 unsexed zig-zag eel
1 unidentified plec *more then likely a L001*
6 long-nosed shrimp

Currently waiting for silicone to cure on my slate bits, they make a Y shape from above, with several layers for hiding etc... hard to explain without pictures which i don't have until i find my camera
Light wise i have a 4X T8 holder currently using 2 bulbs, will have another two running as soon as i find the bulbs out, just basic white tubes

Looking at growing a moss over the slate, and then twisted vallis for the background, foreground wise i want a few small colourful plants... suggestions welcome, pics coming of slate aquascape as soon as i can find my camera

Still unable to find my camera!

Slate is dry now, gonna put it on a sheet of wood the size of my tank and see how it looks and hopefully get pics!!

My camera should be called osama bin laden! can't find it anywhere, i've managed to get the slate pile into the tank, just temporarily to see how it looks, gonna give the tank an hour then i'll get pics on my phone (very crap quality) but at least you will be able to see what i mean
