Techs Fluval Edge Journal

I'll be doing the details and such later, after work. So this is just a place holder

 
 
But, It will be medium to high tech, LED and CO2 Injection etc etc.
 

 
Mists still kicking up from the substrate and all that but once it settles and I start moving stuff around I'll take better pics.

Is that a shrimp I see flashing across the front of the tank? Also, are those rocks natural or man-made?

Does indeed looks like it, imo looks like an Amano Shrimp.
 
Nice set up though, like the rocks

I like the rocks too. That's why I asked about them. They look nearly perfect, the kind of rock you always try to find but can't.

These rocks, they are real, I have bought the same types of rocks in the past and got them in LFS, pretty common and not particularly expensive.
 
Though have no idea what they are called, will have a look next time in LFS and see if they have a name.

 

[techen]

There called "Mini landscape rocks" However, I don't know there true name that's just what my local LFS calls them.
 
I love them because of the texture, It looks amazing and its my favoute rock for any planted tank, Moreso when I get my high tech stuff sorted and get some real nice growth going, Those rocks will stand out a lot.

 

 
Need to trim the hairgrass a looooooooooooooot, Will do that soon and start looking into some nice plants and such. Also gonna get a yeast CO2 factory set up soon.

Looks good techen. Specially the rocks.
The rock looks a bit like seiryu, but seiryu is really expensive and not common at all. I'd be interested in knowing what they're called as well.

I love the rocks too. I've not seen anything like them for sale here locally. They really do look like giant rocks seen from afar. That's terrific.

I was about to post that they look like bonsai mountains. I'd like to know what they're called too.

Mini landscape rocks. Beloved of Takashi Amano, although he tends to use larger ones. They're also known as Seiryu stone and I believe that they're a form of limestone. They certainly look like limestone.

 

[techen]

K, So a improvement. Will post more stuff later.
 

 

[techen]

And here.

I prefer the layout like this. Is there any room behind the rocks to put some of that eleocharis in? It might give more of a sense of depth.
