hi there, here are a few pics of my new tank:

the tank - open tank 60*40*45 cm 12mm thick glass
the lights- arcadia 4*24w o-bar


power sand special - s


the driftwood, the aquasoil , the powersand and the TETRA filter ( i realy like the tetra filters )


jac my friend arranging the driftwoods


we forgot to tighten the taiwan moss so we did it in the dry tank


filling water before planting




jac planting the palnts with pincette


VOILA - tank is done after in two hours after starting




jac is taking a pic near the tank pretending that its his tank - our big lie for april 1'st



after two days - as you can see, we used only 5 species only : eleocharis vivapara, eleocharis acicularis, hemiantus calitrichoides, blyxa japonica and taiwan moss

Looks like you're going to have a nice scape. The only thing that might get in your way would be the symmetrical driftwood layout and similarly-placed Blyxa japonica.

I'm using the full resolution for the new skin and can't see them without scrolling. Can you please resize the pictures to 650 to 800 pixels wide? Either that, or can the first post be broken up into one or two photos per post so the scroll bar is closer to the pictures?
