Well.. it wont be mine for much longer... cos i'm selling e entire setup in a few weeks..but as for now..i'll do what i can..

Haven't been working on it much though...been busy with other tanks for ADA2006..but just decided to take a snapshot of this while i'm at it..

Noid's Hill


Full of tetras with "No ID" yet in there.. so much for originality in naming the scape..haha..

Hope you guys enjoy it..

Hey,

Tank looks nice but if I had to change something it would be the foreground and maybe one corner of the back. Maybe you could get a brighter low growing plant for the foreground and move out some of the rocks to make the front seem less hectic.

For the back maybe 1 taller plant in the left corner of the tank to off set the moss in the back of the tank.

I cant really move the rocks cos its all embedded.. but i'll see what i can do with the plants...
The left side does need some work...everything seems so level now..

well.. decided to add some info on the setup..

Tank size : 10 gals
Gravel : ADA powersand and Amazonia
Filter : Eden 501
Lights : 24watts PC (i'm thinking of upgrading this to 36watts.. but we'll see)
Plants : Ranunculus papulentus, Christmas moss, Fissidens sp. (taiwan), Hairgrass (Japanese sp.), Riccardia sp. (Mini pellia), Ludwigia guinea, Barclaya longifolia 'red', Cryptocoryne nurri, Hygrophila sp. araguia.
Fish : All unidentified tetras (contaminants of south american shipments mostly) - except for 2 Horadandia atukorali.
Temp : 22-25 degrees.

I'm thinking to remove the R.papulentus soon.. seems to even out everything and make the top "hill" line disappear..
