I spent too much if you factor in all the plants/hardscape/etc that I bought for this tank but did not use.

Looks really nice!

The wood in the upper front right and upper back left is alittle tight, but will probably soften up once it greens. How many pieces of wood is it actually?

There are 5pc. and the front right was not planned in the initial scape but it kinda helped it so in it went.

Don't know if this helps but: It looks better than ANY of the minis I saw set up at the ADA gallery. Hmm, but that's not sayind much since most were just a hunk of wood on sand with some moss on it. Anyway, looks like you're off to a great start dude.

I really like this nano and I think that, in 5-6 months, it will be primo.

Congrats on the hardscape; it really flows well, maybe except for the upper right branch, wich I think its too long. Maybe when moss covers it up, will be be smooth down and contributes to add a better feeling to the general layout.

This being said, I agree with Steven in every word.

Regards,
André

I really like this tank..I think once the moss grows in it will be contest worthy...I have the mini s and went with rocks instead of driftwood..but if i could have found the right wood i would have went that way..i got my moss to grow a little faster by trimming it frequently..everytime i seen it growing out of place i would trim it..also for these tanks cuticle scissors work great..

Thanks for all the kind words!!!!

I don't really like the right branch either and it wasn't meant to be in the scape. It's easily removable so if it doesn't fit once grown in I will remove it.
