Mini-M - Page 8 - Aquascaping

How's your M. minuta foreground going? I'm about to have a living move and I was contemplating tearing my 29g down and actually attempting to scape something for once. I definitely want a foreground plant but I'm scared about glosso's maintenance,

So pretty much a choice between HC and MM.

Wow!! Great journal, and a great tank. Although Im not into driftwood, this tank has evolved very beatifully with the moss and the glosso. I like the way the glosso has grıown in your tank, tiny bushy effect, after they get all around I think the tank will look awesome.

Im in love with those java ferns, but in my opinion they should be more dominant, more visible.

Goodjob,

The foreground is not glosso but actually marsilea minuta which looks much better in the right conditions.

I have torn down the scape since everything grew in and in the beginning I was sold two different types of moss which was not suppose to be.

I have gone a different route with the tank and will post new pictures once it fills in a bit better. I am using M.Minuta and it is growing out super nice!

I guess I'm going to go the MM way once I get settled in.

Things to do:

Order Manzanita
Mock up a scape in 3D
Order the plants

Woohoo.

Nice tank, EK!!!! The ONLY suggestion that I have is that maybe if you could get rid (somehow) of the "runner" of the rostrata, it may be a tad less distracting. Otherwise, it is very well made, dude!! Nice work! It is very annoying to see people that voted on your tank before it was near completion; how can somebody "grade" the tank if this is a "Journal" and it will be very obvious that the tank is inevitably going to go through some rough phases and so on. VERY irritating! I give you a "5" for this one! Well done!

Thanks man!

There is no rostrata in my tank though....it's E.tennellus.
