As the topic says, this is my first try at a planted tank. It's nothing like most of the ones posted on here, but eh, it is a start. Hopefully this will become a great learning experience, which it has, and will allow me to expand my skills to become even better in this hobby.
Before right at start up:
After 2 weeks:
I have realized, after the set up, that border stones are a must when trying to separate hc/substrate from the sand. It is such a pain to take the soil out of the sand all the time.. hence the reason why you still see soil mixed with the sand.
I'm wondering as to how hc will look if it did grow in the sand?? Might seem more natural or just take away from everything. Im not too sure what to do here.
And as for my out of place rock.. I understand that it is a 'no-no' in aquascaping, but meh... what can you do. I have thought of growing something on there to hide its colors, but haven't found anything as of yet.
All suggestions/comments are always appreciated!
