very nice layout. What do you use for the barriers between substrates? I've used strips of acrylic that I bend with a heat gun in my nanos, but that can get expensive for larger tanks

Very nice -
Only suggestions/concerns... I'd move the heater & filter intake to a rear corner and I'd worry about how long the segregation of the different substrates will hold up. Will some mosses be used to hide the nylon ties?

One question - Why add water & fish before planting (and having to repeat water/fish addition steps)?

thank you for your comments and suggestion
I employed a plastic packing, which I cut out
there will be bolbitis, on the front of the tank, which will mask them…
in fact, I put all fish in a very small tank(27l),and i doesn't want to leave one day more

Very nice design.
What material did you use to separate the gravals? Do you remove them after you are done with scaping? Sorry, really new to aquascaping

Wery nice layout with pleasent division. Good use of driftwood and rocks.

I see where youre going - and with the plants youre missing it will surely be an atractive scape.

Keep us updated.
