Here is my new 10 gallon I just set up about 3 weeks ago. The fish are two Kribensis and an otocinclus. The left side has some small stargrass stems, but they arent growing to well. I might just replace them with some more M. Micranthemoides. The tank just got finished going through an algae cycle so things dont look to good.

Plants:
-Nesea pedicellata
-M. Micranthemoides
-Stargrass
-Ludwigia repens
-Hygrophilia Polysperma 'Rosanervig'
-Anacharis






Specs:
-10 gallon All-glass tank
-3 15 watt NO flourescent tubes
-2 hagen co2 systems
-100% flourite gravel

What do you guys think?

It looks great, rocks look nice.

Cool tank. My only suggestions would be a background and some more green plants. You have red substrate, red rocks (unless thats just odd lighting), and several reddish plants. I nice bright green stem plant near the back left would look great and add contrast, making the red plants stand out a bit.

The first thing I notice is that everything looks red, adding some green plants in the back left corner will help. Also a background would be nice. Other than that it looks very nice, I really like the rock work. Once it fills in more the tank will look even better.

yea i just got a black background yesterday and I put it on. It look better allready. As for the green plants, what are some suggestions?

Wow, I really like the overall red theme. It blends together beautifully, and for some reason the color eases the potential harshness of the rock and provides a very soft "feel" to the tank. It may not adhere to the standard tenets of aquascaping, but I think it's danged purty! I'd have a heckuva time picking a background for it - what did you choose?

I got a black background on it right now but it is two sided so I can switch to blue if I want. Any suggestions for the green plants?
