Well, after a brief hiatus, Im back with a pair of Mini-Ms that are FINALLY getting setup. Just threw in some DHG just to fill it in. Its not what I really want plant wise and Im desperately looking for a few plants. Im looking for some eriocaulon mainly sp. japan or sulawesi. Im also looking for some local SSS CRS or golden bees for fauna. Still need to finish setting up the c02 system too.

Thanks guys. Its not even close to being setup correctly. Im still looking for some plants to begin the "real" scape. Im in desperate need of some erio. Once I locate all my plants, I will finish the scape. To me, it looks horrible right now but I cant do anything about it until all the right materials are located.

1. Should I add something to the left rear to even out this scape? A rock? A centerpiece plant?

2. Im still debating on what to do with the second mini. Its either going to be saltwater or a micro paludarium? It is already fitted with a 70w MH so lighting is not an issue. What to do???
