Default ADA-120P New Layout
Spring has arrived and it is time to begin thinking about a new layout. With this opportunity to rescape, I want to learn several new aquascaping layout techniques. I will attempt my first U-shaped layout with two large driftwood pieces that I acquired from manzanita.com:



This layout will consist mainly of ferns (narrow leaf java fern, trident java fern, bolbitis heudelotii), midground grass-like plants (Blyxa japonica, pogostemon helferi) and foreground of Hemianthus callitrichoides.

Thanks. Don't worry, those blyxa will be essential to this layout. They've been developing some fresh new shoots in a holding tank. Going to be working on my rock/grass layout techniques. Will post more pics later today as I start to scape.
