My friends are having planted aquarium since 7 years. They invited me to design aquascape in their tank. We collected rocks from the mountains of Rajasthan (Dungarpur). I have arranged the rocks in the tank. After some changes and shifting, they were satisfied with the look. My APC friends, pl. kindly guide me, if any changes in rock arrangements.

Tank size : 69"L x 16"W x 24"H
Co2 : Industrial co2, with bubble counter and carbon ball diffuser
Filter : eiheim external filter
Chiller : DIY
watertemp : 25 degree C, constantly maintained by digital counter
substrate : Jbl aquasoil and Contrasoil.
Fertilizer : root tabs, trace elements and hydrophonics fertilizer.

Plants decided for plantation
foreground : H.C., Dwarf Hairgrass, Glossostigma, riccia & didiplis diandra
Background : Rotala (Green & Red), anubias coffeefolia, bolbitis, african fern, java fern, hygro polysperma and red ammania.

Plants are ordered and will arrive next week. I will soon update with pics after plantation.

Yesterday, plants arrived at their office. We have planted them and started filling the tank with water.
Here are few shots of the tank. Still the water is not clear.

I have invited them to join APC forum and they have agreed with me. So next updates will be from their ID.

I like the setup. It almost seems like there is 2 different setups in one tank if that makes any sense at all. Also, I personally am not a huge fan of the background but that's just a personal opinion.

Should be nice when plants mature

you are absolutely right carlos. I have arranged the rocks as per liking of two persons. Owner of the tank are two business partners.

Secondly I have to put the background in order to hide the back wall and pipe fittings.(you can see them in previous photos of setup)

I hope this tank will look nice, when fully matured.
