Default My first Aquascape tank.

My first aquascape redone for the second time. It's been a working progress really.
Except for a formal Co2 reactor and drop checker. I've almost have it all together.
So this is my 29 gallon tank. I got rid of some plants we bought a few months back.
They were almost dead from the lack of every thing.
So 99% of the plants are new as of this a weekend.

looks awesome!

ever consider changing the middle isle to sand? imo tank would look beast if a white/tanish sand was used in replace of whatever you have there :P

i was wondering why u have those rocks there haha. that huge one on the driftwood is a turn off :P!! but if ur using it to help sink your driftwood it depends in my experience...with a size like that prob couple months. i had a huge piece take 2 years to sink...i was suprised it sunk. lol.

also did u grow that (hc im assuming) carpet or was it transfered from another tank? wouldnt know how long it takes to root :P

Yes the rocks had been used to sink the driftwood. I've removed them. Thinking about sand as well.
All the baby tear has died off. That sucks waist of money
