urville

I overhauled my tank. I kow, so close to the contest. blah! anyway, i think it looks far better. most of the plants in there i am selling, and i'm waiting for some new stuff to come... mini moss and some other stuff...

i read the foreground sticky. i dont have the fancy tools. the tools i do have are awesome though, i bought a three pack of scissors from wal-mart craft section really awesome stainless steel and littl just like bonsai pruning scissors, and i found a pair of bamboo tongs at petco in the reptile dept, they are for feeding mean lizards lol... anyway i replanted my lilaeopsis and this is the outcome i hope i did it right. i only used bits with good roots.


i also took some of the local moss i found and put it in the tank. i washed it real good, (thanks jimjim) and it took awhile to sink but eventually did. here is a piece that was rooted to wood. i took the little hunk of wood and wedged it in a crook on the malaysian drift.


hopefully this stuff grows well, if not i will simply pull it out. the other piece i casually laid on this other driftwood just to see if it will grow. I am usuing the incoming mini moss for the foreground up to the lilaeopsis.


i will be adding a bit more lilaeopsis and some tonina belem, walliichii or red milfoil. i could grow a wall of taiwan moss on the back glass instead of using the taller plants... one or the other. i hope the thought i put into it this time shows. I went from short up front to taller n back same 1" of sand on schultz. meaning the sand is all 1" but the schultz makes the hilly back. under that is a bit of mulm and peat... just a sprinkling nothing thick.
here is the new layout days old pic, not updated yet... hehehe


what do you guys think. sorry so long
