After raising plants under water for last 1 year, this is my first attempt to do some aquascaping. I have a small tank which was sitting idle for a long time. And for my faulty dosing it became an algae farm. Last week I planned to re setup the tank but using the old cycled substrate. Below is my Tank Details,

Tank: It's a custom built tank with 2'x1.5'(h)x1' size.

Substrate: 1" Bottom Layer of Sera FlowerDepot topped with 3-4mm river gravel.

Lights: Will use 4 2' 18watt each T8 lamp with reflector.

CO2: DIY Yeast Reactor with 120bubbles/min flow rate.

So I finalized my scape first on a drawing board

Then Did Some Homework with Hard Scaping

And Finally Placed the rocks inside

I will be getting plants by next weekend and will complete plantation. Any Idea, Sugession most welcome.
