thats tiny!!
Is it an 8"x8"x8"? Close up pic, please!
that looks like a 4x4x4. Nice job :)

If you have more than HC in there, I would keep it just HC rather than a couple or 'runner' plants. Eventually one of the runner plants invades and takes over the other(s) ime.

If you can slope the back right corner more too that will greatly enhance the depth of the scape (also ime :) ).

Keep us updated!
where did you getsuch a tiny tank?

Actually split the difference...it is 6"x6"x6" haha but i am working on a 4"x4"x4" at the moment as well :)
i plan to only keep one plant species in it... i went with HC because i have a ton of it in all of my other tanks so it didnt take many clipping to plant this thing :) however i wanna pick up some Fissidens splachnobryoides and pull out the HC...
Ill take some more pics later but for now here is a pic of the inspiration for this tank.

I actually got the tanks at Michael's Arts and Crafts store. The are just glass cubes meant for floral arrangements haha!
Nice. Did you use something to emulate water like octopus did over at ASW?
it was a sad attempt :)
hooha i took your advice and raised the back right up a bit... I also pulled out the HC and used Cladophora aegagropila in its place....here is an updated photo.
