Still Learning: 48L

Post by ricoishere »

I put a little time into a GL48L over this weekend. I'm 60% pleased how it has turned out, I might move hardscape around. I can't wait for it to fill in though.

Foreground suposed to be Utricularia graminifolia (still growing)
Midground is Microsword
On hardscape is Subwassertang (thread came loose 3rd day)
Background is Blyxa Japonica
to the left is Pelia and Mini-Pelia growing on a screen, will be moved later
Neon Tetra
Amano Shrimp
Crystal Red/Crystal Black Shrimp

Daily dosing (no Excel)

-Compressed CO2
-Eheim Liberty Filter
-Light is Catalina PC from 47G (20" 3 x 39W) 10K 8hrs & Plantgrow 30min

As always, advice, comments always welcome.

Its a good start. Your hardscape looks like it is in a straight line and right in the middle of the tank. Stagger them, front to back, side to side. Also grouping of rocks looks better, as well as varying the size and height of the rocks.

Thanks Jeff. I was actually looking at some of your scapes, that's how idecided on that stone. The one on right is about 3" taller, it just leaned. I'll stagger front back. Thanks for the tips.
