I am a noob as well. I love it.i don't see anything wrong with it. I'm sure some aquascape master would be like "well that one leaf is out of place." But don't forget it's yours and all about how you feel about it. As long as you love it that's all that matters. But I say you did a great job. My...

Hello everybody. Just thought I would post my new little project. This tank has been in several post as many different things. Im just never happy with what I end up with. I was on ebay I know right EBAY. and I bought some "glosostigma" seeds. They were $1 so I didnt expect much. So just...

Alittle side note. I intend on bringing this inside when the temps drop and supplementing humidity and light. Mainly for the moss the hibiscus requires a much sun as you can give it. But the moss will certainly die. But the moss can handle all the light I can give using a cfl or sufficient led...

I'm not 100% well I'm not even 1%. I gathered it from my mother in laws house a few years ago. It grows In massive sheets every year in the runoff area in between the rows of town houses. I also have a hanging planter 12 inches in diameter. That started off as four inch chunk. I'm not sure what...

Ok so update time I guess. After the winter we had I thought my little ball of moss was done. I've seen it come back from winter before but I figured it was a lost cause. And to my suprized it is doing fine. Took a little bit of care with balancing the right amount of moisture and light (isn't...

I'm on the low light bus too :) . I would have the hardscape on one side or the other. I like the look of one side full and one side open for the fish to swim. While providing cover and hiding spots if needed. But I guess it's hard to say it all depends on the hardscape you are working with...

So true

I cheap but messy "better safe than sorry" way might be to get a few tubes of silicone squeeze them out in it and basically spackle the inside. They have it in black or clear. Just a suggestion.

Looks great. Can't wait to see.

Wish I could help on that one. I have no experience with plants. (Damn being broke :( ).

Looks great. I like the way you can see the character of the hardscape. It doesn't just disappear behind foliage. It compliments the greenery. IMHO

Interested in what it will look like as it grows in. Just the way it is.

You are correct. The paste does need pressure so I guess its not the best idea there are some that dry up and act like a glue but that is usually when they stop working.

I'm not 100% on the glue vs paste. It does seem that the heat is getting to the plate quite well. Now it's just getting it off the plate fast enough. I love leds but man can they be a pain sometimes. :)

Thermal paste will be your best friend. I had an opps moment on one of my pc builds and didn't have the proper paste on my cpu and it was the difference from running at at cool 22c to running at insane 120c in a matter of seconds befor shutdown.
