my 60cm tank is looking a bit of a mess now and it is time to rescape it. i have been looking around for some inspiration and came across this.

i think i am going to do a bit of a vally thing with verry heavy planting either side. i want to use some ritch green and red plants.
the spec of the tank will be
aqua one 60cm tank
arcadia 2x15w T8
pressurised co2
substraight, aqua soil or nature soil
fluval 205 filter but i may change it for a ex1200
i am going to use ada seiryu stone
plants i think i am going to use, Pogostemon Helferi, Cryptocoryne undulata and i might try Ludwigia glandulosa

What you think?
 
Re: My 60cm rescape

i have been thinking about the planting for this and have come up with this, i will be using some rocks that arnt shown in this they are better shown in a plan view. i will post it up when i have time.

using,

Eleocharis parvula

Re: My 60cm rescape

Nice haul. It should come up good, shame that power sand is an expensive folly :(.

Re: My 60cm rescape

i have sorted out my images i think they should be a more sensible size, this is the tank with some plants in as i am filling it up.

Re: My 60cm rescape

thanks, i have 4 harlequins and some pigmy corys, i also have some cherry shrimp and ottos for cleaning duties. the amonia level has dropped to 0 so i have put the livestock in. i will post up another image now the plants have recovered from the planting and have started to put there roots down
 
i have had some problems with my stems at the back of the tank so i have added some other plants into the mix which should provide a good background contrast, they are Rotala wallichii and Rotala rotundifolia.

My lilly pipes turned up the other day also so i have them on now, i just need an external heater now!!

It looked like this on monday,
