25 litre tree scape

[tim]

Hi folks, as in the title always fancied doing a tree scape so I've dug out my nano shallow and come up with this set up this morning.

Specs 60x20x20 tank
3x14w t5 (using 1 tube for now)
Cristalprofi 700 with gush nano inlet/outlet set
Co2 1bps through inline atomiser.
Plants micranthemum Monte Carlo, eleocharis mini, Xmas moss, fissidens geppi, ludwigia sp, few other plants to add to try out.
Cheers for looking.

By the way.. Sorry if i sound ridiculous, but what is Fissidens Geppi? and how does it compare to Fissidens Fontanus? smaller Strands I was thinking? is it similar to the 'Fox' Variety, as Thats what I received my Fissidens under.

Hi nath, thanks for the compliment. Fissidens geppi I purchased from hobby shrimp when I had blue jelly island going, much finer strands but darker green, that may have been due to it being low tech so I'll see how it grows high tech hopefully a bit lighter green.

Hey mark thanks, neocardinias of some sort, maybe blue jellies again I found a few when I took blue jelly island down which are in my low tech at the minute.

Hi, lovely set up.
Do thinking to add some higher plants?
Or planting the roots?
Looks little a bit empty for me, but I'm beginner.

Thanks, the roots are tied with moss so it'll be a while before they start to shape up, the Monte Carlo will also take over them a little making the look more natural, there are some stems behind the trees

In a month or two with a few trims these should fill out the background a little more.

Thanks Roy, got some growing to do until I'm happy with it

Any hygrophila pinnatifida in there Tim? Could look quite nice behind the stumps.
Love the texture of it.
