Today's work; diy tool stand and added jbl volcano wraps

V3.0

That looks great, well in proportioned and scale.

I love the continuity in the way you have faced the wood, very natural looking hardscape.

 

[CooKieS]

thanks guys, natural is what I have in mind

What about the fish selection?

I'm thinking of these:

simulans tetra or
coffee bean tetra (hard to find) or
hyphessobrycon roseus (yellow phantom tetra) or
kubotai

And as cleaning fishes;

otocinclus sp. or
panda loach

What do you think?

I really love the Paracheirodon simulans. They are cheap, school well and man they shine! Very hardy fish to.

Kubotai will give better sense of scale. Also very nice fish. But a bit expensive over here!

I added ada amazonia soil and eggcrate to separate soil from sand and add some height to the Back, next step is adding la plata sand and more rocks!cheers

Looks like the 60P scapes are popular these days

Very nice hardscape. Well balanced and the wood size seems perfect for this tank. Looking forward to seeing this planted!

 

[CooKieS]

60p is popular and great to scape so it doesn't surprise me

Well, I've just added la plata and nano
Pebbles rocks.

Here's the not so definitive plant list (any thoughs welcome!):

eleocharis sp montevidensis
Anubia petite
Microsorum trident
Bolbitis heudelotii
Lilaeopsis braesiliensis
Marsilea crenata
Christmas moss
Riccardia
Hydrocotyle verticillata
Elatine hydropiper


Cheers

Nicely done, looking very natural.

Have renamed this scape 'cheetah on the run' because of the shape of the middle Wood I just add.

Looks very nice and natural, it all flows very nicely.

Much appreciated, thanks.

'Flow' , 'natural' , 'river' that's the feeling I want to achieve in this tank.

Btw, I just ordered those sweeties;

Cheers

Nice plants!
I’ve seen you added the aquasoil already. Do you know that it shouldn’t get dry so you should cover your tank if you’re not planting straight away

Didn't know this , had tropica soil before and let it dry for weeks before planting without problem. What's wrong with the Ada?

Anyway, Thanks for the tip mate, I've mist some water on the soil and a plastic sheet to keep some humidity in there

Cheers!

How do you manage to keep the beer in the glass sideways too?

Another step, another beer
