Comp_Nov09: sams opti pico

[samc]

Name:samc

Tank Dimensions (height/width/depth): 13/15/14

Aquascape Name: none yet

Hardscape/Materials used: westmoreland stone

Plants: taiwan moss, e. parvula, e.acicularis

Fertilisation: 0.5ml easylife profito daily

About the aquascape: this has cost me £0.00 as i made the tank myself using a tank that was delivered broken and they didnt want back 😀. the hardscape i already had. amazoniaII i already had and the light will be from the sun

first of all i added the amazonia II

next i added the main-stone and sub-stone

next i added the barriers for the path using thin clear plastic which is used for writing on for projectors. and removed most of the amazonia using dosing spoons, but leaving some in to hold the barrier in place.

next i added the sand

i then used some cable to make the moss edge along the path

once planted with the moss stones and parvula i covered the tank in clingfilm and left for a day.

today i filled the tank and added the small amount of acicularis i have

the tank is still full of bubbles so i will update when it is clear
