So I finally had the chance to re-scape my Fluval Flex. This was my very first tank in the hobby; now that my collection of tanks has grown to 3 - I was able to move all my fish and give this tank the attention it deserves.
I had in mind an island scape, using just hardscape I had already.
Like many people, I started with plastic plants. But after discovering sites like this I soon wanted to move to real plants.
So after stripping it down and giving it a good clean, here was my blank canvas:
I’d added the 3D background when I first got the tank, it was firmly siliconed in place so it had to stay. Besides it would match the seiryu stone I had in mind.
First the driftwood, I had 4 fairly small pieces which I wanted to look like one big piece:
Then the seiryu stones to create my island and contain the Tropica Soil, and surrounded by white sand (which was the original substrate in this tank):
Next planting.....
