I've only had nano's so far and after collecting a few I've finally had the planning permission to go larger and thanks to Andy I'm now a proud owner of a 60P + accoutrements.
Anyway I've been planning my layout for a while; basically bringing the rock together from 2 nano tanks + on the insistence of the mrs Im finally using some amazing wood I shipped from Tom a good while back.
Its not quite finished as yet as you might notice I'm currently lacking the substrate (I need to go and buy some tights so I can bulk it up before adding it). But I must admit to being pretty happy with the look as present - its pretty close to what I was aiming for.

I have quite a few plants from my nano's + I've bought a few on here, but looking at the scape I'm not sure where to start. I had envisaged a few small lawns of HC interspersed with tufts/bushes of Blyxa or flame moss as per one of my inspiration pics (I have bloody loads of costal pics with over hanging tree's and the like).
I have a lot of weeping moss for the wood and I was also originally thinking some riccia, and/or fissidens dotted around + then maybe some bushes of something like Hemianthus micranthemoides in both corners, but now I'm close to planting I'm just not sure.
In past I've tended to add far too many plant species so I'd like to keep it simple + I'd like to avoid Microsorum as for some reason the mrs just doesn't like them - even when I show her them in Amano's tanks.
I will be injecting CO2 dosing EI and should have plenty of light.
So can you let me have your thoughts advice and suggestions please?
Thanks
Phil
