After finding a 5 liter bowl in a charity shop a few months ago I have been trying to find a use for it, I had previously been using it to keep my spare riccia alive and felt this was a waist of its potential. What I have done is got the left overs from my Riccia and tied it down to a CD with netting, I am also using play sand to fill the bottom. I am hoping this will create a bit of lushness whilst I sit at my desk and work, I have a beautiful chrome light courtesy of Ikea and have swapped out the incandescent light bulb with a 11w compact fluorescent which I image will do the trick at penetrating the massive 10cm of water
I have started dosing EI at 0.5ml and plan on doing this in half measures in terms of only dosing maybe twice a week.
I know its a bit boring but it does look nicer than it did being a floating mess, and I think should create a nice mushroom effect once it gets going, I just hope it doesn't start reminding me of the Teletubbys or I might have to get rid
I was thinking of maybe 1 or 2 small shrimp at a later date and maybe a little moss tree in the middle that should slot in nicely in to the center of the CD. The other day I managed to acquire a dead bonsai tree that I had been planning to turn in to a moss tree, although I think it might be a little too big.
Has anyone got any tiny bits of stone that could help turn this in to something beautiful, or any advice on what you think could work when it comes to such a tiny scape?
