Tomorrow I am going to buy the hard scape material for my next aquascape it’s a medium sized tank with dimensions 24 x 18 x 18 inches.
The hardscape will be 2 land masses on both sides of the tank. In the foreground, there will be a river that will keep narrowing down as it passes between these land masses. Something similar to what you see in this video
But I don’t have that bonsai so I will try to create something like this using rocks and spider wood. When it comes to planting the hard scape it’s always going to be Anubias, Java fern, trident fern and Bucephalendra though Bucephelandra I will not use until the tank matures.
Coming to foreground and background plants I want to cover the entire land masses with grasses and maybe use some sort of giant hair grass on the background I need suggestion on giant hair grass. If possible dwarf Amazon sword which might match with giant hair grass.
For the foreground, I was thinking of going for Glossostigma and dwarf hair grass.
This time, I decided to try the Dry Start Method to see if it would work with these grasses. I have always had a hard time with grasses in a newly set-up tank.
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated
