This is currently where I have got too
I haven't done the carpet plants for two reasons. One is that I just ran out of time to then get the aquarium filled up overnight and second is that I want to get the CO2 and Ferts sorted as well. This will hopefully be done by Tuesday all going well.
Got to see how it grows out then. Once that is done I will make tweaks to it. Of course views and opinions welcome but I probably wont do much until first melt etc and getting the generic shapes of the plants growing in as some are more mature than others which makes the scale look out in places.
Would say I have managed to place all the anubias etc without any glue or string just by making sure I use gaps in the wood and rock. The superglue arrived today though so can do the moss later but again may wait to do with carpet plants on Tuesday/Wednesday.
Last comment would be I would not recommend the Hortilab tissue culture for stem plants. All of mine keeps lifting even with just the Eheim spray bar going at 50% as there just is no route system at all. It should be fine for the carpet plants but the way the stem plants were grown it meant that I only had about 10 out of the 50 odd in the pots actually any good and ended up with the rest going in the bin which is like £20 worth
