Re: NeilW's 30cm nano - "Mono"
Decided to go for it and scape my tank today 😀. Went down to the garden centre and got hold of some osmocote (although I could only find the 6 month release). So heres the setup. Sorry its a bit image heavy
Bags of goodies
I took an age sieving the Flora Base into finer and larger grains but definitely worth it for a nano
One tidy silicon Aqua Essentials 12 x 10 x 8" opti-white
Critical stone positioning. In the end I was very limited in where I could place it without completely killing flow and was also stuck with having lilypipes to the right.
I decided I needed a 'beach' area in this tank as it makes it a lot easier to feed the shrimp
Making use of graded gravels to 'plug' any gaps below the soil surface. Was also very careful to position rocks in such a way as to create a proper barrier. Hopefully this will be OK, hard lessons learnt there 🙁
Sprinkling of Osmocote
Larger grains of Flora Base added
Topped with finer 'powder'
Detailing added
Final hardscaping
When I plant it up it will also have some larger moss covered gravels around the base of the big stone.
Always good showing you guys stuff, any comments always welcome 🙂
Cheers
-Neil
