I've had a spare 60l tank sat in the back garden slowly turning quite mingin.
Today i gave it a clean and started experimenting with some rock and a big root I've had lying around outside.
My idea is to have it about a third filled with water. The back left corner behind the rock will be filled with substrate to water level and I'll have emerged growth of some kind, moss, maybe buce, hc japan, crypts, Mc, rannunculus. probably start with what i have in the house already.
Submersed there'll be java fern, Anubis, bolbitis - all from a tank ill decommission.
It'll house a couple of dwarf puffers i have in the tank above. The tank will have a cover.
The root was a local find, not sure exactly what it is. But only a bit is actually in the water. Stone is local. The moss on the wood is taken from a dead ash tree we felled for firewood.
I'd welcome your thoughts on the plan and the hardscape.
Thanks
