My 30l planted with custom background

So here it is, still a work in progress. I'm picking up some more plants tomorrow so updates will follow shortly. Oh and i will be putting up a thread showing the making of the background.

 

Love the backgound sailing derrick. Eagerly await your thread

 

cool background and thats a nice betta too

 

Nice looking Halfmoon meneer

On the plants, the front-right plants look like Anubias Barteri var.nana. Don't plant them....they will rot and die. Anubias must be tied to a piece of wood or a rock in order to survive and grow. They are very tough plants and can survive in lots of different environments, but as soon as you stick the rhizome in the substrate, they start to die.

Nice little CO2 you got there....I recently put the same thing into one of my tanks.

Am I seeing mondo grass in the tank or is that pigmy?

 

what type co2 is that

 

Tetra's CO2 Optimizer. Costs R 145 for the diffuser + cannister. Refill cannister costs approx R 50. Very simple to use

 

Here is the background. http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?t=559

 

I was looking at that and the nuetrifin one which comes with the ladder.

 

Looks good - love that background.

 

Nice tank

This looks really nice. Going to try it.

 

Thanx all, here is an update.

Thanx Dale for all the cuttings...

 

Looks stunning mate!

You're welcome, I'll shout once I prune plants again....ppl must just come and collect

Cheers
Dale

 

Very cool, gives me ideas to upgrade my beta's baby plastic tank to a bigger better one and use it as a planting experiment.

 

what type of mesh of sorts lurking in your substrate? please advise ande explain

 

The mesh is holding spiky moss to pieces of slate. The moss will eventualy grow thru the mesh and for what will look like a lawn.

 

any updates on the tank. I woold like to see what the moss lawn looks like

 

nag nag nag nag?
Any updates on this tank?
Looks excellent

 

Hi sailing_derrick,How do you get the cement to stick on the polystyrene?
Do you use pure cement or do you add any additives?
