looking good. love the rock. where did you get it?

 

thanks the rocks on the right hand side, I took a drive towards harties, about 15 or 20 kms into malibongue on the the left side is a huge rock area. was looking for pelindaba, not sure if this falls under that but ja.. there for the picking. some of the bigger ones needed a bit of work to get out.

 

CO2 canister i scored for a 1000 bux from an ex member

 

Looking good! I think you have closer to 900l!

 

Apologies, I rechecked my sizes from an old thread and they are slightly smaller.

size : 2000 X 500 X700

with curved corners

 

looking good man

 

thanks still a lot of planting to go in there. I want to try and cover most the gravel. but that will take a bit of time.

 

any suggestions on low medium teck plants that can be used as ground cover?

 

my first set of plants mostly, melted as a result of incorrect lighting, this batch seams to be much happier. still a lot of work to be done. excuse the heaters.. they will be mounted soon.

 

Damn nice..... wish the wife would let me have something like this in the house. :banghead:

 

lol its all about timing @Wazi pick the right day for it and when you get approval make sure you close the deal very quick and get it installed. then there is no going back..
