Rocks in a 1 foot

found some awesome rocks at LFS this morning decided to play around with my 1 foot.

this is wat i came up with. interested to hear comments/suggestions

 

Stunning ..

 

thank you have a guppy in there at the momment but was thinking a few neons in a school will look awesome

 

The rock placement looks good.:top:
Maybe get a black or white background.
Good luck with the LED light(I am currently also trying my hand at a 1 foot nano LED tank)

 

Looks awesome, is that a dragon-stone?

 

thanx @DewaldC

that will probably give it a more classy look. will try the black background

not too sure how the plants will perform with LED but ive gone for very low tech plants (valis and ambulia and a bit of java moss and fern in the front..) will post update

\
post us some pics when up and running

 

thats the one. found it hidden under all the shelves at LFS today.. just too everything. was R35 a kg.. i thought very failry priced for such awesome rock

 

Only if it succeeds.:bigsmile:

What will you be adding for fertilization?.

 

at the momment just excel.. open to advice on that

 

lol you gotta share blunders as well

 

Is a source of bioavailable organic carbon.

I would suggest also adding flourish comprehensive.( It contains a rich assortment of important micro elements, trace elements and other nutrients.)
Because the plants you have selected get their nutrients from the water.

 

i was under the impression it was a fert with added CO2.. as per the LFS guy.. thanx so would i use both comprehensive and excel together?

 

Yes,excel makes your plants grow faster.

 

cool thanx. will do.

 

Here's is a link that explains it well -- http://www.sudeepmandal.com/hobbies/planted-aquarium/guide-low-tech-excel-planted-tank/

 

Looking good, think the rock is "dragon rock" imported by aquarium depot (I stand to be corrected on both factoids) ..see Twitter / _AquariumDepot: We also received T5 LED ...

easy on the fertz if this a new tank .. plants and filtration typically need to adjust before they can consume all the available nutrients, take it slow no need to rush.

I am keen to hear how the LED does in a few weeks

 

does make sense, i have a ;ong way to go with plants.. but will get there

will definetly keep updating

 

that is the name, not sure about the imported part

 

35 rand per kilo is a great price nice find. Nice little tank

 

@Ammar How many kg is in the tank?.
