Once u see a post by me you'll know what I wanna say: Get a lot more plants
Anyway, your foreground is really too sparse.. if you intend to use riccia to fill it up I guess it's pretty nice, but I've always had this thing against floating riccia balls. It just seems a little too unnatural Anyway it's good to see the rough backbone of your scape, maybe you can hide the heater behind the wall of vallis when things are beginning to pick up and your final choice of scape is decided. Keep us updated. |

For the foreground plants.. you can use E. Tennellus, they can do well without much base fert.
Otherwise, you can consider non-rooting plants. Plants like riccia or moss on SS meshes do pretty well. An aquascaper by the name of Nobert Sabat used christmas moss as a foreground plant to extremely beautiful effects. He didn't cover the whole foreground, for the matter. |
