I wanted to make journal initially but was too lazy to start it in time 
So starting it now in retrospective
So around last xmass I got 55l leaking tank from my friend who gave up aquariums. Fixed it with silicon and decided to try some aquascaping. My gf wanted it to have some Stonehenge in it, I wanted to have just some rocks. After some debates we found a compromise to put small Stonehenge on one of the rocks Also I wanted to try dry start method in it.
So in the beginning of January I did initial hardscape and planting:
Got some Hemianthus callitrichoides from other tank where it did not do too well:
[DOUBLEPOST=1398692314][/DOUBLEPOST]Then in beginning of Feb equipment arrived mounted:
Arcadia lights 2x24W mounted to the old tank top,
JBL CristalProfi e 401 filter,
DIY CO2 system based on citric acid and baking soda.
As you can see DSM did not do good results in all places. Some plants melted, some were ok...
