You mosses look amazing. What type of mosses are they?

Great hardscape, and the moss at the base does a great contrast.. really good.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm stress testing
Thanks mate.
It's weeping moss from my 90cm. I thought i'd best put it to good use.
Thanks mate. The foreground is probably the strongest part. I just hope the rear planting will live up to it.
I'm am tempted. Though the planting will be quite 'light' and shouldn't smother the scape' as a whole.
This time tomorrow should seethe scape fully planted.

Lovin the rock work...looks like a natural formation, and the moss will soon appear like it has been there for years.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm stress testing
and how awesome was the opening ceremony?.....brilliant.
Thanks mate. I've kept the plants quite simple as to not overpower the stone arrangement.
I've planted it and now filling. The hill type effect to the right, is just how I wanted it. Wasn't too sure if it'd look OK
More pics later.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm stress testing
I now need to finish off with a few more moss stones, to fill in the gaps, set up the second filter with co2 and were about done.
Here's a couple after filling is complete.

very nice...nice placement of stems as well, that will do just nicely. Very natural, can't wait to see it. Will be good to see a large shoal in there.

Cheers chaps
It's my fave of all my hardscapes.
With 2 filters now running, water is spotless. I'm wondering if because i'm using old soil it's helped in keeping water clearer.
What with being able to move the tank for pictures, I'm really excited about photos of the finished scape. no back breaking manoeuvres

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm planted with pics
It's significantly clearer than previous setups on day 1. I'm sure the fact I've used re-used aquasoil may have something to do with it.
It's gotten clearer as the day has gone on....I don't look too happy in this photo.

Your intricate graded gravels are now hidden Mark!!!
...and do you keep your ferts on the radiator permanently, ive seen it a few times in your photos, or is it just coincidence? If not is there a reason for it?
Love the little hill to the right, this tank has a feeling of a coastal landscape, yet with the wood still and aquarium too.
