Path to Oblivion

[The_Iceman]

Ahoi UKAPS,

welcome to my new nano-tank journal!
I hope you will enjoy the wild ride

It's still very early, but that's the current idea I'm tinkering around with, called "Path to Oblivion".



The tank is in the making at the moment, therefore I had to use cat litter and a box for the layout
No idea which plants I'm going to use, but they need to be small.

Cheers,
Christian

How big/small is the tank? The rock work is so good it's difficult to get a sense of perspective...

 

[The_Iceman]

Hi Troi,

this will be a 13l tank.
40cmx18cmx18cm

This is looking great already, it looks like a huge tank...can't believe it's only 40cm.

Did you try placing those two big rocks closer to the front? If you want depth (and who doesn't?) things should slope up and get smaller the further back you go. The slope is there, but the height of the big rocks at the back throws me off a bit.

 

[The_Iceman]

Cheers guys!

I'm still adjusting it and changing the rocks here and there, but I will try what you suggested Dantrasy.
I wanted to make this little guy look huge and big and a little bit more depth would be great. Thanks!

I was sure your nano is 90cm. Wow. Great illusion.

 

[Bacms]

Yes great scale illusion I really really like it

 

[The_Iceman]

Hi guys,

finally the tank arrived yesterday!
Very happy! Now I can start with the layout



Cheers,
Chris

Good morning everyone,

phew... sometimes it feels more like Tetris in such a small tank

But getting there, getting there:


This time I'm using Seachem Flourite Black Sand for a review I'm going to write, but one thing I can tell you:
Massive substrate arrangements... forget it

Will take care of the left side of the tank today... and then start thinking about the plants

Cheers
Chris

Ahoi UKAPS,

finally starting my 120P *cough* *cough* dry now:



Still have to add Elatine H. and Plagiomnium cf. affine to the mix to finish it.

The plant list so far:
HCC, Elatine H., Riccardia, Eleocharis Mini, Gratiola viscidula, Plagiomnium cf. affine

Substrate is Seachem Flourite Black Sand and ADA LaPlata

Most likely I'm going to add a small mini Buce here and there, but let's wait and see!


Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris, How do you do it another stunner

 

[Robert H. Tavera]

Lovely Huge Tank! *cough* *cough*.

 

[Dantrasy]

I hope I can get my 4ft looking that good
