It's not, lol! Hit a brick wall with university stuff so I've been concentrating on that. Changed the plan quite a lot since I last posted. Instead of using a large bit of wood (which is proving hard to find), I'm going to use a stone/wood mounted piece of java fern. I'm going to pad one side...

Yeah, but I'm impatient and want them NOW, lol. Don't really have time to wander around the local park looking for flat stones. It's not the look that I care about, just that they are relatively small and flat. Will keep an eye open, though. To make sure they are safe, is it enough to do...

That's exactly what I want! Just need to find somewhere that will deliver now, lol.

Thanks =) I'll be using liquid carbon as I can't afford a pressureized system. Would this be OK to add at the same time as the ferts, or should I start the carbon earlier? I've got quite a specific plan in mind now, but I have a second "jungle" tank that will be my plant farm, experiment tank...

Just thought - would some HC to cover the substrate make the whole thing too cluttered with the moss as well? Should I leave the substrate bare? Not planning to buy new substrate if I can avoid it (maybe with the exception of some nutrient rich substrate under the existing gravel). Would look...

That's a great idea! Never thought to cover the caves as well, lol. Got a couple of bits of wood and stone already prepped with your moss. Looking great and should grow out nicely. I can use cuttings from that for the extra stones and stump and use the wood as roots for the stump. Will try...

I'd love to, but I can't get there. I need something I can order online. My lfs doesn't really have anything suitable.

Trying to find some small, flat, inexpensive pebbles to coat with moss. Almost everything I can find is either very decorative or too large or jagged. Any ideas for what kind of stone I should be looking for and where I can get it from?

Found this - http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/9/9/7/5/ ... 5218_o.jpg Very similar to what I want to do! Maybe bring the whole thing forwards and add some background plants. Plant some java fern around the "roots" of the tree. I don't really want background plants but as I've decided to keep...

Fancy meeting you here, he he. I totally agree with your ideas. What I thought about doing was having a "tree stump" off to the right a bit and covering it with moss, then planing around the stump with some smaller plants. Then plant up the back really heavily and bring everyone around in a...

I'm currently planning a scape for my mess of a planted tank. It's only small - 65 litres - and more square than long. It's just a standard tank - black silicone, plastic lid, etc. Nothing fancy or particularly attractive. I want the main focus for the scape to be "tree stump". I want the...

Hello all! I'm Assaye, a 21 year old student who is currently studying philosophy at the University of York. I only got into fishkeeping in June but I think I've learned quite a lot! I now have a part-time job at a local aquatics centre - fishkeeping really has become a major obsession! I...

Thanks for the reply. I know the cause of the algae - it's just a matter of sorting it out now. I've tried less light but my plants didn't appreciate it. CO2 I'm trying to sort but the fermentation kit is all over the place so I'm going for liquid carbon. Instead of less light, I figure more...

**Total planted tank newbie alert** This is my main community tank. I want to run it as a "mid tech" planted tank so I can get everything growing really nicely and in a controlled manner and be able to support more varied plant life. Once I have all the techy stuff sorted (or at least...
