Hi Guys...newbie of sorts but have been enjoying the forum threads of the guru's amongst us and learning bucket loads, which is what this fine forum is about.
I have had some success in tropical fish keeping and have had a nano cube tank in my living room for the last 6 months. Limited space and being a dad to Mia aged 3 limits my time, but I enjoy the hobby tremendously and wanted to create a planted aqauscape ( hopefully looking like a flow of a river with tree stumps and loose strata, planted low tech) for shrimp only. Lame excuse for wanting and buying a 2nd tank really ......
Whilst perusing the wife's whiteboard for tasks still to do within the house I decided (no re-phrase that the wife decided) that the living room required a new paint job and the current nano was de-comissioned off the sideboard, fish and CRS (grade a's) sold to the LFS. Empty tank now sits in the back bedroom awaiting my thought process on which way to go....The wife's thought process being Dulux paint charts, rollers and flexible friend at the ready. My thought process being - Do I go bogwood, slate, black fine gravel or paddle stone hardscape, fine sand / Maui fine gravel........
Fauna being the other question - decent grade CRS or a Sulawesi shrimp setup ?
Well the process continues with the living room now having a feature wall with Cranberry and the remaining walls Egyption Cotton and new Laura A lamp shades. The Nano - having the back painted black, gravel purchased, plants ordered and mosses attached to the bogwood of choice.

I will hopefully setup and plant out over the next few days and will provide an equipment list, plant list and pics once I suss out how to attach photo's to a journal.
Thx for reading....
