hi aaron,
have you tested/tried your sunsun yet.

yep, got it in now to prevent stagnation. Works a treat
Thanks .

no worries Nick, i knew it wasnt snappy

10l of JBL in, i have made an island shape with it so that you cannot see the 2 substrate lines at the front of the glass - much neater

then i added the ADA Malaya, sloping towards the rear to create depth.

wood arrangment begins....

and the finished product

overall i am happy with it

with the wood as it is I'm intrigued to see what you have in mind with the planting.

cant wait mate

i thought you might say that I decided against the more common theme of having a sculpture? like yourself had in the Miracle Mire, and it all pointing one way like my last tank and George did it in the crypt only tank as a better example. I shall still be having crypts, grasses & ferns in, but just trying a different approach regarding hardscape positioning..

similar to Williams tank

Thanks everyone.

Ok, here is what i think my final plant list is going to be, with a bit of help from Mark
from aquafleur:

6 x C.Balansae
5 x C.Wendtii
5 x C.Beckettii
5 x C.Parva
10 x E.Tenellus

I shall be taking in a list tommorow, then hopefully hey will be ordered Sunday, to be delivered next Wednesday!

Also to go on is
M.Pteropus "narrow"
Staurogyne sp.
Anubias var.Barteri Nana

The last few are tropica, but i cant say on numbers as i am hopefully awaiting an answer on this thread Here

I might add some moss if anyone has some going spare too

Thanks.
