Ok I did it. I spent a couple of hours clearing out my tank - currently it has 3 bits of slate and some 'pellia', but all of the plants are sat in a bucket.
The problem I have with this tank is that it is disproportionately deep, or appears so to me. It is approx 100cm wide and 67cm tall IIRC (and fyi is approx 40cm wide)
Has anybody got any planting or aquascaping tips for dealing with a tank like this? My idea would be to have some long bits of wood which bridge the distance between the substrate and the surface, but I've haven't found any wood that I've been satisfied with so far.
For info, current plants are c.wendtii (lots apparently!!!), two types of hygro stricta (one variety does grow to the surface), 'pellia', ammania gracilis, nymphaea stellata bulb, vallis spiralis, an unknown very large anubias (same sort of size as the wendtii).
Any ideas folks?
PS Please be gentle - I'm not an experienced aquascaper
Thanks in advance
