That's not an attempt, that's a success.

Would really like to do a tank like this next, looks mint. What plants do you have in there mate?
Cheers,
Mainly long narrow-leaf java fern and Taiwan moss
Anubias petite, trident fern and Java fern 'mini' around the base, also some hydrocotyle tripartita
Crypts legroi, beckettii, amicorum & miya oya
Plus more recently experimenting with various foreground plants and stems to sides and rear but I'm not sure which will be staying yet.
Also the salvinia natans was added the day this picture was taken, not sure how it will fare under the lights in a lidded tank!

I can only repeat what has already been said. Great scape for your first go and nice to see a lido getting the full works on it. Lovely
I'm honoured by all the kind comments, thank you!
Lighting is standard T8's with reflectors, plus backlighting.
This tank is somewhat over the 1 year mark now and has fulfilled the vision that I originally intended for it...
Although I have had some problems with BBA since last June and I lost all the moss because of it. That's simply down to fluctuating CO2 from the yeast-based system... I was warned it would give me problems, and it did! 🙂
