Not at all

Foreground is Eleocharis mini which I used as I like the grass effect but didn't want anything too big.

I added some cryptocoryne green by the rocks as I think adds some interest.

On the flat rocks I have put some flame moss mainly as I like how it grows upwards and was also recommended by the green machine.

I added some pogostemon erechus in front of the main stone with alternanthera renecki in front of this as I wanted some colour contrast.

Back corners are Vallisneria Tiger just to frame the stones.

So that is my thought process for the plants comments welcome.

Fish and shrimp I haven't decided I like apisto's but don't think they will work I'm probably going to wait until plants are grown in a bit.

Thanks for the detailed list. I really like your tank setup. I might get some similar plants... looking forward to reading about how you get on with them. Cheers TD

Thanks TD, I knew next to nothing on plants so reading through the journals has been a great help.

So its been a couple of weeks and have been adjusting the co2 levels and testing ph etc

Flame moss is growing nicely, it went nuts today after big water change

Grass is also growing nicely and filling starting to fill can see some good roots, I still need to get some backing paper the wallpaper behind does it no favours..I'm also happy with the growth if the alternanthera especially as im still fiddling with CO2 a bit.

Really like the rock layout, looks very natural and flows well
It's a shame the central rock is in the dark, I'm sure the photo does it no justice
