The idea is to have all native tank (Aussie natives). It'll be a 2 species tank. about 40 threadfin rainbows + local glass shrimps to do the cleanup duty.

here's a photo of how I have placed the driftwood: tank photo

Here's a photo of the layout. It's not drawn to scale. The plants will be planted to accommodate curvature of the driftwood. layout

foreground:
Elatine gratioloides "Waterwort"

mid-ground:
Lilaeopsis brisbanica "Brisbane River Grasswort"
Limnophila fragrans
Pogostemon stellatus "Pogo"
Staurogyne leptocaulis

background:
Hygrophila angustifolia "Willow Hygro"
Myriophyllum muricatum "Berry Creek Milfoil" another photo
Vallisneria nana "Native Val"

The driftwood would get fern/moss treatment. Though finding a native variety is almost impossible unless I travel to the northern part of the country

Thans for the help :)
 
turn the driftwood on the left 180 degrees, and stand it up a little with the substrate/rocks.

other than that, the plan seems good :thumbup:
