My Tropiquarium 88:

My first attempt at a planted tank. DIY CO2 reator, 2x18w lights, sand substrate.

I got sick of cutting back the eustralis so I took it out. I also removed the posmogon and styrogyne as it was getting a bit leggy. The planting was a bit dense for a healthy water flow. I bought quite a nice bit of drift wood which I've tied lots of fissidens and needle leaf java ferns to.

Your first attempt at a planted tank could easily pass for your umpteenth aquascaped tank. Awesome!! Way go go! I love it.
PS: Where did to get the fissidens from? I'm blown away ☺
 
Hi Dude well done on your first scape it looks good:) if your planing another one this is the site to be on you will get all the help you need on here:)
 
I'm selling a mature mesh of Fissidens F on ebay at the mo. No bids yet so let me know if you want it as after bidding starts there's no stopping...I'm looking for £10 posted payment by paypal(gift)
 
Above all I think the really healthy plants show what patience with a low tech setup can do
 
Got rid of the balansae crypts on the right hand side to let a bit more light in. Seriously debating getting a hydor external heater.
