1.5ft tank
 

I have done a planted tank many years back but picking up the hobby only now where i have a little more spare time. This round, i decided to not include any soil as base. The last round when cleaning out the tank was really a nightmare especially when the soil break down...

Without soil base, guess i can only keep it low tech...

I had quite a fair bit of gravels and stones left over from my tanga setup..so making use of them, i decided to do a simple rock scape tank

Most of the items are left over from my main cichlid tank...the under gravel filter was kept in my storeroom for a long period, so decided to bring it to proper use..
Was hoping to conceal it with either plants of bigger rocks...

For a start, i choose mini nana and moss for the tank

Sorry, i'm curious. Is the asymmetrical rock types intentional? Seems too varied to look natural.

The initial setup as at day 3, no fishes or shrimps at the moment...still thinking of how to bring out the plants and rocks...i had a few larger rocks...probably will try it over the weekend to get it in place.

These are my left over from the tanga tank...if im not wrong..they are ada stones...think the smaller size ones that i bought many years back

I have some question here..do ppl dose fertilisers and excel for tank like this?

Sorry, no offence. Your moss looks great, so does the gravel. I just feel that using a single rock type for the rest of the rockscape would make all 3 (moss, gravel and rockscape) stand out more individually and as a whole. Personal opinions only. :p

Depends on your flora, I guess, generally if it's low requirement plants, then usually no. I don't dose ferts for my outdoor moss tank.

I welcome comments...problem is, these are the mini rocks that i have...what are some of the single rock type that i can find?
Or do u mean i should just include 1 big rock?

I'm no good with rock-type names though. I would think some medium height rocks with a few smaller pieces of the same rock type to accentuate the hardscape would look great, preferably of a different colour from the gravel.
