Default "Sandan" aka 3 Stepping Stones Planted Tank

My 2nd attempt at aquascaping using a 2'x1.5'x1.5' spare tank. Decided to go for a japanese rock garden theme to be different from the 1st attempt. Took me 3 days to finish n now waiting for grass to grow so that i can do trimming... ha

Step 1 - Laying sand n arranging rocks


Top View


Step 2 - Laying soil over sand


Step 3 - Putting in hair grass n plants n fill up water

Unlikely... think he tio short becos like everybody else he realised a fish... any fish... platy or mosquitoe fish... can be so much more beautiful in a planted tank... no need asthaxantin... no need black base white base oyama... any fish will shine to its fullest potential... like how u would find fish in their natural habitats.

Nb... buy sand start. Ha....
