my 2ft planted :D
hi guys.. has been doing homework before setting up a 2ft HC tank.
today. went to NA and buy some items for my 2ft tank heres the specs (For Now) : 2x1x1.3 (LxBxH) ADA Amazonia(9l) 2x 36watt PL lighting (from NA) eheim 2213 canister filter using 2 fan to lower down tempertature.. flora having spiky,real xmas, zhen zhu moss and US fissiden fauna having 10+/- platys to cycle tank the above tank specs is only for a 1 - 2mths after i get my co2 tank + regulator solenoid which is mostly 2 mths later.. i will get my HC and rocks... today. its the first day i start my 2ft tank. i was expecting cloudness caused by the ADA soil but i was shocked by the result after the tank was carefully filled with water. i placed a acryllic board on top of the ada. heres some picture just taken 1 minute after refilling of water. you guys think i should get another wood and tie US fissiden on the wood and place it on the right corner of the tank.. and den plant HC over the bare area? or should i sell away my wood,fissiden and moss in the picture and go for a Zen style having just rocks and HC? im trapped between this 2 options anyway, thanks alot for reading |

Hi, maybe u can consider Amano zen style, using beehive rocks and japanese hairgrass.
Cheers for your new setup! |

Shift the wood on left more to the right side such that it is resting on 1/3 of the length of the tank from the left (i.e. 20 cm from left).
May want consider some tall plants behind the wood, e.g. Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae. May want consider some mid ground plants as well such as Gu Jing or Blyxa japonica. I leave it to u to decide on the foreground. |

You can do your zen with current plants as well.
Here is some of my recommendation for zen. Sorry for the lousy drawing. Option 1 Option 2 James |

It wouldn't be wierd. Eventually, your driftwood is covered with moss, but for rock wise, you have to leave some black place to show its tip beauty. Zen is much more stress on the beauty of balance. Hope to see your tanks soon... James |
