jcardona1's Aqua Forest: The Beginning

[oOMO3NOo]

looks really good should work great but one thing to watch out for im sure you have heard this before but thought i would mention the plants up on the "hill" will dry out faster then in the "valley" so be sure you pay closer attention to the dampness of the ones up higher. but should fill in really nice once the hc takes hold.....that could take a little few days but seems like everthing is done right. once that happens you should notice huge growth good luck keep up on updated pictures weekly. i would like to see a good timeline of the tank take shape.

Agreed, pick a few spots and get close ups and update them weekly, should get a pretty good idea of growth rate doing that

yeah ill be taking pics about every week or so. and yeah im hoping i can keep the HC that is on higher ground alive w/o it drying out. hopefully i can keep it all moist enough.

no worries though, if the HC thats up higher dies ill just plant a little more right before i fill the tank up with water. as long as i start to get a carpet somewhere in the tank, ill be happy!!!

 

[Frostyone]

What other plants are you thinking about adding once the carpet is established and tank is full?

 

[jcardona1]

just some blyxa japonica in the background. what you think?

I think that'll look great, maybe a Pogostemon helferi or two also

I tried asking around locally for that .... and no one had a clue what i was talking about....I guess the only way to get it is online....
