I am happy to return some of the inspiration the community has given me.

Well the project is sort of already under way, i had stuff laying around from when i was going to make a background earlier for my 6x2.5x2.5 but that never came about.

So the tank is 36gal, i got a bunch of styrofoam, watercrete concrete, colour pigments (black, brown), silicone and expandafoam.

Also got an internal filter, and a pump where i can adjust flow so i don't even need to mess around with too much in terms of adjustment.

All i really need now is to get some piping for the pump system =].

Thanks for the reply and information.

Cheers Mark~

All right. Sounds interesting. A 36 should make a good tank for one of the smaller species.
Looking forward to seeing your approach on mudsie scaping!

Thank you, Fat Homer!

A short story of how sometimes you don't want to trash plants that look bad.

Here are my Samolus valeradis when I bought them:

Here's what they looked like a few weeks after planting:

Initially, they went worse and lost all leafs. At that time I buried the roots onto a pool.

In a month, this happened:

Kept going:

...and going

Made a gazillion pups from seeds:

And now we're here:

I think I might need to harvest some of that...
