Hardscape arrangement


A sloping substrate with 3 inch at the highest point and 1 inch at the lowest point. It takes 6 packets of 9kg ADA to create this sloping effect.

Add in another matching BW buried both BWs partially to make them look like a single piece.



The plants i'm planning to have in my tank.

Hemianthus callitrichoides = moderate and medium light requirement

Microsorum pteropus v. 'narrow leaf' = easy and medium low light requirement

Glossostigma elatinoides = moderate and high light requirement

Bolbitis heudelotti = easy and low light requirement

Anubias barteri v. 'nana' = very easy and low light requirement

Pogostemon helferi = moderate and medium high light requirement

Cryptocoryne wendtii = very easy and low light requirement

This is to help me in deciding on the amount of lightings i will want to have in this tank. With high light requirement plant like glossostigma i need to go for high lightings. 2 x T5HO lights which is a total of 440 watt. This adds up to approx 4WPG.
