Here is my tanks, these tanks were my first attempt at aquascaping. They are not the best and I have since learned a lot about planted tanks since. I have shut them them down and and the plants have all moved on. I currently have just one planted tank which is not yet ready for pics (waiting on more plants) but I will post it here for you guys to look at.

1st try. Just a tank with plants in it.


Same tank just re-scaped after learning a bit.

1st attempt was really nice, didn't have to mess with it. I think it is difficult to create shape in a tank with plants alone which is what you did. Normally you have to add decor as a centre piece to create the shapes in the tank.


I can see the re-scape will look nice when whatever is meshed down grows through. What is it?

It does look like a proper little aquascaped garden scene. Very nice : )

The stuff which is tied down is java moss on a large bit of slate. Over time it starts to grow up and with regular trimming it created a lawn. A lot easier to grow than some of the carpeting plants out there.
