Congrats on all the new stuff.. Just love unboxings...it's like Xmas all over again! I think the shrimp stratum should be a good idea or even that UP Aqua Soil on GLA's site.

So what are you planning on for plants?
Well I want something smaller sized and more appealing...the stratum seems to be a good choice since I plan to add some shrimp If I don't get a betta first...I was going to put in some AS Amazonia Powder type but y'all are right it's just too expensive for something I can get for 75% cheaper...so what type of rocks would look good? Gosh I can't decide...where did you get your rocks from? And me neither bevoholic, it's so exciting
Fluval Shrimp Stratum is my vote then...
As for the stones, i was lucky enough that one of the many LFS by me just so happens to specialize in planted tanks so i was able to select the yamaya stone in-person. If you don't have a local spot, i look at it this way.. You got two options.. You can either order extra stones online from places that sell ADA tanks like ADGShop or adana-usa.com.. Problem is, you'd probably have to order extra because you won't know what pieces you'll get and what would work in your scape. Unless you're willing to chance getting the right pieces. OR, you can order from Ebay where some Sellers post pics of the actual stones you'll be getting (WYSIWYG). Unless you want a very specific stone like Ohko stones, check out Ebay. There's a seller on there sea77777779 that sells some petty decent looking stones.
This one looks good i think....

Wow... didn't think you'd get that one and you'd browse around some... but I thought that was a pretty nice set of stones for Iwagumi (or whatever you'll be doing). I started my as Iwagumi and it went on it's own "nature" scape path I guess...LOL
I think any sand should do... pool filter, play sand, or even caribsea super naturals.
BTW... what DW are you getting?
Hey Dan are you on TPT too? There's a couple threads on there with the GLA 36-L that you might want to follow just to get more inspiration.

I don't blame you "some" of the folks on TPT can be tad jaded. I find AA to be a more calm non-judgmental community. Both have their perks.
Well glad to hear things are coming along for you. I can sense a strong disturbance in the force...some major anticipation building! Haha... The question is will you have the patience for DSM? I didn't!
Nice... That DW will make an interesting tree. What type of moss are you going to use?
As for pics being sideways.. Just take the pics in landscape (horizontal) to avoid them uploading like that... Lol
