Congrats on finishing. If your like me you will tweak it alot over the coming weeks. I really like the layout and plant selection. Honestly have no critiques. But was wondering what kind of fish you have. My phone isnt picking up the details enough to tell

Nice! Looks like you're Water Sprite is beginning its takeover... I had two in my 29g, removed one after 3 months, cause it was growing outta control and sprouted off atleast eight 8"+ plantets... the other one is a bit more "tame". Now I just have the other sitting in a 5g bucket, cause I cant bring myself to trash it

 

[Hulka9]

Yeah its growing quick! I've already trimmed a bit and threw it in my 10G

Could you post pic from a higher angle? It looks like you have a "river" on the right side. Like i said in my first post, great work. There are typically a few things i can spot to improve a layout. But so far i cant see anything i would change

 

[Hulka9]

Of course! Ido have a sand river going under the log. Ill take another shot tonight.

Here ya go

You should sell it! Post it in classifieds section, shipping plants is so easy. Bet it goes like a hot-cake

Also OP, I'm loving the look of the tank. Will some of those plants grow higher to fill out the top eventually?

 

[Hulka9]

Once the water sprite grows a bit more I'll definitely try selling it.

Thanks! Thats the plan! All the plants in the back row from left to right should grow to the top making a nice background. The empty spot on the left behind the rock rock bothers me. I have a plant there but it isnt taller than the rock yet. I not a very patient person ?

Im really looking forward to when the Staurogyne repens grows enough to carpet the bottom. from what I've been told its a slow grower though.

 

[venymae]

Awesome, can't wait to see pics when it grows in!

You're an inspirational boyfriend and I'm so glad we've invested the time and money into creating beautiful aquascapes for the apartment.. What started out as a single 10 gallon tank has manifested into 3 magnificent tanks. . Love you're layout and look forward to you're next post of plant progression.

Hi hulka that is an ace aquascape. And a beautiful setup.

I think it would look better without the red rock though.

Good job!

Tallest light green plant on the center. Its reaching the surface in the earlier pics I took.

 

[MonkeyMonk86]

Beautiful!!! Really like the driftwood, rocks and river! Stunning!!!

 

[Hulka9]

Thanks! ?

Alright its been about a month and its time for an updated picture. A lot has changed. I added a lot of new plants and removed the red rock on the left. I realized it took up a lot of space I could be using for plants

Also, I know this tank is too small for an oscar. He is only two inches right now and I have a 125 gallon I will be putting him in so don't hate!
