Good! Got the plants the other day. Would have posted pictures but have had no Internet. Will post some a little later.

Got the plants Thursday.



Substrate is 1cm of potting soil.



.5cm of kitty litter.



Capped with 1cm PFS.

Plants in and a lovely shot of my crappy kitchen.











Riccia stones.

The plant in the front corners is a marginal plant. It's being replaced with b. japonica later this week.

And I painted a background on some cardboard. It's blue. Darker on the bottom than the top.

Very nice!

Looks great! I do the same thing sometimes gotta love a free background! LoL

Just wondering, is it possible to do embers in this size tank?

Yes you could have like 1

Wow, okay thank you.

Thanks for the nice comments Ayi, IMO 3-4 would be ok in a tank of these dimensions. I wouldn't put any in a normal shaped 10L tank though.

Wow your tank looks great btw!

I was asking because I think they would look very nice with the shrimp that will be in this tank.

I agree. I have 8 in another tank and its tempting to add a few for a while. I have been looking at chilli endlers or chilli rasboras. Surprisingly there are a lot off stock options!

If you already have them I would go with the endlers. I didn't think that fish would be comfortable in a tank this small!

Oh my my god it is looking amazing

I just want to stare at your tank it is so beautiful. Wow, how gorgeous!!!



Your projects are an inspiration! That wood combo is perfect in there!!!

Please keep posting pics so I can see it often !!!

That is shaping up quite well! Can't wait to see it once its really established.

Just had to say your tank looks amazing! I'm in the process of setting up a 20g long and impatience is getting the best of me, so I come here to drool over everyone else's projects to keep me from going insane.
