This is a trial run at a hardscape for a 29-gallon, forest-themed, planted tank. It's my first try at a hardscape, and I am pretty sure I'll end up revising it. I welcome any ideas, corrections, or suggestions anyone has.
It's made with play sand, branches found by the Potomac River and then baked in the oven, and rocks found by the river and boiled. I probably need to test the rocks for metal content, though, before adding fish. Can anyone tell me which tests would be most important?
I ordered a variety of low-light plants from Goatnad and am excited to see if I can get any of them to grow in a low-tech environment. I have a VivaGrow lamp which gives a lot of flexibility with regard to light levels. I can use Flourish if that sounds like a good choice? I'd like to find some moss to use as tree foliage and possibly ground cover. I have a second tank cycling, too, which will get any plants that don't seem the right scale or type fot this tank.
Thanks for this place to show off and ask questions. I love this hobby but have never ventured into the planted tanks before.
