Here's the tank (my first one) and some rocks i have to work with, plus two pieces of driftwood. Tank dimensions make it kind of 'nano' its only about 58cm x 24cm x24cm.
I'm not sure how to make it all 'coalesce' together so it looks like a natural habitat, like an amazon river or something. Perhaps my soil substrate would have been better off black than dark brown, but I can't really change that now. I am growing some dwarf hair grass to put in too.
Any ideas? Also the driftwood would tint the water a bit, but perhaps it would look cool? I was thinking about making a kind of 'mound' of soil to the left, placing the driftwood so it sticks out of the tank a few inches, then some rocks also in that area to make maybe like a cave area, then the right side of the tank, a field of low lying dwarf grass. That big heater is going to be replaced by a tiny 10cm long one, which would stick to the side, so the back of the tank is all free space to work with.
