Nice scape MJ. Really liked the idea of substrate supports. I think a small school of rummynose tetras would look good since they all swim together and their red noses would look very good against the rocks and the carpet.

Thank you for the tips. I’ve been scratching my head recently with what to do with a 6.7g bookshelf nano for my friend. 23.6”L x 9.5”H x 6.7” deep Aquatop. It MUST have a lid due to his Betta which is a jumper. So no decorations can come out of the water. It’s so narrow that it’s been troubling me with how to create any sort of depth. Now I’m thinking of either breaking down the spider wood piece I bought and redesigning it to fit better with some epoxy or just getting rid of it all together and doing a design similar to this. That driftwood has been the one piece that has limited me on what to do. Again, thank you for the tips. I love your videos.

Dennerle soil geeft veel minder voedingstoffen af dan bijvoorbeeld ADA of Tropica. Ik raad aan om in de eerste week 3 waterwissels te doen van 50% in de tweede week 2x 50% en daarna gewoon 1x per week. Darkstart kan natuurlijk, maar ik heb er geen geduld voor. 😬
