Miniature Aquascape

[Allwin]

Cool buddy, i will stop-by sometime to take a look.

I don't use any aquascape soil just Ace Hardware pool filter sands. I got the DIY Co2 kit that I will be using shortly. Currently just using Seachem Excel bio Co2 and API Leaf Zone. These two combination works amazing to keep the plants healthy. For lighting i use 10K full spectrum ebay LED lights. It works amazing for such a cheap light.

My amazon sword and fern are growing out smaller swords and fern. I'm going to grow these out and sell or give it away to MWDH member who needs some plants.

I kind-of fell in love with "Baby Tears" for the floor bed, but heard its pretty challenging to grow-out without proper setup. Any planted people on "Baby tears"? Hit or miss I like to give a try

I had the driftwood in stand unused for years and got the other one, So i can combine to form a tree like structure.

I would not do glossostigma elatinoides without high light or without co2. This plant is very demanding IME. I had a hi-tech planted tank with full co2 and T5's and it still took a while to get a nice carpet going. It hates being obscured by anything.

Thanks Rick, Diy co2 d501 is in transit and looking for a suitable/reasonable lighting system. Anything u recommend?

While I will be working on the carpet plants, allowed these Java moss attched to driftwood to grow in parallel.

What's your plans for a diffuser?

[Allwin]

I do have this co2 diffuser came with the D501 kit and got a additional bubble counter. Still, furthermore atomizing the bubbles is helpful i guess.

What's your plans for a diffuser?
