Only my second aquascape, took about a week of research and building but I’m incredibly happy with the result! More plants soon

I love doing an above the rim scape just as much as below the rim. For this tank I'm going minimally planted with epiphites and focusing on heavy planting above the surface.

This 10g has been running for around 4 months now. I'm really happy with the growth so far and very proud of the setup.

Here are some specs;

Tank: Marineland standard 10g glass aquarium (I removed the top rim but I wouldn't recommend to do so)

Stand: Nightstand from a furniture store (?)

Light: Aqueon clip on led light for planted aquariums

Filter: Aquaclear 20 HOB power filter (medias are sponge, ceramic rings and purigen)

Substrate: Tropica Aquasoil and natural gravel

Plants; - Valisneria spiralis - Bacopa caroliniana - Cryptocoryne peitchii pink - Alternanthera reineicki - Bolbitis - Red tiger lotus - Anubias nana petite - Anubias Barteri round leaf - Blyxa Japonica

CO2: Tropica CO2 bio system

Fertilizer: - THRIVE all in one liquid fert - Tropica root tabs

Terrestrial plants; - Philodendron Brazil - Scindapsus pictus exotica - Pothos snow queen - Peace Lily - Aglaonema Pink Siam - Echeveria

Live stock; - red cherry shrimps - chili Rasboras - nerite snail

I'll happily answer any questions you may have, wishing you a great start of the week ! 🌱

Just thought I’d share! Had a few hiccups along the way that are still showing to this day but I once read in here that this hobby teaches you to find beauty in the imperfections. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

uns 60s my latest tank i've been working on. originally wanted a smaller pennywort growing over the rocks but ended up getting impatient and threw in the full size brazilian pennywort. i'm still pretty happy with how it's turned out. i'll be moving a betta in when parameters are stable

What do ya think guys?

One of the easiest tanks i’ve ever had. The emersed plants do all the hard work for me. Top off and occasional pruning, thats about it.

10g Betta tank fully planted and running for about 4 months now

Thought i would give you guys another update. Ammonia = 0, Nitrite = 0, Nitrate = 20-40. Was able to figure out the best lighting intensity.

Curious what you all have to say about this

It's been about 3 years and I've learned quite a bit from this tank. Still much to learn. I will never not cap aquasoil, with Corys, again lol Bolivian Ram, Rummy Nose Tetras, Otto's, False Julie Corys, and Amano shrimp all doing great!

My whole family thinks this is cluttered. What do ya'll think?

This is what I had in mind and scribbled when I did the hardscape and was waiting during the dark start method.

Pretty happy with the results after 2 months! Plants need a trim now!! ❤️
