With hairgrass, it's difficult to keep it from the sand because it shoots new grass (rhizome) under the gravel. You'll have to very carefully pull the rhizome out without disturbing the soil. Another option is to add a plastic divider inside the substrate between sand and soil to prevent the rhizome from crawling. But not sure if that will work efficiently. Tenellus works because they grow rhizomes on top of the substrate and you could cut it out. Hemianthus callitrichoides works too. Good luck

You can try weeping moss or christmass moss. They can also produce nice tree effect. It takes a couple of months for the moss to grow completely. Regular trimming is required in order to maintain its shape and prevent it from out growing.

Thabk you! I bought a nice "SeaStar Sunstrip 5K/14K freshwater" light, which I saw on several aqua scape shows here in LA, and big nape suppliers use it to grow and seed "multiply" plants. Also, it is good for color enhancing. For canister I will get the Fluval 206 for my 30gal long. I will get a CO2 system soon

To do an aquascape with a path, you mus be prepared for lots of maintenance work. For a start let the plants grow completely to cover the ground,. Then do a force trimming to shape out a path. After that. you need to add in the sand of your choice to create the path. And finally, constant trimming of plants that creeps towards the path. Probably once every 2-3 days. Hope this helps. :)

Thanks! Yes, our aquariums now are all freshwater. Here's to answer your questions: 1) The plastic sheets are used to prevent stirring up of the substrates when we pour in or fill up the tank with water. Different people use different methods. Some use newspaper. But we prefer using plastic sheets. :) 2) If your aquarium is a fully planted tank, there is no need to "clean" your tank so throughoutly like vaccuming the bottom etc. Just clean off any visible algae growing on glass and water change.

To have CO2 or not really depends on the type of aquatic plants you intend to keep. Hardier or less demanding plants like Java Ferns or Anubias Nana does not require CO2. There are 2 ways to inject CO2, one is to use a pressurized cylinder and proper accessories, the other method is DIY, i.e. using sugar & yeast. With regards to the light, we are using high output T5, 24W x 4 tube with 10,000K.

Thanks! From our experience, most fish eat shrimps, even small tetras. But if you introduce the livestocks by order, such hunting behavior can be minimized. E.g. we introduce shrimps into our aquarium first for a few weeks before the fish. This way, the fish, as a "newcomer" will not disturb the original inhabitants. You can try this method. It works for us. :)

After dozens of hours of research I decided to use layered substrate with SeaChem flourite standard, which has the most of most engredients, and it is the most balanced SeaChem. The other SeaChems are region and plant specialized (restricted), and I needed a multi-purpose substrate. While those will grow most things too, I went with the standard. The top layer will be 1.5" to 2" of ADA Soil Amazonia. So when the plants are bigger, they will have more minerals from the SeaChem. I love these two.

You can start putting in livestock by batches when ammonia is near or at 0ppm. Usually 2 to 4 weeks later. But do not put in too many at a time because they may generate waste faster than the bacteria can break down.

We never vacuum our planted aquarium especially those with soil. First of all, you need a good filter system that can give you good mechanical and bio filtration. Once the aquarium is well cycled, the bacteria will break down ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate. Nitrate is then taken up by the aquatic plants or from water change. Point to note, always keep the aquarium well balanced. I.e. Light, CO2, Nutrients and Temperature.

Ya. It's hard to choose a compatible fish for the aquascape. I thought the yellow of furcata is enough to brighten up the entire aquascape but it is still not sufficient. Using ember tetra tetra may give a different result because of its red.

The entire process is about 4 months. Including the making of tree and the actual scaping. The 'tree' itself took about 3 month to grow. As for the grass, took probably 2 to 3 weeks to grow. I will test the water 2 to 3 times a week and remove any algae as and when required during the 1st 2 months of setup. After that, aquarium stabilizes and cleaning took place once a week.

I've been seeing a lot of planted aquariums lately and it makes me wonder, how do you clean it? Do the live plants clean the wastes and etc. by themselves? If not, wouldn't it be a hassle/harmful to have to use an aquarium vacuum to clean the bottom? I think this is a really beautiful aquarium and I want to make one similar to it, that's why I want to ask, I want to know what to expect before I blindly jump into using live plants.
