Just filled it then so it's still murky.

For the ground cover I settled for glosso. Crypts and blyxa near the wood and a few swords and polysperma down the sides.
I left blank spots on the corners and the very back because I'm unsure on what to put there.
Any suggestions please let me know!
Cheers

Hey,

I've decided to get a two foot cube. Custom vebas tank, 3 sides low iron one side normal.
It's currently sitting in the corner,
Plans are to simply work plants around the driftwood feature to compliment the hardscape.
Not 100% sure on where it's going to take me, but I have a rough idea and guide to follow which you'll see slowly come together over the next few weeks. but we all know aquascapes rarely go to plan 100% haha.

Equipment so far.

Kessil a150
2.4kg co2 bottle
Up aqua dual gauge reg and solenoid
Ebay cheapy diffuser, although will be buying a reactor instead.
Ebay 1400ltr/h uv canister filter

Equipment I need in the near future.

Co2 Reactor
Kessil gooseneck, could make one but would rather the right thing
Heater
Cooling fan
Drop checker/timer or ph controller
Few other bits n pieces I'm sure....

I'm not too savvy with this journal stuff, so any question ask away please. :

cheers fellas

to be honest with you, i couldn't really tell ya haha.

theres 40 odd neons in there, as well as 3 flying foxes, 3 black widows, and a handful of rummy's and an oco.

+ loads of aussie shrimp,

 

but yeh plants wise, i forget the names haha.

LB as ground cover, blyxa, and uhh, some hyrgo of some sort haha.

I bought the plants off kane months and months ago, he might be able to identify some of them.

 

edit: and lots of moss that I'm bringing back from the dead haha

willow, flame, spiky, java, and a tiny amount of fissedens.

All the mosses are in a sorry state at the moment, but i trimmed them back and theres plenty of new growth
