OVERVIEW

The planning of this large tank took 8 months due to the fact that finding matching stones that look proportional in a larger planted aquarium is quite a daunting task. An estimated 250+ pounds of rock were used to create the overall layout along with 3 bags of 9L Tropica Aquarium Soil. In order to maintain the high valley slopes longterm, large, flatter pieces of stone were placed at the base to ensure that it would not collapse over time. A total of 17 cups of Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo' tissue culture were planted densely to allow for quicker aquatic plant filling of this tank. Half inch portions of Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo' were patiently divided and planted in half inch increments. Due to the high-tech nature of this tank, we were able to grow a full and complete carpet of Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo' within a months time. This layout is intended to be maintained longterm. We imagine the possibility of additional plants in the future as this layout allows for the addition of stem plants and midground plants. However, we currently enjoy the simplistic nature of this planted aquarium tank.
