A new start

Its been a long time since I have updated this page.
I set-up a new planted tank since I have more time to be at home.
Thanks to a good friend who is willing to give me his 2x1x1 crystal glass tank.

2ft x 1ft x 1ft crystal glass tank

For the substrate, I am currently using a very simple soil mix which can be purchases at any nurseries. Used about 15 litre of it to fill up the tank. 
Soil mix -5 litre

 Took me about 3 days to get the scape that I am looking for. But it still failed me as the theme that I wanted to follow is not there.
Scaping

Flora that were tied to the bogwood as well as planted to the soil
 Flora that were either planted or tied were :
1) Taiwan Moss - Taxiphyllum alternans
2)  Java MossTaxiphyllum barbieri
3)  Flame moss - Taxiphyllum sp
4)  Spiny mossTaxiphyllum sp
5) Monte Carlo - Elatine Hydropiper aka Micranthemum sp "Monte carlo"

Currently doing a 1 week Dry start method before adding a load of shrimps.

Stay tune!
