I built this over the last couple of weeks. I am really proud of it!



It has a Begonia cleopatra, Ludisia discolor, Ludisia discolor 'nigrescens', Goodyera schlectendaliana, Laelia sincoriana, Begonia 'Olympic', Pilea depressa, Pilea cadierei, Philodendron 'Red Empress', Neo. Fireball x Royal Burgundy, Pilea spurceana, Pilea artillery, Neo. Chiqueta Linda, Pilea carperata, and a Peperomia magnoliaefolia. It will be done when the Pleurothallis scolopax I bought on eBay comes in this week. It looks a little dense, but I like it!

As I commented in the gallery, this setup will take allot of trimming. Many of the plants will grow quickly. But if your committed to trimming I think it looks great!
I would remove the Philo since it is a large grower and will take root and consume all the resources in the tank. There are smaller species that would do better, but none at all would do also.

The background actually came with the tank. It is made by "River Tank Systems". It is some kind of a plastic rock stuff. It required some.. err.. modification- there was a divider made of the same material as the background about where the wood sits now that went about half-way up the tank. A hammer fixed that problem.

I got the tank free from my school's aquaculture house. It was housing some ugly little SA cichlids I couldn't even identify. They made good food for a bigger SA cichlid :).
