Hope that will be a stunning tank. I always like planted tanks full of stem plants.

Can you please show the plantation plan?

[jack]

Looks promising.....
But few rocks near the woods will help the scape to look more... IMO
Will keep a track of this tank ....
Keep updated

Thanks everybody.... even I am so much curious when it will be grown up fully. @Rajiv Sir - How to show plantation plan, I have no idea about it.

Something like the following

[gauravgupta]

Ohh.. Thats a Big Job for me bcoz it was set up by Swapan Baruah... but still I will try to do that as per your plan. Hope it will increase my skills.

Thanks.

[parthapratim22]

what about CO2?

[gauravgupta]

I have installed 2 DIY bottles for that and its working on 2bps. Hope it is ok or should I go for cylindrical one.

And Light are 4 Pll each of 36 watts. Filter is made inside the tank in right side with 3 channels of filtration process.

Looking for expert advise if I am doing something wrong because I have only limited knowledge about that.

Thanks again.

What's your plan for fauna.?? I think I can see a Blue Betta near the driftwood in the left side. Nice driftwoods too...
