This will be a planted tank, so imagine green plants and black substrate.
20 gal. Long.

Small rock

Personally…. I think I would use only one or two of the larger rocks and use a bunch of the smaller rocks around it. I would let the wood be the taller and lay that gray rock on its side with the pinkish rock in the middle right next to it with small rocks around it.

What will your stocking be?

I'd say #3 of the original post. I like the smaller rocks clustered in front of the bigger pink rock, and the driftwood flat stands up taller. You have a nice front area for some glosso or another carpet plant if you have the light to support it. Looking good!

I will implement the changes and take a pic in a few.

Also all the rocks being used are a shade of pink/red when wet.

Zorronet, your memory is betraying you my friend. LOL do you not remember my thread on emersed starting this tank?

Oh and stephcps, here is the actual build thread. I didnt want to clutter it with questions and trial and error post.

If you look into the biotope of mikrogeophagus theres not many rocks but driftwood is abundant. And so is leaf litter. If you could getnsone oak leaves or almond leaves it would be great. There organisms that grow on the decomposing leaves will be eaten by any fry which is beneficial.

No one seems to remember, we have been through all that. This is just for the hardscape. I do appreciate your post, but Zorro, Byron, you, and I discussed this tank setup at length on another thread, LOL.
