Here is another attempt - a drawing of sorts. I was able to find some nice rocks to build a set of steps leading to a rock platform. I found a potential platform, but am looking for something a bit better still. I also really liked the sphagnum moss packed along the walls idea and plan on using that for at least the back. I plan on chopping up the cork bark that was the "back wall" and using a portion of it along the back still as sort of a "potting" structure for a nice plant - possibly a small fern. I also still plan to plant some kind fo flowering plant in the back and center of the main cork bark platform (the red thing is supposed to be "some sort of flower". I hope to have moss catch on the platform and the coco fiber I plan to spread over it - if moist enough I'm hoping the java fern, if not, I found a few mosses around my house that might work, or I can try and find a good one at the local nursery. As far as other plants, I really liked the pennywort in that tank you linked, mellow, as well as the creeping fig. I plan to do something similar if I cannot do those.
I kind of confused myself on the filter set-up. I ended up getting the 404 as that was recommended by the guy at the hydroponics store. I have plenty of foam to shape to my needs. It seems, from what I've read, all the other standard medias in a filter aren't really needed in a nicely planted aquarium. Is there a "standard" method to building this kind of circulation or a "best" method?
Thanks again.
I also just want to say, the drawing really isn't all that great. After looking at it one last time, I think I under represented the size of the rocks, they are a bit longer than the picture shows. The sizes of all the wood also varies a bit from reality - just a rough sketch of what I am thinking after playing around with the set up last night.
