My second tank, and first planted tank setup. 75gallons, beamswork DA FSPEC 48" led, roughly 44Par at the substrate. Black diamond blasting media substrate. Flourish root tabs and easy green ferts. Wish me luck.

Basic stand frame, added more upright support immediately after.

Skinning, trimming, and staining the frame. Dog crates are the best saw horses.

Testing the fit

Hardscape: large pumice stones found at the local rock yard. Cutting and placing over egg crate. Most of them float in water, so I secured them down to the bottom glass.

Washed the black diamond sand, and filling.

Purchased a couple micro sword pots and was gifted some anubias nana from a friend.

Old man in the Rock.

More Nana in the cracks

Gifted a crypt as well! More backdrop planting to come soon.

Day 3 already seeing what I think is new growth, did not expect that so soon!
