Peatmoss and perlite mix.
Sphagnum moss and perlite mix.
The first layer of peatmoss and perlite mix at the bottom.
DIY my own anchoring hooks for the plants onto the expanded foam area. I avoided the normal wires as they will rust. So I took an old used stainless steel mesh formerly used to tie moss, took a clamping plier and pulled strands from the edges, cut and bent to shape. Due to the still wavy shape of the wire, it is just perfect to enhance the grip in the foam compared to a straight wire.
Finally planted...80% intended flora and fauna in....left the top ledge plants and some guppies, otos and shrimps.
Full tank shot.
Left front waterlogged area with sundews planted. Added some nice looking moss and hopefully they will lawn over.
Right front waterlogged area with ping and mini orchid planted. Crypts in the water and water line. Nanas dotted the scape occupying areas wet with dripping water.
Orchid spp over the left ledge just next to the waterfall.
Another orchid spp. tied to the wooden branch and nep bellii in the right upper ledge.
Hoping to fill the left upper ledge with a bromelaide spp. as well as collect some ferns to stuff the moist nooks and crevices.
