I like the sand and is about all I use in most of my tanks.
The sand is easy to clean as the debri sits on the top, so you know where to siphon out.
I rescaped my tank. Check it out.

Yeah, you don't have a lot of fish or dead rotting plant matter so you just turn it over with a turkey baster.

TY. and yours is really really unique. You know, I love the tanks that are different from others, and yours definitely is. It is so easy to make a cookie cutter tank, but now yours.... is not.
I definitely would not mind looking at that in my living room. Nice job.

Idk but I have some awesome driftwood I could put in there right now just not gots a pan big enough :( Buuut if that first pic is how your tank started wow huge improvement. It was wayyy too busy.

thanks everyone.
I did not boil the driftwood.
You do not need to boil it. Yes, it helps to remove some of the tannis, but other than that there is no need
to. I have never had a problem with something like a piece of driftwood poisoning my tank.

Your tank looks great
The cardamine I have kept has small leaves

I have kept a plant that looks like yours brazilian pennywort

but it is a little hard to see the leaf in the pics I have kept several plants in the Hydrocotyle family they all have the ivy look.
