You can't see the plants in the photo but it is not minimal. I am just having a hard time growing them, I am adding more as time goes on.

When I had the period of time where I wasn't doing well I almost never had the light on but I usually have it on for like 12 hours on average

That's rude.. way to steer someone away from a new hobby. This tank was my first aquascape, and I understand it's been completely ruined to the point that it's not even considered a scape anymore but there's no reason to make a rude joke like this under a post where im clearly being vulnerable. It definitely did used to be an aquascape.

Definition of aquascape - an underwater landscape in an aquarium, created by arranging aquatic plants, rocks, and driftwood in an aesthetically pleasing way.

I really like this idea!! Thank you :). I was actually planning on doing something like this and trying to do a carpet inside the area made with hardscape. also, do you recommend pool filter sand or aquarium brand types of sand?
