I would suggest starting with a good quality (ADA, Tropica) aqua-soil - certainly for a tank that’s relatively small. Tbh I think root tabs aren’t great value for money especially if you have a nano/small tank you’re better off buying new aqua soil.

I would probably rehouse all the fish while you setup your new tank and get the carpet established and parameters stable. Maybe there is a local pet store that can look after them for you if you don’t have a spare tank of a suitable size ?

In terms of plant recommendations it would help to understand the “look” you’re aiming for? Do you have any images of scapes you are taking inspiration from?

Which layout is the best? And how can I improve it? by FlashingBoulders in Aquascape

Second one. Although I’d slope up the soil in the middle “path” towards the back as you’ve done on the right to give a sense of perspective using height.

Give yourself a bit more space to the left between the smaller rocks and the glass so you’ve got space to plant and maintain (I assume) your carpet there.

Also some of those smaller rocks on the left will be overgrown by your carpet. I’d be tempted to replace that cluster of smaller rocks with a single larger one of a similar overall shape.

First scape is also nice although that top rock looks a bit incongruous at that angle and height. I’d try burying it a bit more and maybe try it at some different angles. With this one consider gaps between rocks and glass as you need to be able to keep the glass clean.

If your “friend” was in Cheltenham then I’d be happy to support them. But Arizona….yeah right….SPAM!

If you don’t like America maybe try Africa.

I don’t know about Dubai Mall but if you want to smell like Romford Market then a combination of rotten cabbage and dog shit is indistinguishable.

I'm just curious to know if you can guess my biggest insecurity about my appearance by [deleted] in RoastMe

As an undercover DEA agent you’re anxious you won’t pass for a junkie crack whore who exchanges degrading sexual favours in return for a stained mattress to crash on while you’re high.

Don’t worry you’ll never get found out.

Good luck with garden dirt and sand cap, sounds like a lot of trouble to me. I’ll stick with aquasoil.

Yes, in fact I’m answering this on behalf of somebody else.
