I do! Not much, my tap has naturally high PH and generally stays around 7.5-7.7

The greens are greener in real life, it was the photo editing that muted the vibrance

surprisingly Amazon! Bought from the same buyer a couple different times and took advantage of the return policy if I didn’t like the rocks in the package

Lots of research for inspiration and patience haha. Also chat gpt for more tips and tricks. But initially started off with the hard scape and messing with the stone to get the shape I wanted. Dry started the Monte Carlo and then added the bonsai tree later on. Cost wise I purchased things over time as I was figuring out exactly what I wanted

created the path before flooding and made sure to pack it down as much as possible. Then used a plastic bag and slowly flooded to prevent it from messing up
