Very interesting analogy. Never thought of mixing and matching substrate before. However, I guess cannot simply do, otherwise end up with plant stomach ache? heh heh

Wah...gravel so thick? foreground also so thick!

I think substrate fert more economical than liquiferts. But suitable more to the plants that absorb with their roots a lot like echinodrus species. Doubt it'll be very useful for riccia and etc. But that is some fertile substrate! Careful your plant grow gigantic :P.

not kiasu la ..i dun mix wit singapoh lung hor..
and not want to try everything la.....but

u want to count for me ah...if use basic long term fert for 4x2.5x2...how much liao ah.....where got money ah

its like this la...i don have enough of everything la...so ma campur la.

wah lau eh...macam tu pun boleh! not all the plants grow like you will be good ler. hahahaha... imagine i keeping u inside a 3x2x2ft tank and see.

the gravel should sliding down from background to foreground. else, the fore ground plants cover the middle ground n back ground. cant really bring out yr focus point n layout.

let me rescape for yr 3ft tank in yr shop. I need half of that holland sand. 1 full pail of the lapis sand (filtered n fine type). Then 2 packs of those organic fert. Get ready the plants you want... low maintenance or high maintenance plants...depends on your. I will first draw the layout and focus point...(learnt from Amano lar...)on the paper. (finally finished reading his book and learnt a lot.) Will show you before i do it lar.

ok?? next week?

Dom, what is the book title? Can I have the ISBN number, please?
