We'll Do It Live

It was time.  I had my tank, light, substrate, stones and wood.  Let's put it all together.  First, the final product, then the journey.


First, as I had mentioned in a previous post, I was using ADA substrates.  I don't know enough to not follow the proven system by Amano.  I didn't buy any of the additional substrate additives but I did use ADA Power Sand Advance Small which comes with stuff already in it.



I used the entire bad of Power Sand and was sure not to have it near the edges so that it wouldn't show once I added the ADA Aquasoil Amazonia.  Below is where I landed after my first attempt. 


After some good feedback from /r/PlantedTank I added much more slope to the back of the tank on both sides, rotated the spider wood piece the strecthes out to the left so it would point more towards the front as well as added a few more accent stones to the left side.  The end state is at the top of this post and I let things sit for a few days as I started planning out what plants I was going to order for doing a Dry Start.

Here are some more pictures of the final end state.
