Thought I'd share my 12 Gallon Long with everyone here. After downsizing from larger tanks (and stems, more on that later), the 12G has been my main setup. Although it's only 12 gallons, it's 3-feet long so does present as a larger tank. The downside is, it is very narrow (8") and presents some challenges, especially with hardscape. The tank is pretty much an epiphyte setup with ferns, anubias and moss.
This is the original hardscape consisting of seiryu stone, spiderwood and pool filter sand
Soon after the initial planting
and after it fully grew in
I had an itch to change it, so I removed the spiderwood and everything attached to it and literally pushed the two pieces of seiryu stone together and made an island of sorts with some added giant hairgrass
A more recent change included removing all, well almost all of the seiryu stone and dropping in a large piece of manzanita wood and added lots of mini pellia and more buces. This is pretty much where the tank is now, although I did make some other changes recently which I'll post soon enough.
