WillC Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Anyone done a tank that's entirely planted and no hardscape? And noooo I am not asking this question because I just planted a new tank and failed to sink my centerpiece of hardscape for a few weeks before I planned on planting the tank... 🤣 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I keep several aquariums with plants and snails. They help me enjoy the hobby with less pressure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gravel bed selection was taken straight from your tank setups and one of Daniel's experimental post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Does this qualify? Do jelly jars and gladware counts as hardscape? 😂🤷🏻♀️ I do have rocks and wood pieces that some plants have attached. Everything in here is removable so I can catch out fish if needed. This is set up as a cory comfy breeding tank. Nearly all my other tanks have either large rocks or wood or both. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I've given up on hard scapes in my CO2 tanks. And most Dutch style tanks forgo hard scapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I have several pieces of bois d'arc wood in my 65 gallon tank with anubias attached to it, and several of the smaller tanks have fist-sized piles of small rocks for shrimp to hide in. Other than that all the others are just sand and plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 My current project tank is all plants and pest snails. My first sand substrate, and no maintenance beyond top offs and trimming the Wisteria. The project was originally intended to try to resurrect the dying plants, and test different substrates. later I removed all of the equipment except for the light. Eleven months in, I don't think of it as a project anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Watanabe Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I’m currently trying out a planted tank with 0 hardscape featuring mostly cryptocoryne species with a crinum and lotus. I’m currently adding co2 to transition the crypts from emersed to submersed a little faster but hope to reduce the amount of co2 in the future. Really enjoying the tank so far. Oh and some of the plants are still in their cups but I’ll be taking them out and planting them into the gravel soon.
