Hi everyone, I'm back with my wannabe low-tech aquascape.

The soil step has been accomplished. I have now a complete substrate composed of pouzzolane, flourite sachem red and scapesoil from oase. Everything in brown colors as suggested by one of you. I think it fits great the tank.

Now, based on the suggestions given and plants available, I'm considering the following plants:

1. Carpeting with **Hydrocotyle tripartitra** (I can have 1x pot of in vitro for 3.78€. I will most likely buy a few ones and try to get a dense carpet from the start)
2. I will try to put moss everywhere on the wood. I have to, and you guys are expecting me to do so! 😂 I have my eyes on the **Vesicularia dubyana Christmas**. What do you think? It'll give a fern vibe, like back to Jurassic.

And then? Could some **Littorella uniflora** be added to that carpet? Or would it stand out to much? Maybe considering **Marsilea hirsute** instead? It looks cuter and easier to blend in. Then, I have in my basked **Eleocharis Parvula**, but I guess it'd stand out as much as the L**ittorella uniflora**, with the spikes, and maybe not fit the aesthetic of the **Hydrocotyle tripartita**.

Thoughts?

Finally, had my eyes on **Rotala rotundifolia Orange Juice** and **Lilnophila Hippuridoides** for the nice colors and strange shapes, to accentuate the otherworldly vibe. But it could maybe too much, and I should focus more on carpet and moss?

For the reminder, the plan is to go no filter. Just lights, plants, and maybe a little school of fish. So, I wouldn't want that only carpet and moss end up being way too little for this kind of setup.

That's all for the part 2. Thanks for having read me.
