Hi!

So i set up my 54 liter (60 lenghtX30X30) tank today - filled it with plant substrate from sera and added some rocks and sand that I found in nature. I also got some Lilaeopsis novae-zelandie and valissneria spiralis for free so I tought I'd give them a try, tho I am not sure they will grow in my tank given that I am a complet newbie in aquatic plants and do not use CO2, nor do I intend to use heater.
The tank is going to home some WCMM and perhaps some shrimps - not sure on that one yet.

What do you think of the rock and plant arrangement for now? I already got some suggestions for easy to grow plants that do not need CO2 fertilization and are Ok in ambient temperatures but I would like to get some suggestion form you on where to put the plants in my tank and which ones of course.

Any constructive criticism is welcome, just keep in mind I am doing this for the first time ;)

Oh, and the photos don'r show it but the tank is covered and has one neon light - it is aquastar set, tho the light is not original anymore - it is tropical sun from tetra I believe.

Ok, enough said, here are the pics:

PS: sorry, the pics aren't great, I only have a mobile phone...
