Journey, please read from bottom up...

Done (My small dinning area)












Journey Monday (26 Nov)
Took a couple of  mini nana from my existing larger tank and scattered them along the rocky scapes.
At least for now, my Budget Journey is considered complete within 4 days.  I wonder what theme should I call it, Yellow Stone River?










Journey Sunday (25 Nov)
Aging my tank water at its initial setup before I fine tune it along the way by adding plants, fishes, fans and proper lighting. As of now this is on budget.











Bought additional 2.5 kg of rocks

Jouney Saturday (24 Nov)
Bought two cheapest bogwoods to tie my needle ferns before the fern dries out










Journey Friday (23 Nov)
Bought some rocks and river gravel



















Journey Thursday (22 Nov)
Bought a new tank (60cm L X 23cm W X 28cm H)
Eden 501 (existing stock which was not utilised)
As you can see, I cut the Eden inlet/outlet tubes shorter to match the heigh of my 2ft tank
