Plants looking v. nice!

That's the spirit ;) best of luck and keep us updated!

Shame about the plants mate, it was a great looking tank :)

That hardscape is beautiful i have to say. I was considering buying rocks from ebay, would you not reccommend them then?

Glad I could help :)

Lily pipes arrives on Friday and I was very pleased with the outflow pipe. It also only cost £12 including postage from china. But, with my luck being my luck I opened the inflow package and it was broken :evil: have now contacted the company but I guess it will be at least another 2 weeks until...

I had that white fungus stuff on my gravel too but it has gone now after frequent water changes

It's looking really amazing, wonderful, healthy plants.

I have to say the tank is looking a lot nicer after the plant removal

Looking nice :) so you didn't get a replacement for the fluval tank?

Plants are looking nice and healthy :thumbup:

Re: Another day in paradise. Video update. Absolutely stunning :)

Re: Update Time! Above the photo click "share" then click "grab the HTML/BB code" and then choose the bb code option. That is then ready to paste in :)

Considering restarting this journal.. i have learnt a lot more about iwagumi style scaping. Anyways, i have been through a lot of different scapes and have decided on one i like but do seel it needs more rocks (which means more money that needs to be spent - which as i have said at the age of...

Re: First ever tank Did you fill the drop checker up with 4dkh solution or just normal tap water?

Lovely video :thumbup:

Sounds like you put some good thought into your tank choice, I look forward to seeing photos :)

Re: P@H Cube (Rescape)- Forgotten Realm Looking good mate, good to see some quality from Bristol :thumbup: :lol:

Are you using CO2?

Beautiful :D

Re: Drifting - Algae Woes This is correct :thumbup:

Looking very nice :thumbup:

I'm looking forward to it :)

Lovely scape! Is it still running?

Now just need to get, timer plugs, acrylic pipe, heat gun, some filter media and plants.. haha

Went a bit over the top on ebay (as you do) and ended up ordering pretty much the rest of everything i need... CO2 proof tubing, solenoid valve, bubble counter, clear filter tubing and the UP atomizer. Brilliant.

Also, just ordered a UP atomizer.

Filter arrived today. IMG_4107 by callum fish, on Flickr And here are the ferts: IMG_4108 by callum fish, on Flickr

Re: My 130ltr Tank - Lots of Pics Eminem - talking 2 myself? Haha, nice video, you got some good flow in there.

This is simply amazing, what a huge amount of effort and commitment.

Any updates? :)

Afraid I can't recommend a good pump but I have to say that this is an amazing build. I hope you don't lose any more livestock as you put so much effort in to this!

Thanks for the help, I'll look in to those fish.

Ah, thanks for the advice, I'll buy some different hose.

CO2 system is a fluval 20 kit I had lying around. Will be running with an inline atomizer in my external filter.

Little update. Yesterday I bought a fluval 205 (I know this is a little overkill for a tank so small but I was able to get it cheaper than the Hydor Prime 10 so I thought why not?) So I will have to get a couple of inline taps to reduce flow if the filter doesn't come with them anyway. Since the...

Agreed with mark, starting to take shape, good job!

Re: Drifting Lovely looking tank, has developed hugely an is definitely at its best right now :)

Looking nice, excited for more pics!

Re: First ever tank Pun intentional? ;)

Ferts arrived today

Re: My new scape. Still looking great :)

First one looks good, as long as it will fit the length of your tank. You will also have to make sure you get the right bulbs as you will often get blue bulbs with these units. An advantage is that is has 2 power switches so you can vary the lighting as you may find 3 bulbs too much for your...

Re: My new Fluval Profile 850 (230litres) Also maybe try with a plain background. It will make the plants stand out better. Black would probably be best but white can work nicely too :)

Re: First ever tank This was very helpful, good job Troi :thumbup:

Hi Jay, good looking plan here I look forward to seeing the development. Substrate wise you could get Colombo flora base. I got some for christmas and its great, it's like ADA aqua soil but a little cheaper. There are some nice T5 lighting units on eBay and allpondsolutions. If you're using CO2...

No I did not know that :I but I plan to cover everything so should be ok :)

Just realised how similar the scape is to the one in the guide :o

Been spending my Christmas evening fiddling with the hardscape (thanks to reading TGM Iwagumi Introduction). I've found a scape which i quite like the look of. I'm also thinking of using the Amano moss technique (chopping it up and smearing it in the cracks of the rocks). Took a couple of...

Very helpful, thanks. May have to invest in some larger stones.

Re: 25L Iwagumi Journal *UPDATE* Father Christmas chose wisely and decided to get me some Colombo Flora base (looking good!). So I thought i'd do a little update on the tank. IMG_4067 by callum fish, on Flickr Putting the flora base in IMG_4068 by callum fish, on Flickr Spreading with a...

Re: My new Fluval Profile 850 (230litres) Looking forward to seeing it "filled out". Got any more pics? :D

Re: Rio 125 - Orphans Island. 4 Week update, plenty of pics! Love it, my new years resolution is now gonna be to give my rio 125 a makeover :D

I actually really look the like of the aquarium but if you want to grow tennellus you could try and get some special substrate to aid superior growth. Also, i know you can't scape too much because of the hood but perhaps move the wood towards the back a little and group it together then place...

Re: My 130ltr Tank - Lots of Pics Of course get rid of the algae first. What i meant to say was if you don't see any change after a long period of using EI then you can try upping the light by an hour and see what difference it makes.

Re: My 130ltr Tank - Lots of Pics What substrate are you using? Also you could try upping your lighting a little (leave it on for say 9 hours) to keep up with the Co2 and ferts, but you'll have to be careful with the algae. Otherwise, looking good :)

I just push them far in to she substrate. You could try siliconing them to a piece of slate or glass and covering with substrate :)

I think it looks great, but perhaps spread the rocks apart a little. It will also look a lot better when you get those plants to carpet as the rock and substrate won't blend so much. Perhaps try and get some stargrass (heteranthera zosterfolia) in there :) Are you using CO2?

Re: The Transparent Tank Challenge Love how you can see the development of the tank, great journal! Tank is looking lovely, keep it up. I'm not an algae expert but it might be black beard algae? (Don't take my word for it). Callum

Re: 25L Iwagumi Journal Gonna use dry ferts and I'm gonna use API root tabs. In real life the rocks don't look nearly as merged but I guess I might get my hands on some ADA soil. Ah well, it's my first attempt at an iwagumi, it's not gonna be perfect straight away! ;)

Re: 25L Iwagumi Journal Thanks i'll check it out... And it's the pics.. looks much different "in real life"

So i'm setting up a 25L Iwagumi. I just need a little help on ideas for the hardscape! If possible, could you tell me which one you think looks best? Light is a little dodgy. Here are some pictures of the different styles: 1. IMG_4060 by callum fish, on Flickr IMG_4061 by callum fish, on...

Re: Return of the nry :) 'Sticks and stones' Rescape/new pic Really like it, the midground planting you've done is a great substitute for wood/rocks as a focal point. Bug thumbs up!

Re: The journey begins... Ada soil is worth it if you can afford it. Akadama bonsai soil is supposed to be good also and is really cheap. I'll keep tuned ;)

I really like this tank :D more pictures please! How much did you buy it for?

Re: My new scape. I think i sort of prefer the tank when it's been bulldozed :D As gmartins said, very inspiring and looks great! Keep it up!

Have to say the last two pictures are amazing, as is your tank! Keep up the good work.

Re: 90x45x45 under the river scape Yeah, it's my first time with dry ferts. Those sites are really helpful... Thanks a lot!

Re: 90x45x45 under the river scape Thanks! I'll probably make a pre-Christmas order of dry ferts :)

Re: 90x45x45 under the river scape Awesome tank so far! How long did the ferts take to arrive? Callum
