I've kept apisto's in planted tanks with out making them a home. They just seem to of made one themselves, just whack in a bit of rock some twigs and wood,... Plenty of moss and leaf litter. They'll sort it them selfs. :)

I'm a fan of watersprite in betta tanks. Keep the plants low tech because you really do need minimal flow for this fish to be happy. If you are going that fancy aswell with the fish I'd pick your wood very very carefully or spend time sanding any snagging bits and pointy edges. I've always...

the egg crate marin guys use will be fine, just glue at the angle you want or use putty. if you have an angle grinder or a friend that does use that the get a flat bottom on the rocks then glue them.

+1 from meh

theres model tigers in one of the tanks.... wow... I was never a fan of his but it had been a while since i had looked back at his stuff, or seen anything recent....and its still nassssssty as hell

the green machine also did a couple of wabi kusa in there newsletter, its available on there site have a look for some inspiration...

Am I right in what I've done here? I don't really get this stuff haha The circles are quite large as the editor I use from iTunes is for making fun photos haha and quite awkward I use The bottom right should be to the left a tad

I need to work this out a bit more, I'm sure what your explains is simple I just not sure i get the dots I understand they are focal points is what your saying but why?? Why are they focal points wash divas brought to them? I can't say they would have been if there wasn't dots there Or are we...

Powerful!

Is it THAT much ?

Nice :) Dragon stone is really reeeeaaally nice, you an get some air size chunks of it too, and it's easy to manipulate and break bits of to get nice shapes.

I've got a feeling dragon stone is ok. Will you be remineralising the RO or cutting with tap water?

Ahh sorry Im guilty of being a bit of a skim reader. So long at your dosing EI I think Yourll be fine burying the clay pots :) Get a journal on the go too mate!

You could use the pots I guess and bury them, but you may aswel bury them in then black pots they come in if your going to do that. Having car litter I guess your dosing your water column well so should be ok.

I think adding any pots and sponge will take away from the aesthetics of the tank, lead weights are ok guess as far as looks as once on the stem and buried there not visible. Only beef might be water chemistry so someone else can chime in on that one. Also new growth may be out side of the lead...

Brilliant George, ive always liked the look the smaller edge, they just neede that little bit more. Having seen the lights in person are you confident it'll grow most plants? With the addition of co2 and ei it looks like it would, shame about the filter just slacking a little. Great video mate

2nd that I see what your going for but the symmetry is just way too strong. Have another crack and put another picture up.

I saw in the water zoo today a goby, i didnt take the name down but it looked like maybe rhinogobius?? Lol They where 3.50 and the stiphoden neon goby was 9.99 I liked the look of both.

Thanks for the link to the shrimp website mate I think I'm trying to get abhood mixture or shrimp tank and planted tank, I want abhood grade of shrimp to live in peace in the tank and breed, but I'm not going to be goig to extremes to raise the shrimplettes Would goby kill the shrimp babes?

Cheers for the input guys, Plain is really smart looking but Im fourth go with some aqua soil because it gives me a little margin for error. Thats a shame about the arc spyder, surely they tested it before building thousands? Realised the drooping lid and the pink light. I had a 11w arc pod...

Quite tempted by an Arcadia 60l, nice shape at 600x300x360h, comes with the new eclipse light that's 24w and is a plant pro bulb, also come with heater and 700lph filter. I'll sell the filter and heater and re use my fluvial 305 and inline heater will just get a spray bar kit for the filter. Im...

Whoa whoa whoa Haha Can anyone recommend a good active shrimp forum? I was thinking about using plain sand? But just to give that margin for error with my dosing, im going to use either Colombo flora base or another aquasoil.

Soooo... I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so any mods feel free to move it about :) The idea of this thread is to get some input from you guys on my next tank. I've got multiple nano's an just so many tanks and I really want to cut them all down to one. Something planted...

Just a quick one, Are you using EI or tpn or some kind of liquid ferts? I'm not sure if I misread this but I'm sure having only foam in youer filters is not a good idea, someone else will have to jump in on that one though, sorry.

I like it a lot :) Your onto a winner and are in no way over your head, it can seem like that at times but don't worry yourself too much, I'd just leave hardscape as it is and focus on creating a nice healthy planted jungle, plenty of crypts swords and stems will add the different textures and...

I didn't comment on the depth, the depth is great, so is the health of the scape the plant choice is excellent I can see why people would love it but i do not..... ;)

The 1st one is a beaut, but I'm not fond of the 2nd. Sure I can see why it would appeal to some, its just not my bag baby!

I made a cave for my apistogramma's by having a ton of landscaping stone and fitting it together so it was nise and tight, I tied moss onto it and it looks pretty good, and they love it :) Your best bet would be like bobs, but I think itd look better with lava rock, with moss tied to it.

Re: Post your favourite ever driftwood layout! Neil that Norbert Sabat tank is lusty! Plus 1 for a sticky for inspiration on wood layouts :D

Re: Post your favourite ever driftwood layout! :oops: Didn't see that at all!!

Re: Post your favourite ever driftwood layout! Nice post George, that 4th one is ugly as sin haha. Moss, sand and wood :D look forward to it mate

Re: Post your favourite ever driftwood layout! Tom that an amazing tank! Really inspirational. Garuf that 1st one is really cool, the wood on the front right looks like a rock, really cool shape.

Yours was top 3 alllll day, some of the other tanks IMO where ermmm pretty pants

4 is a stunning tank, well done Luis you tank looked brilliant, I was ment to mention to you on twitter(yes I'm following you) haha , also reading you blog, quite a good read , and I hate blogging! Obrigado

There's some great mosses about so I'm sure you won't have too much trouble finding one for your scape. Sounds good mark, make sure you get a journal up, possibly even start one now to get some opinions on 'centre' or 'focal' plants ect, one thing....don't rush in! Plan it out get have a good...

Trimming :) obviously choosing the right plant in the 1st place goes without saying, so check the plants height and needs before you purchase. Plants like p.helferi make for good fore-mid ground plants, keeping some parts trimmed and allowing others to grow over time will help to create a more...

Nothings showing up mate, However I did notice your picture thingy ma jing.......niiiice haha I appreciate a wierd 'gif' keep it up :)

Rrrr man, can't see this, has anyone got another source I tried google hunting but couldn't find it.

I wrote 'A nice decorative same'. in my reply previous to my last one I was supposed to type 'A nice decorative sand' lol silly me. But yeh go for a nice sane :) no need to splash out on expensive substrates with the mosses

No problem mate, I don't know the exact measurements of the tank, but if possible a few shrimps would help keep the moss nice and clean. Ha, I wouldn't say that's controversial, of course there are plenty of options out there, the one that is most suited to you is the best one. If you like...

the clue is in the name aye :D If I was you I'd make a trip to Living waters in Croydon (I think) and pickup some mosses, I've heard they have some amazing types of mosses and the customer service is great too. The tanks small so mosses would stop most plants looking silly and massivly...

Its pretty small, why not do daily or like every other day water changes? What's the flow rate of that filter?

i favouring Seiryu sstone at the moment, where are you gettings yours?

dont use either :) just go for the root and no rock. i think it looks really smart and a change from alot of recent tanks that are wood n dragon stone or wood n seiryu. good luck

TGM's 10foot 'fallen treet' scape is with Petrified wood i dooooo believe. very inspiring, hopefully ill make the trip there soon to see it in person.
