Krish's 60cm Rescape - 31 Week Old - Countdown to AGA

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 8 Week Old.

Hi Everyone,

Not much has changed yet but I hope in a few months it will start to change a bit with the bush at the back, HC Carpet and the Crypts.

Day 61
IMG_8580.jpg
On the weekend I am going to thin out the Crypt "Green Geko" and Pogostemon Helferi might have some up for sale if anyone wants it.

Here my little edit on paint of some things I want to change/add to the scape over a few weeks.
Tank.png

Red Circle - Hygrophila Pinnatifida its too distracting for me in the middle of the tank so I am moving it into the corner.
Green Branches - Fissidens fontanus is going to be added to make it feel more of a forest feel and I think its a great moss.
Blue Branch - Weeping Moss is going to be added there so i can see it "weep".
Orange Branch - Moss I want a new moss that I dont have in the tank. Any recomendations? Please?

Thanks for looking an please leave feedback,
Krish

P.S. I clean out the Powerheads and the Filter Inlet Pipe 😉

I like to do weekly updates so that I can see how the tank matures each month.

Thanks for looking and please leave feedback,

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 10 Week Old.

Hi all,
Looks really good, watch the Apistogramma with your RCS. Mine have had a lot of live food and they love eating cherry shrimps. Other people have kept Apistogramma and shrimps successfully, possibly because they have fed theirs exclusively with pellets. It is worth getting a Grindal worm culture for some live food, both your Tetras and Apistogramma will eat them with relish. The cultures are ever so easy to care for and cost pennies to keep. PM if you can't find one for sale (should be some sellers on EBay).

You probably already know this but the Apistogramma are actually A. macmasteri. A. viejita is probably not present in the hobby in the UK at the moment. Do you have a photo of the female? They had both "species" for sale in our local MA (the "viejita" were £17.99 a "pair" (better coloured and all males) and the A. macmasteri £12.99 a pair (and included some females) . I asked about them, and the manager said that is how they come in with the redder ones labelled as A. viejita.

cheers Darrel

Hi Everyone,

Day 83

IMG_8680.jpg
I have moved the middle branch upwards and I think that it makes the tank look more open. Add some christmas moss to the back branch and also addded some weeping moss.
I think that i need to trim the bush more to shape it out, i hope that the middle part starts to bush out more.
I am also thinking of adding some Red Nose Shrimp and maybe some Crystal Red Shrimp.
I having some problems with flow in the tank casuing BBA and straghorn algea any help getting rid of it?

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 11 Week Old.

Try bumping up the co2 and giving everything a trim, I don't think it's flow related.
 
Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 12 Week Old.

Hi Everyone,

As for a name for the tank i was thinking of calling it "The Clearing" what do you think?

Day 88
IMG_8704.jpg

I am having a battle with straghorn, BBA and thread aglea on the moss any help please.

Please leave feedback and help,
Krish
 
Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 12 Week Old.

Looks great krish, come along aint it! The amount of moss is really cool, and I like how you've trimmed the p.helferi.

I agree about binning the HC, go with glosso itd suit the scape and in my experience grows like a weed 🙂 as for the bba thread and stag, there's a good article on the algae thread that sums up why your getting each one, keep picking it out untill you find the cause.

Where is the clearing!! Haha I think you should play more on the planted area for a name.

Oh and sort your inlet out haha
 
Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 12 Week Old.

Hi Diogo Matias,

Thanks, the powerhead... The cardinals have gotten used to the flow of the tank. Other wise most of the other fish are fast flowing fish.

Thanks for looking,
I'll put an update on tomorow,

I growing the bush for another week to reshape it.
I have added the HC yesterday, hopefully it goes well this time...
I have Rhizoclonium gorwing on the moss, if i add more shrimp would this help my problem.
I have also notice there are a couple of cherry shimplets in the tank now looking blood red 😀
