    30cm cube tank

    While the UK may be small it is made up of very different rock formations through the lifetime of the Earth. The tip of Scotland and Northern Ireland and some of Norway have travelled from being next to what is now Canada. Other parts of the British Isles have travelled from being trapped in...

    30cm cube tank

    I like the light stand but I moved into an industrial kind look a couple of years ago. I think the black (is it?) and straight lines add to the overall tank aesthetic here :) From this picture I could see it as in the ADA gallery or a feature in a magazine trying to tempt people into the...

    30cm cube tank

    I would never setup a tank like that with stems front to back.....but maybe I should because that would look lovely in my living room. The colours go so well together in there, and the varying heights at the front does something really nice to break upt the pallet. From the front I guess is...

    And this one is the star of the show. Abouut 6 inches tall now from the stone it is tied to and has 3 branches. Little flower growing on the top there I think. Thats it for the photos for today. Plants are due next week and I'll plant them as they arrive. Dose Easycarbo daily when that...

    And finally the Buce was pretty much "plug and play" in that they are all tied to stones so I could remove them quite easily as their root structure isn't like Anubias. So I took them out and put them in a gluterhaldehyde bath for 5 minutes and then put them back. Here are some photos of the Buces

    And that means of course new tank photos. Water still a bit mucky but here goes. The larger Crypt on the right has been taken out and moved behind the boulder on the left. I want to fill out that left corner to a more triangular shape like the right side from right corner to midground...

    I'm still spamming while the enthusiasm is there. I have been known to take photos and then take 3 months to post them up!! Crypt Balansae is out. Anyone wants it they can have it for the shipping price. 2 days until it gets binned :D

    Just looked through your link there and maybe Lincoln breeds boring old farts that like the same stuff. Although looks like you have a little more drive and motivation than me :D

    p.s. The Crypt Balansae is coming out of the tank today. Any takers? I'll trim the leaves off so it will just be some very established crowns as the leaves will melt anyway.

    Shattered Tree 2 - 2019 - This was just shattered tree reworked after I had moved house. A few changes but I remember this was really hard work as I had zero interest yet continued to try and force motivation to keep doing it which made me hate it even more. This is where the Tropica substrate...

    Hi guys and gals, I'm GreenNeedle. Remember me (Not a journal) Journal.

    "Shattered Tree" This started in 2017 and uses the same manzanita wood but I see here are where the cobble stones / boulders came in so they are the ones in the current setup. It is also where I went back to Cardinal Tetras so the lone Cardinal in the current setup is 6+ years old!! I also...
