It is with great joy and pride that we announce the return of Vivarium:

I have seen our good old Dutch Style in many different kind of tanks, and I am sure it can work. It will make the impact of the famous "streets" even bigger. But it's a pitty this has come to an end, definitely one of my favourites here.

A great journal that has resulted in a stunning scape. The bad part is that we never get to see the final FTS untill judging is done, bit I bet it is worth the wait. Good luck on the contest, the judges should have no other option than to score it well.

Sorry for the late reply, but better late than never.... Myself I love every style, as long as it is done well. I mean, I can love to watch at a biotope tank just as much. The Co2 distribution is mostly linked to the filter flow back into the aquarium. Filtration differs from tank to tank...

Sad to read this topic. Apparently another great competition runs down into the trap of cheating and unfriendly competition. In this case, resulting in one of the best European scapers to not enter anymore. @Mark, in any case you are a champ and the scape remains stunning. Can't wait to follow...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 getting close to the end. Feedback on ste Wow, it has been a while since I took (or had) the time to scroll through the recent journals. I bow to this scape Mark, stunning work. Regarding fish, definitely not a combination of Gouramies and kardinals; have you ever tried...

Thanks for sharing guys! I had great plans to go there myself, but this time I had to choose for the family which had planned the anual trip in the same week.

stunning piece of wood!

Welcome Laza, I have seen your stunning pico's/nano's before; but your bigger tanks and saltwater are stunning a well! Truly an inspirator!
