    Square One

    Hi would anyone have a link for that lamp (or any other suggestions). I have three of the 30cm AquaOne cubes under a 90cm T5, but I would like to do a standalone nano and can't really find anything much suitable here in Australia. Looking forward to your hardscape :) Thanks

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Hi Graeme Thanks for your feedback. I'll leave the photo issue aside for now but I will chat with you again on that later. There's a few issues and ideas to follow up and I'll take them up one or two at a time. If nothing else, I've come to appreciate the benefits of patience and not rushing...

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Hi saintly I'm not on a first name basis with the 'asian scapers' yet :D Here's a pic of the hardscape from above ( with a couple of minor changes when it went from a dry run to the tank as it is now). Nicky, Byron should be really sweet in 47 days time :D Hi Matt

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Hi planter Good point. I always saw the stones as the mid ground (transition) but I know what you're getting at. I've been tweezing the Hairgrass in places to astablish a more uneven line. Also the plan is to allow the Haigrass to come a bit more forward on the left hand side to establish more...

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Might be worthwhile checking it out. I'd be happy to send stuff over once I figure out what is worthwhile growing. There's a guy in Darwin (Dave Wilson) who has some interesting plants and his Darwin shrimp are unbelievable algae munchers!! http://www.aquagreen.com.au/catalog.html

    Thanks steve. Just don't hold your breath waiting for me to get consistent photo results in the future :D Cut her out of your will James!!! :lol: I have only been up to the top end once but now that I'm into this caper I would love to go again. Are there any restrictions with plant imports...

    Hehehe It's amazing what you can achieve with a camera when you don't really know what you're doing. I was going to reshoot this before posting but I'm glad I didn't now :D Hey beeky and nicky, come on over some time. We can fly up to the top end and get our own crocodile skulls! :lol...

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Hi Guys and thanks for the welcome and feedback. I will reshoot this again in a couple of weeks and try and get the 'purple rocks' more like their natural colour. :lol: Aaron, I think you have a good point about the two stem groups - perhaps they make the scape a bit too symmetrical. I will...

    280L 'Cangai Crossing'

    Hi James and thanks for the welcome and the comments. The stones were collected from the Mann River in NSW ( at Cangai Crossing :) ) as was the stem plant. They are quite blue normally, but this time around the photo has certainly exaggerated the colour. I'm on a steep learning curve with the...

    Hi everyone, here's a pic of my 4ft tank which has been set up for just over 4 months. This is a couple of weeks after a major Glosso trim. I got the aquascaping bug a year ago and this is my second scape in this tank. I also have 3 nano tanks where I am trying out variuos ideas. Setup Date ...
