Thanks for the info alto. Not 100% decided on the plants as of yet. As looking for little bit of advice on the lighting to know what I can achieve on reasonable budget. My idea was some big rocks staggered throughout the middle towards the right with some different the heights. Have some sand...

Hi All, I've not long ago got a new Aqua One 4ft tank and wanted to start a planted aquarium again. My old tank was a Juwel Vision 260 that came out alright. Only big concern with this new tank is the depth. I just wanted some advice on the lighting and if it's worth it going on to LED route...

Hey c00ki3, As I mention within the first post that I'm still looking around for a centre like piece that was in my original drawing. Can always be added in later though so hopefully when I find one that's suitable I shall get it. Either looking for a trunk like piece or one that arch out into...

Just a little update with the layout. Pictures are little murky due to moving the base around a little. I think it's starting out oki, though I believe I'm still lacking a master kind of piece that was originally in my design thoughts. So hopefully come across a nice piece soon. Once the...

Hey all, So finally after a slow start and finally getting little bits together. After the introduction thread I said I'll make a journal on the forums with the progress. So here we are :) Status: Currently in cycle The Equipment & Co. Tank: Juwel Vision 260L Filter: Fluval FX-5 Lamps: T5s...

Hey all, - Currently Empty Tank - I was cleaning the tank out and notice a hair line scratch. It's not that big but I can feel it if I rub my nail across the glass. Before I do anything with the tank, was wondering what more experienced people think I should do with it. Thanks

Hey Charly, I appreciate you taking the time to put up a image for me. Looks like the tank is doing well. I can stop worrying about that :) Thanks again.

lol what the hell... what made you want to draw on a banana to begin with haha soo random

I'm liking the initial layout out. The only thing that looks a little wrong with me is the front right rock seems a little awkward. Mainly because the left hand side is all bedded in nicely and looks more natural. This may come down to the camera angle mentioned though.

I was having a chat with my friend last night about the lighting in my tank being at 2x 54 bulbs. (Adding reflectors too) Is this the correct formula regarding wattage per-gallon.... 2 x 54 / 57 = 1.8. Low-Med ? Which concern me because I think that would really be high enough? I was hoping to...

Re: Who says you can never have enough filtration Well safely say the fishes are getting a pretty decent work out ;)

Re: Planted aquariums of roslinyakwariowe.pl gallery - video wow really is truly jaw dropping. The three island one is the kind of wood/planted mixture I vision for my tank. But being new to aquascaping can only dream to get half this good! Great inspirational video. Thank for sharing :)

What money can buy :) Would of loved to see a really heavy planted tank with a tank that size.

Re: First planted tank. Me personally I think the rocks are pretty interesting spot and position. Nice and bold should make a lovely tank once the hairgrass gets growing. Any plans on fishes etc

wow thanks for sharing these pictures. Some of the tanks are gorgeous. I bet you had a great time. Pick up anything nice
