So are you going to put some more pics up now the tank has had time to settle? All my plants have arrived this morning so my scape is getting closer!
Thank you for those kind words. Yes the Blxya/rocks set up is very pleasing on the eye.ceg4048 said:Hi,
I love the interplay of the Blyxa against the rocks. Also it was very clever to select the narrow leaf type plants.
It's extremely difficult to get flow/distribution to the far lower reaches of such a tall tank, so you've done well to get Blyxa to respond as happily as it has done.
Cheers,
Cheers Neil, Im just sat enjoying it with a nice cappuccino,[ hiding from the wife.]NeilW said:Really clean and vibrant. Original scaping too. I can see its based on an island composition but to me where all the hardscape and plants are condensed it looks like a 'showcase' of aquatic plants; almost like an aquatic equivalent of a very impressive flower arrangement (hoping that doesn't sound like a bad thing - I like it a lot!). Must be lovely to look at for real?
Have you tried pruning out the old crypt leaves with the algae on?

Its defo had a growth spurt since i last saw it, Once the cyrpts at the back fill in a little more it will look excellent!
What livestock do you have in there?
Cheers Matt, we speak again.bigmatt said:Yum! That looks amazing with the halides! Such a tall tank is crying out for a few angels...but i am a bit of an angel nut!
Cheers!

Marinehart is a relative, who has just set up a 5ft planted tank, and was going for Altums, but backed down. Despite my encouragements. So he is giving me a bit of flack, with my new set up.Garuf said:It would but the tanks far too small for altums. Even P scalare would find it a bit cramped I reckon.
