60P - The Shimmering of Light

[sonicninja]

I was wondering if it was sp. Japan or not.

 

[The_Iceman]

That's correct Alex... it's growing like hell... had to trim it already two times

 

[The_Iceman]

Small update guys

Cheers,
Chris

So finally removed all the supporting stones huh, looking good now

 

[The_Iceman]

Not all of them, still 2 more to go... The Manten on the driftwood will be placed in the middle area on the sand later on.
+ I'm not yet really happy with the placement of this small stone on the left side... changed it this morning again... Looks a Little bit better.

Removed the Twinstar, too... I don't need it + it's ugly as hell

 

[The_Iceman]

First real trimming is done.

The corners are a little bit screwed up and I cut them too low...
But it will grow back

Re-arranged the stones again... much happier now about the placement. Only the last 2 stones for keeping the DW down are bothering me

Enjoy the last day of the weekend!

Cheers,
Chris

Very nice.
But, honestly, I'm still waiting what you're going to do with that triangle rock at left side. It looks too straight comparing to others.

 

[Vivian Andrew]

Looking nice and crystal clear.

Agree with Alexander

You will not see much of this one later on... the hydrocotyle already starts to cover it hehe...

BTW:
Added a few more plants in the "mix", now the backround includes:

Rotala rotundifolia Rot
Ludwigia arcuata
Rotala ceylon
rotala indica
Rotala nanjenchan
Green Rotala (Rotala sp. „Green")
Rotala sp. Vietnam
Rotala sp. Colorata
Rotala sp. Blood red
Rotala Mexicana Bangladesh
Rotala macandra

Pics will follow when everything is grown in nicely hehe...

Cheers,
Chris

This is going really well, good job so far.

 

[Alexander Belchenko]

You have a lot of sp. in there. Hope it gives you desired effect.

 

[Crossocheilus]

That's a lot of rotala, as Alex said it could look amazing, could look too complicated, we shall see...

 

[The_Iceman]

quick n dirty (really, it's dirty) ... you can't see much of the new plants yet... as they hide under the rotala forest!
Added a second 601 unit...

Hydrocotyle starts covering places
I'm just hating the look of the weeping moss... thinking about replacing it with something else...

Classic Java? Or Willow moss?!

Ideas?

Cheers,
Chris

 

[parotet]

A second AquaSky unit? Mate this is playing really hard! Hope you got a perfect co2 performance...
Looking forward to seeing this promising rotala forest

Should work... time will tell
It's not turned on 100% of the time... only 3-4 hours.

[Robert H. Tavera]

Ii's nice, but I think I've seen it before...



I also like that tank a lot.

It's a good start but maybe in the future you could create a unique aquascape, something more personal.

 

[The_Iceman]

Hi Robert,

yes, that was my inspiration indeed.
It will have my personal touch as you can't re-create a scape 1:1 that's not possible.

This tank here is more about trying the Wabi-Kusa, which will be used for my next project, too

Cheers
Chris

Added a second 601 unit...

Just out of curiosity. Why a second ADA light? I previously read you were happy with Chihiro Aquasky and I've seen that you built an awesome LED light yourself!
