Path to Oblivion

I hope I can get my 4ft looking that good

Oh Dantrasy, I bet on it

Ahoi UKAPS,

nothing really new here:

Status after one week starting dry

Growth is for sure slower than in Aqua soil, but at least it's growing a bit.
Plants are all in, but I have to wait 2-3 additional weeks before I'm trying to fill it with water.

Cheers,
Chris

Stunning little scape.. Now thats what nano is all about.. Perfect sence of scale.. The title reminds me of an old argentinian song called "El Arbol del Olvido" (the tree of oblivion) I guess the path leads there..

It goes some like this.. (free translation)

In my land there is a tree, named the tree of oblivion.
Where they go in desparation
vidalita
Those dying spirits
And not to think of you anymore
So i went under the tree of oblivion and i took a little nap
I slept verry well, when i woke up from this dream
Again i thought of you, because i had forgotton to forget.
vidalita
Just before i fell asleep..


And I have forgoten to forget this song..

Love the scape.
Sense of scale and depth os great.
Good plant choices make this a stunner.

Ahoi UKAPS,

my 12l one is going quite well.

One more week to go! by Christian Witt, auf Flickr

I can see roots shooting into the sand by looking from the side and riccardia is covering the background nicely.
One more week and I'm ready to flood this thing.

Cheers!
Chris

Hi Chris, One week to go

 

[The_Iceman]

Hey guys, thanks

As always, couldn't wait anymore.

Here's the picture 2 minutes after flooding:

Day 1 - Flooded by Christian Witt, auf Flickr

Overall I'm a little bit disappointed, as the flourite sand isn't as stable as ADA Power Sand for example, so I lost a little bit of height in the back and some moss got loose.
Well... it will grow back after time... so "let's wait and see" again

Will wait 2-3 weeks and then I have to clean up the sand and add some more details to the sand path "to oblivion".

Hope you like it!

Cheers!
Chris

Hi Chris Love it I am sure it will all come together in the end

So far

Hi Chris
Love it

Großartig Bengel xD

Cheers

Hi Chris, Any updates

 

[Anagorn]

Love to see some updates as well, looking very good!

But I've got a small question:
Why do you still use Seachem Flourite Black substrate? In the end, the only thing visible will be the ADA LaPlata right?

How are the plants after flooding? Interested to see the FlexiMini's results, as I have a tank of very similiar size that may be set up this year.

Cheers!

 

[The_Iceman]

Hey guys,

yes, the tank is still running.
Will make some shots in the next days and update the thread.

Easy going one, with no big issues.
The FlexiMini is doing great, but for this tank size, something bigger would have been better.

Cheers,
Chris
