"Rust" red plant only aquaskape

[clone]

Hi, I have always wanted to try red plants only aquaskape. Now it is reality and my current progress.

The only green plant is guess what???

Waht do you have for carpet there?

 

[clone]

Caloglossa Beccarii- red moss

Nice one!
There was an epic tank called 50 shades of red which pulled off super reds very well.

The tank still needs to mature and get rid of any "nasty greens". I saw red plants tank "Dragons` Sunset" and was same green algae on the wood....probably due hi PO4. The stems are just about to start growing properly. I had some issues with my UP atomiser which was cracked so......not decent CO2, and was fighting Spirogyra lately. Both are fixed now though.
Thanks for the interest guys. Will try to keep updated.

Hi, a tiny update. Almost all greens are gone. I am very pleased the way this tank turn up.

Even the pipes are rusty!

Really unusual scape, has a 'primordial' feel to it...☺

 

[clone]

It brings some feelings, defenately.
Thanks for the comments.
Next job ....to clean the "rust" off the pipes

 

[clone]

The inspiration.... CoD fans know what I am talking about

I wish I could have some weird post apocalyptic ,zombie creatures in that skape as well......

And also this one...

You need ADA Kei stone in the scape
(or some other red stone)

I'm not sure about the "Caloglossa Beccarii- red moss" but it's an interesting concept in scaping for sure

 

[clone]

Cant afford ADA fancy stuff, mate. I would rather use my hand picked from the wild nature rock, which has better textures than Kei and red moss is actually ALGAE but it is very unusual and mostly RED. There was not other option for carpeting plant IMO. Any suggestions?
May be red desert sand will give even more bizarre look.

http://www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/maple-leaf-rock-per-kg-1658-p.asp could be an alternative to Ada kei stone, I really like the scape clone, keep the updates coming

 

[clone]

Thanks for the info, I love the Maple Leaf and Aquatic design centre have some ....probably will check.
