Really great tank. Interesting to see combination of anubias and buce. Need to try it at home.

Photographed some plants while they were immersed during a water change.

Really lovely tank that. Looking to you for inspiration for my 120 by 60 by 65!

With your tank size you are able to do a lot.

If I can make it look half as good as yours I will be very happy. I'm going to start a tank thread, but it will be slow going.

It starts to get a bit overgrown, I leave it for a few months more until I find new inspiration for a different layout while re-using most of the plants I already have.

Beautiful scape, i notice those flood lights you are using, what power would you suggest for a 50l cube? Ive found them on ebay for around 5 quid, hard to not buy them!

I would probably start with a 30W first, as they don't come with a dim function, but it will depend on the plants you want to grow.

This tank has been shut down and now looks like a horror show. I'm waiting for new substrate to arrive, all plants will be replaced as the next layout will be something completely different.

Looking forward to the next iteration

What substrate did you order?

Lovely scape Martin...but I guess the urge to move on and create something new is irresistible. Good luck with the new scape I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

What substrate did you order?

The substrate is a ADA like substrate, but made here in China. I used it before with good results in some costumers fish tanks, now it's time to use it in my own tank. It has been a long time since I used something else than sand.

As is ADA

The substrate only comes in one size, well actually in many different sizes, just all in one bag together. I am thinking of sifting some to get a smaller size (powder) for the top layer. Although, I might be to lazy to do this
