Not really a forest scape like this again. But I loved it for sure! Just don't wanna do the same style over and over again. Although I start a new nano tank this summer which gonna be with wood and mosses. The 80cm tank is gonna be a valley with stones,woods and small details.And thnx!

Hey Nigel,

Did you get a replacement for your power supply?

Hey, yes it works fine now. :)
 
Moving on to mixing my own ferts. It is cheaper and have I more control to get the values that I desire. Going for an ADA approach with more PO4. Gonna make three bottles. One with N/P, one with K and one with micros.

Love your tanks Nigel.

It's inspired me to do a forrst scape next in a spare ADA 30cube i have. Just trying to get hold of some right pieces of wood. Not sure how much more difficult it will be with a cube dimensions tank

Thank you!

I am not so fan of cubes. But possible! I prefer tanks with more depth than height. Gives wider appearence. But still my tanks don’t really have that dimensions. But I never had a real cube.

Pieces are hard to collect for forest scape. Lots of sniping in stores and need to saw.

Big pieces In front is important. If you cannot find big ones try to combine multiple pieces and put moss on connections. And Tiny roots is important for detail work to make impact.

I just bought some “Nice” tree pieces last time when I was hunting for Seiryu at different stores. Wish I Found this pieces when making my first two forests! Not planning a forest now again but Maybe in future

It is hard. I also need to drive a lot
to good stores. For good hardscape you need to visit lots of stores. Not just 1 or 2.
