Hi all

Im back on the journal now. Really miss posting my work here. Life has gone crazy in the past few years. I actually got in the hobby more since my last post. Done some work with fluval thank to my good friend @Dan Crawford and been to many workshop to see @George Farmer and filipe oliveira and along side with aquaflora. Got to see the big boy tank at oceanarium lisbon twice also my favourite trip to see adam paszczela at his ada stuido Poland. I have made a ton of new friend who in the hobby. Shout out to chris and Ralph.
So i been really busy last few years.

The beginning of this year 2019 i decided i wanted to give this hobby a break due to having to many tanks. MTS and it felt like it was more like a job but even though i enjoy it, i felt like all my free time was trimming and cleaning and never actually sat down and enjoy the tank.

I wish i ran my little ADA gallery a bit longer it would of look awesome. There was 7 tanks in total thanks to the green machine putting up the sale it gave me to many crazy ideas :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Here are some pictures before i broke down all the tanks

This one was fun to do. I found the baby groot on ebay and had this idea to put plants inside and let the grow out. Got nearly 50k like in a few days on my Instagram Instagram ryans_aquascapes :)

This was running for a few month. It was looking super amazing untill one day i forgot to plug the filter in and all the fish got white spot. I treat the tank which made it look blue and i couldn't do water changes. Algae then got to the tank which at that point i took down the scape. Sad times

Yes mate. Glad to be back? How you tank doing?

Cheers

Very cool. Is your float switch keep turning off and on? Friend told me to put a small spong in to keep the float upward so that the skimmer is always on

No I haven’t had any issues. I just keep it clean. Will look an see if I can make mine act up. Mainly the switch is used to keep the pump from caveating if sponge is stopped up or when you do water changes.

Hi

That great news mate. Once it start going just trim and replant soon you will get the hang of it.

I normally leave mine scape alone it changes all the time. Give it a 6month and see later if you still want to rescape

Cheers
Ryan
