Re: 90x45x45 has arrived!

Hardwear is awesome Stu, I still love my 60cm/tank from Aquariums Ltd. The light setup just sets the whole thing off :thumbup:

Re: 90x45x45 has arrived!

Cheers mark, congrat on the win :D another £50 toward your new nature setup :thumbup:

Ive been out in the wet today cutting stones with my dad. The main stone on the left was too big for the tank so we took a stiyl saw to it. The middle clump was the bottom of the main stone on the left but it split into three when being cut off. Its put back in place with gaps in so I can grow some stuff out of it :)

heres the work so far. Ive yet to put some graded gravel around the bases so it may change again slightly tonight

Awesome stone stu! i know you'll change it about a bit, so looking forward to the arrangement. this looks slick though.
 
Re: 90x45x45 has arrived!

Where's the stone from, Mate? It's really really good stuff!

Cheers mar, I think Ive got a final layout now with a few small additions and ive brought the left stone forward a bit plus added AS powder so its a bit deeper. Im keeping things high though in expectation of 1cm of HC.

Thanks gareth. the stone was from a quarry I passed on the road from Porthmadog. I usually pop into quarries if ive got time when passing on the off chance theyll have some rock suitable for aquariums. I got lucky with this one as it I got about 2 boot loads for £10 :D (the guys on site wouldnt take any more!). Its a mixture of green schist and a black/blue slateish like stone, its also mostly in pinnacle form though so ideal for our needs. It was dug out of the Llŷn Peninsula so Ive decided on this name to reflect this.

Excellent rock placement Stu :thumbup: , this one's going to be stunning once planted.

Cheers'

Ta andy, Id have loved to do something like that but think youd have to be REALLY luck to get rocks to create the same view. Im quite chuffed with these as they arent quarried rocks, they were removed from the surface near a sewage works that was being expaned. You know the type of rock you walk over on trips up the mountains and think "that would be good in a tank", these are the same thing :)

Its two batches of the Manzi wood that Tom Barr sent over for ukaps. It will be going in my 60cm soon then probably in the 90cm in the future.
