Here you go for the people are interested in this and wanted to see pictures :) sorry about the late reply

Bit of an update since th change over to low tech the whole tank is so easy to run and I'm still getting huge amount of growth. I am so happy I changed it over the tank has come on leaps and bounds, I ah e no algae problems what so ever and the fish seem very happy so all is good :)

This is absolutely stunning, it looks so natural I'm guessing the rocks on top are just to hold the wood down??

Those pics are amazing if yours turns out half as good you would of created a masterpiece

Looks stunning mate well done. I'm thinking of doing a small cube to go with my bigger tank

Yeah that's the best way I'm the same I don't like getting grown up fish prefer to get them young and watch them grow to mature fish :) Yeah I gathered you like snails mate lol ain't going to lie the sound of a snail with horns sounds pretty cool haha that's alright ain't it 2 for a fiver you...

here are the new updates as promised ive added 4 more harlequin rasboras 1 more cory n 3 more ottos, the tank has just the right amount life in it now not enough to look crowded (i cant stand crowded tanks) but enough to be interesting to watch i removed a bit of the ada aquasoil along the...

Mate blink looks stunning very good looking markings aswell, Tanks looking cool how do u see it looking once finished? U gunna add many more plants n fish?

Bit of an update I've decided to make this low tech from now on getting rid of the co2 due to the amount of time spent on this tank my little boy even pointed it out that I spend to much time on it n never have time for him lol so made me think I was doing to much n made realise what matters I...

Any pics yet mate?

That looks stunning, I love what you have done with the rock work, very well done very impressed

Exactly I've seen a few with a lot of wood n rocks but never really seen a well planted goldfish tank be interesting to see u do it cuz my little girl loves goldfish n I wouldn't mind setting up a nice one for her Yeah tbh that's what annoys me with my as soon as I lift it the water runs right...

Yeah tbh I reckon I will end up getting rid of the lid and getting over the top lights I like the whole open top tank, gives a new perspective and different viewing from above, yeah but we all learn from our mistakes mate no one was it right all the time

Looks cool mate what the plant that grows out of the water? Or at least slightly on the water lol I love the fish choice very refreshing having something different on here for a change :)

Thank you :) just wanted to make sure that was all lol No I didn't look at that I will now tho thanks a lot bud Cheers rich

Thank you for having a look bud

Lol there nice tanks mate only reason I got this one is because the Mrs said it goes with the decoration on the front room (only way I could have one) Also I got a great deal on it aswell from the shop only problem I had was I had to add more light for my high tech setup which was easy enough...

still waiting for my step dad to take some decent pics but a bit of an update i have added a large java fern to the wood and a pair of what i think are apistogramma macmasteri not 100% on this though

hi i recently bought a pair of apistogramma bit unsure of which ones i have in the shop they were not labled i have done a bit of research and i think these are apistogramma macmasteri just would like to know what they are 100% thanks in advance rich

Emperor Tropicals Plymouth Not the biggest but sells a massive massive range of plants, fish n tanks, also stocks all the ada product range, very helpful and friendly staff aswell.

Looks really nice that does mate goes to show what you can do even with low tech tanks

I personally am not a fan of red plants at all just don't like the look of them don't no why. I prefer different shades of greens in plants in high light, co2 setups like some could be dalr or light green, some a slight hint of red (which I like just not the whole plant) To the aquascape game...

I have a 2 year old n a 5 year old mate I have a high tech pressurised co2 system I simply put a lock on my cabinet doors my son n daughter can't get anywhere near it, don't no if this will help you just thought I'd mention it to you :)

Thanks mate :) those pics where only taking yesterday, I don't have any others I can try take some better ones when my step dad comes around he is a professional photographer he takes much better photos than me lol

Greenfinger2 thanks mate took a while to get it how I wanted it :)

Alto Thanks for the that I just assumed as the Rams are always down around the plants and mainly hidden away I would have to over feed but yeah there is always a few bits here and there that reach the bottom Yeah I was meaning to get a few but I originally got told years ago you could only...

Alto I no I did have a few setup up had to take them down when I moved BUT I am looking at getting a optiwhite 2ft tank for the hall way Yeah it seems a good size to arrange a aquascape and thank you it means a lot :) Yeah I absolutely love the way they school n the way they look they are...

Yeah the Mrs said I was only a load it if it suits the room so she had a say in the colour but nothing on the inside :) Yeah all I seem to watch while I'm not at work with my little one

there you go mate was trying to find out how to add them lol

Hi everyone I've been a member here for a few years But never really posted a journal or anything to show of my tanks so I decided to show off my newest tank (only remaining tank) It's a aquael 205litre bow fronted aquarium Size: 120cm x 40cm x 50cm Lighting: 3x 39w t5s Hardscape: Redmoor...

:)

Thank you :) and yh will be doing a thread with them very soon ;)

Yh exactly im the same always have been haha

Cant wait :)

I always do it haha my family aint best pleased but I cant help it haha

Would have to disagree with you. Emperor tropicals in plymouth are great and have just won practical fishkeeping magazine best retailer of the year. They stock all aquascaping stuff. All the seachem and ada products plus dones of plants, fish and even redmoor wood thats were I get mine

I did the same thing in my 300l but obviously the larger sizes I got good results and seemed to work brilliantly

No worries bud im thinking of setting up another tank n id love something like this

Hi im rich I just signed up a month or so ago wanted to say hello :) Ive been keeping planted tanks now for over 12 years n I suppose it all started with growing up wit my dad keeping fish tanks as I was growing up. Well I have 3 tanks a planted nano, a 180l planted praecox rainbowfish tank...

Was talking to a bloke in my local shop a few years bk n suggested it to me :)

I completely agree with you

This video is great you dont relli see this side of there aquariums much. Great insight to how they clean there tanks

This is beautiful

This tank is absolutely stunning u should be very proud, I could sit and watch this tank for hours

This beautiful I agree bogwood isnt often used as a aquascaping wood but can look good if used correctly. Saying that tho I love redmoor haha

Yh it can be expensive im lucky I have a loacal shop that sells it plus a place called the green machine here in the uk has free shipping over 75 pound and the soil comes to 105 pound so thats ok

Emperor tropicals in plymouth is a great shop. What they lack in size they more than make up for in quality they have just won the best retailer of the year in practical fishkeeping magazine and they sell everything all the ada products and all aquascaping equipment its brilliant.

Just wave the syphon above the gravel which normally will be enough to lift the mess up and out ur syphon

This looks great bet it will look stunning !!

Im in the uk and have used ada amazonia and ada power sand in tanks they work very very well imo but saying that I have a 240l tank with dirt substrate and I get good results with that aswell
