Thank you very much!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi folks! @kadoxu Aaahhh.... That Video... ;) @Kezzab Thank you very much! @Bolota The moss mud method does only work in combination with a drystart. If you want to flood the tank from the first day on, you can pin down pieces of moss under little stones or in bricks in stones or wood. Or...

Thanks a lot guys! They said that?! Mmhh... Did not know this :D

Thank you Tim!

Hello folks! How are you doing? Long time nothing new from me, I've been busy with a lot of things and work. But I want to show you my latest nano tank that won the live contest "The Art of the planted Aquarium 2018" in Magdeburg / Germany. I'm still very, very happy about that! Here is the...

Thanks a lot guys and happy new year!

Thanks! Yes, the plants grew in well, but there is still some way to go until it's like I want it. I placed the stones like a puzzle... Or Tetris. There are just 3 or 4 points where I fixed the stones together with glue

Hi there! I'm very sorry... First I promised to update this Thread, than I forgott it. :angelic: But there isn't much to tell... The tank is running for 4 weeks with water. The plants took a long time to grow submerged, two weeks or so. In this period the tank did not look really nice, but now...

Hi Danny and thanks! Yeah, I will fill it up with water this weekend. I'll give you an update when the tank is running. Greetz

Thanks! The Hardscape was build without sand, I filled it in after setting it up. So I think it should bei fine when the tank gets flooded. Of course the sand will slip a bit, but the stones will not... I'm really sure ;)

Hi folks! Longer time nothing new from me... I was busy and there was a lot of work to do. But two weeks ago I finaly started a new layout in my 90x45x45cm opti white tank. I used 60kg of dragonrock (not dragonstone / ohko), also known as OK Rock Nr.2, to create this mountain scape. The...

Thanks a lot! That's the point. The tank was running just for 8 weeks, so I didn't want to put fish in there. For some weeks there have been shrimps in there, but for the Contest you had to get all living animals out of the tank. And no... We don't have restrictions like that. I could have...

Hi folks! Long time nothing new from me. So I wanted to show you my nano tank that ranked #4 in the nano category at this years "The Art of the planted Aquarium" in Magdeburg, Germany. I hope you like it. Final full tank shot: This photo shows the tank at the contest. Thanks to Stefan Graf...

Hi there! Great job! The new setup looks much more like an aquascape than the old one. I like that! Keep it going! :thumbup:

Hi folks! long time nothing new here. Unfortunately this tank isn't running anymore. I've ripped it down for a new project. But I'm very happy and proud to say, that this layout placed rank #3 at this years AGA Contest in the category 120-200l. Unbelievable! :D...

Hi folks! Long time nothing new from me. I just wanted to mention that this pico placed rank #3 at this years AGA Contest in the category <28l. *BAM!* I'm unbelievable happy about that! http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2016/show13.html If you're still waiting for the DIY manuel...

Hi folks! Thank you very much for your awesome feedback! I forgott to say that I'll post a detailed DIY manuel of the mini filter here. I've taken a picture of every step. The only problem is time. When I've time, I'll post it. ;)

Hi folks! How are you doing? I had a big surprise this week, my pico scape placed #188 at this years IAPLC. Well, I havn't expected that and I'm really, really happy with that. Here is the IAPLC picture Unfortunately this tank doesn't exist anymore. I've ripped it down a month ago because...

Hi there! Thanks a lot! @Derek113 The tank stands in an Ikea Expedit shelf @hogan53 I'll post a detailed DIY manual when the filter is 100% ready. But here are some data about it: The pump is a x-fan mini water pump -> link The casing is a sugar dispender (brand Zack) made of stainless...

Hi folks! Some time has passed, so here is a little update. The tank is running with water since a week. My mini filter is not 100% ready yet, but operational. I've to change the hose attachment, this is improvable. I'm really sorry, but I can't show you new pictures of the tank, this would...

Looking very good and healthy. This one is running without co2?

Hi there! Thank you folks! :thumbup: @LondonDragon Thanks a lot! ;) @rebel Yes, I trim the moss with scissors. I try to cut the moss as near as possible to the surface of the hardscape, this way the moss don't get too massive.

Hi folks! Thanks a lot for your awesome feedback! And here is a little update. Some time has passed by and the layout evolved good, but make your own mind ;)

Hi folks! Thanks a lot for your feedback! @Martin in China I'm not sure if the tank is big enough for shrimps. Appart from this shrimps would destroy the perspective @Dr Mike Oxgreen This is a IKEA lamp, it is named Jansjö. It is a low light spot, only 70lm, but it seems to be enough for...

Hi folks! I wanted to show you my current pico tank. It is a 20x10x10cm tank filled with white sand, red/black lava stone, Riccardia, HCC and three sprigs of my very tiny Micro Anubia. I'm planing to build a DIY mini filter for this tank. Until I got this filter to run the pico with water, the...

Hi Chris! Uuuuhhh damn it!!! I haven't seen this layout until now. Big mistake! I like it a lot, really great shape and nice, healthy colours! I'm excited about the final shot ;)

Hi there! Happy new year to everybody! Here's a little update... the cyanos are gone, but there are still some tiny green algea. But the tank is on a good way.

Hi there! Thank you very much for your superb feedback! :D Unfortunately there is a little problem with cyano bacteria right now, but I'm confident to get rid of it soon.

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback! Here is a little update of this one. The tank is running with water for two weeks now without any problems.

Hi there! On saturday the dry season has come to an end. The tank got flooded! *Yeah* So what do you hink now?! I'm really happy with a 100% filled tank ;) This is a picture right before "sunset"

Hi there! For me the drystart method is a regular feature to start my tanks by now. When you do it right it is a very easy, low work way to get your tank running... without algea. One more advantage... you can go on holiday and your tank evolves itself. Once I've been on holidays for nearly 3...

Hi there! Wow! What a brainstorming... :) The tank will get filled 100%, I'm not planing to make a paludarium. I must admit that the idea isn't bad. But I want to run it as a aquarium. I've had some paludriums in the past and did a lot of trails with emerged aquarium plants, especially with...

Hi there! Thanks a lot! @REDSTEVEO Of course do I want to retain the scale. I'm planing to keep very tiny fishes, something like Borara uroptalmoides or B.brigittae. There will also be shrimps, but very unobtrusive ones. Probably Caridina simoni simoni.

Hi there! Drystart is running for 10 days now and the tank is evolving very nicely. Used plants are: - HCC - Monte Carlo - Riccardia spec. - Fissidens fontanus - Crepidomanes malabaricum - Bucephalandra (only small leafy plants) - Anubia bonsai "Mini" (?) - Cryptocoryne "Hobbit"

Hi there! What's the size of your tank? You're dosing 5ml EL Provito but we don't know the amount of water. Are you dosing any other ferts? The photo shows an algea that turns up if there is a lack of NO3 and / or CO2 in the starting phase of a tank. Moreover this effect gets boosted when there...

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback! @Dantrasy I'm really sorry, but the stone in the upper left corner is glued with the stones around it. So I can't take it out. But I've allready arranged some small stones around that big one that it doesn't look that noticeable. You'll see at the next...

Hi guys! Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll report about the development of this layout ;)

Hi there! Summer has come to an end, so the new season has started for me ;) Last weekend I've started to set up a new layout in my 182l optiwhite tank, size is 90x45x45cm. Hardscape is Ohko stone (ca. 70kg of it), substrate is Dennerle soil and bright sand. The plants will come next week, in...

Hi there! Could also be Micranthenum umbrosum. If you want to be sure you have tho wait until the plant started its submerged growth.

Hi there! DHG will grow after some weeks to its naturally size. Frequently trimming doesn't affect the speed or size of its growth, but in my opinion its getting denser.

Hi there! Really cool setup! It appeals very harmonious to me. But the IKEA LED is too weak, even if you put a second one there for every tank. I think this won't work. You should use a stonger Lighting.

Hi there! Really nice scape! I like the way you used the Hygrophila in this layout.

Hi there! Thank you very much Roy and Steve for the nice feedback! Of course am I sure. This was one of the special things in this tank ;) And no, there was no blue green Algae in it.

Thank you very much!

Hi Jim! Of course do I have running tanks or had other layouts in the past. Some of them you can see at my homepage ;) Hi Roy! Same to you! ;)

The tank was running at home and I brought it there. Mmrpf... yeah, ok. Should I change my Avatar?

Hi folks! Thank you very much! Yeah? Why?! I didn't want to name it as ordinary as the most scapes. A lot of shrimps, an attuned fertilization and some maintenance ;)

Hi! I hope so; )

Hi there! This is my first aquascape from 2010. This layout placed #83 at IAPLC 2012 This layout placed #139 at IAPLC 2014 And here is one more... this layout got printed in the Dennerle Aquscaping Guide

Hi there! I'm new here, but wanted to introduce myself with of one of my latest tanks. I named it "Scape that blahblahblahblah!" and it won the live contest "The Art of the planted Aquarium 2015" in Hannover, Germany. Happy with that ;) It's a Dennerle Scapers tank with size 40x32x28cm, volume is 35l. The...
