Long since I made an update now. This is a slow scape and it needs more time to grow in My other tank, hi-tech cube

Beautiful! The stones added really made it look balanced! Great work! Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Depends how flat it is.. Try placing the tallest rock on its side instead. And make the middle stone the tallest by adding more substrate. Take the soil from left corner and let the substrate slope from where the middle stone is placed. This is something you can just try [emoji4] Skickat...

I'm personally not a fan of rules and styles. Art isn't something you can say "this is right and this is wrong" in my opinion But there is some guidelines that really will help and I think that you need to work more with the way stones are placed rather than what is the most interesting...

Play with just these two rocks till you find something that works. Maybe add a third rock. The main stone should not be facing that direction. It doesn't make it look big enough. Try make the flow to one of the sides and slightly to the front for a more dominant impression That's really nice...

I think you could find some more interesting angles out of the stones. All look so symmetrical now. My short tip: Go back and make a new hardscape. For most of the times it's easier to start with something new and fresh rather than trying fix a bad scape. If you don't like the new scape you...

I think you should worry more about the texture of the stones rather than the color in this scape. Tank dimensions looks really promising and your hard wood top is beautiful [emoji1303] Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

It was a tank like this in the latest Vlog by George Farmer on the tube. Take a look and get some inspiration Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Cool! Will follow this Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

A pic when it's flooded Still only mobile pics. Will take some better pictures with my camera some day Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Finally planted! I've been waiting for Dennerle a few weeks now. But I decided to only go for Tropica plants. Anubias Pettit Bucephalandra sp "red" Fissidens moss Riccardia moss Hydrocotyle tripartita And two other mosses that came with some cherry shrimps. I'm not sure what species...

Thanks! Good to know! I have now painted the bottle with spray paint to prevent this Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Found these on internet 0,1 ml / pump so perfect for my nano and looks pretty good too Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Thanks guys! I'm actually using these syringes today but would like something even less time consuming. Like a bottle with a pump head that gives about 0,5 ml. But if I'd like to dose 0,4 ml... Maybe syringes is the best choice Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

How do you dose liquid carbon in smaller volumes? Like <1ml? Anyone using something else then the measuring cups provided? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Questions about PAR and low tech I'm thinking of use the Flexi mini led instead. I have made an extender for the light. Now it is 10 cm above the edge of the tank. This will give me 22 par at the sand and between 30-40 par were the plants will grow . But at the top of the driftwood there...

Kul med fler svenskar! [emoji4] Nice scape also! Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Nice recovery! This is so encouraging for me to read. I had a beautiful tank a month ago but changed the light and got massive melt and after that massive algae outbreak. If it wasn't for all the money i spent I would have liked just to throw it out through the window Skickat från min...

Thanks for your feedback! I hope so too [emoji4] What do you think about my selection this far? Not sure I want any stem plants... I want this scape only to be like "ah that's beautiful!" and not "I really have to trim those stems someday soon..." Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

I think I have decided what plants to order and here's a pic of the species. Don't know if I will use all of them but my other tank might need some also.. And here's the final hardacape. Now I'm using unipac Nyasia sand with a touch of ada Congo sand. Have moved the hardscape closer to the...

I have just changed my lighting over my 30l cube from a pair of leddy smart to one Flexi mini led. Going from 980 lumens to 690 lumens 8h/day, my plants seems to struggle with the change... Marselia crenata Trident fern Is this normal? This pictures are taken today one week after the...

Yes that's true. But maybe I should have a better contrast between stones and sand... Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

I have added a bottom layer of ada Congo sand + some random playground sand. I was going for a natural feel. I'm not sure I like the look though. I will soon have some unipac Nyasa sand and Silica sand that I could try. Please let me know what you guys think Skickat från min iPhone med...

Ok! Thanks for the tip [emoji4] Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

The wood is pre-soaked actually so floating is not the problem [emoji4] The glue is for stability and prevent the wood from sliding only. Maybe I will go for some H. pinatifida.. as you say it will complement the wood and stones. But some vallisineria would follow the upright feel from the...

Added the wood and a new set of stones to the tank. Wood is fixed firmly with hot glue As I mentioned I will plant some anubias and buce. But I'm not sure what to put in the background. I want the driftwood to be the main focal point but maybe one bigger plant to add some variation. I'm...

Short update! Santa brought me this beautiful little tank at christmas eve yesterday. Up here he comes one day early probably because we're closer to the north pole... Really well made. There's nothing to complain about. And merry Christmas to all of you! Skickat från min iPhone med...

Thank you all! [emoji4] Yes I know.. This scape would probably do better in a cube but I have a plan B an that is to have focal point at "the golden ratio" instead of in the center of the tank. That should help I think.. Don't remember the height of this hardscape but the tallest piece of...

Ok, this is not my first post here but my previous account have disappeared.. Not that big deal because I haven't used it that much anyway. My name is Joakim and I'm from Sweden. I'm going to set up a new low tech nano tank in some weeks. And I would love to have you with me on this journey...
