    sams 60cm 'Pinnatifida Peak' (4.5 weeks)

    Re: sams 60cm 'life in the undiscovered stones' Putting rocks vertical does not make them unnatural.But this kind of designing needs some attention. What important is visual speed,proportion,balance,unity and simplicity. -------------------- Sam, You are a nice curious person.I am quite sure...

    A red faced person can be considered healthy.But a red face is the sign of a illness most of the time.(Like when you have a fever) -Some Echinodorus tenellus (E T) species growing in aquarium can be dark green or brownish.But these ET's are very sick and they will die if it goes on like this...

    Hi Tekla, -There is intensive lighting.This is one major cause. -Providing nitrate and phosphate from substrate where Echinodorus tenellus are,should help to solve the problem. Regards ilaymir

    Saintly's 120cm 'hill's of desire'

    Hi saintly, -My Nov. 26.2009 dated post was a reply to George Farmer's message he wrote about me.But later this post deleted.(probably by a moderator). So it was not about you. -Your tank really looks good for a beginner. You put me in a nostalgic mood...

    Saintly's 120cm 'hill's of desire'

    Above, what I mean by "no comment" was that changes in the tank proved what I wrote before was true.Why are you so sensitive about this? Everyone may not write in English in a tactful way as you like.I do not want to offend anyone but I like saying my words clearly.If I don't like something(or...

    90x45x45 "Llyn Peninsula"

    Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" -Rocks have good shape.But the scaping of them is very classic. -In such tanks where the ratio between rocks and the tank is not big,having a "flat substrate" increases visiual volume. -If it is wanted I can show it with a drawing,though I don't think such a thing...

    Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Hi Saintly, -The rocks are beautiful.Layout is also beautiful.If the left side was a little bit higher, it may look better IMO. -When you have such nice looking rocks,focus should be on them and too much plant prevents this.It think the number of plants used...

    FoF 2009 UKAPS Display Aquascapes

    Hi George, -What I wrote are my general thoughts about the tanks. I said "I believe in you" because I know that petrified woods are quite suitable for tanks. But then I trust t my own experiences and observations.Because these rocks are not that innocent. As petrified woods take form they are...

    Hi George; The tanks are small+Some of the rocks are quite large+There is little water The rocks used, looks like easy to dissolve in water.Especially the iron compounds they contain, oxides easily and spread out particules all over the tank.That is why in such tanks water changes and cleaning...

    Selection of unsuitable materials will effect the continuality of the tanks. Mistakes done at the tanks -especially ones about rocks- will return as brown blanket. Regards ilaymir

    "Serenity Peak" Mark's 60cm Iwagumi

    Re: "Serenity Peak" Mark's 60cm Iwagumi UPDATE 12/10/09 The rocks are nice but the lay out is not that good.Front side of the tank closed too much.On a plain substrate, a lay out like the following one would look deeper and more aesthetical IMHO. Regards ilaymir
