Here is the "lifted up" variant:

Thank you for the quick reply. To be honest I do not want to use stem plants - they demand too much trimm and also I do want to keep "stone horizon" clear. We all know that Knott`s tank with UC: It look gorgeous ofc, but it also pretty high (it could float up occassionally?).

Hello there ukaps. It`s been a while since my last journal (2015?). I was too lazy to update it, so here is the pic of day 51 of the tank: Now it is gone. Here we have new setup (actually ordered a complete set of stones): So I have a few questions for you. First: should I add sand...

- Just filled up. Sorry for the fishing net in the corner.

Alright, planting time! Here is some pics just before filling the water:

Here is update in layout: - played around with the 3rd variant - adjusting supporting stones. So far like it the best. How do you like it? I should get my plants at 6th of January - so I could finally plant it down. So we still have few days to adjust stones - small one in the left corner...

Greetings fellow scapers. It`s been a while since my last journal. It was 125g tank which is empty for about two years now - I have to get a new room - so forced to abandon it. And decided to shift into the smaller dimensions - main reason was the size of the stones - you have to get really big...

Sorry for delay in posting - I have troubles with filter. 2260 is weird machine. Yeah, it have insane power for it cost..but is super bulky, hard to prime sometimes, pretty noisy. Yesterday I have troubles with pump (guess silicon ring get damaged, so it caused leaks, fixed it with silicon-tape...

Here is some planting process pics: - HC - its on the metal net, not in wool - was pain to plant 5 such units. - Tweezers resting on the cliff watching far islands. - Planting Barge on duty. Filling it with water at the moment. Got to set filter ready, connect lilly pipes and CO2...

Finale So here comes the final version. Played with left side a bit - most important - moved small stone to the left, feels more natural now. Added another 10 kg of gravel. I`m about to plant that baby: Photos of the planting process incoming.

Another day - another setup:) Praise be to the Photoshop. I tried to combine two parts - "good" left and right from both of previous setups..and find it to my liking at last. Well, only thing I miss in new right side - is big badass stone, but - since it was half-burrowed - I was able to...

Re: Version 2.0 (beta) Thank you:) Well, I have tried different variants today - even to combine new left side with "old" right side - nothing that could satisfy me. So there is version 2.1 - I have replaced supporting rocks in left and right sides. Also, added some gravel. Should I add more...

Version 2.0 (beta) Here comes version 2.0 (beta - may add some small rocks and more gravel for sure): Looks "simplier" and stronger I guess.

Here is slightly modified version with more grouped up rocks: Like it more so far.

Yeah, that could be a problem. I guess I should get them a bit up. But it`s okay if some of the lesser ones will be covered - it was the idea. Thank you!

*smiles* Thank you. So far planting plan is pretty simple: HC all around and eleocharis at the back. I`m bit scared to put a mix of HC, blyxa, riccia, hairgrass etc - cus it could get mixed too much one day. For example: http://www.pbase.com/plantella/image/35433519 - really looks good, but I...

Stand pics Here is the some pics of the stand: Don`t be confused with the absence of the filter - 2260 is chilling in the bathroom atm - getting cleaned for duty. Well, idea was to make a ADA-style stand - I`ve ordered it in one little company - they make different furniture - not only...

Greetings. As I promised in my introduction post here is journal. A bit of back-story. 125-gallon rimless tank, made from opti-white low-iron glass(all but the back side) - in our region(Russia) we still do not have all ADA production - especially bulky things like tanks and stands. So I was...

Hello UKAPS! I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ilia and I am from Russia, Moscow. I`ve been reading this forum for a while. So far I find it to be the biggest among English-speaking fresh tank forums. I`ve been a while at APC - but it seems quite inactive last time. So I decided to...
