I'll remove the tetras from the aquarium but in the mean time I've cloned them out of the photo to see how I feel about it. =)

Ah, yes. Dependent on the planed longevity of the layout I suppose I'd make different selections and amounts in regard to stocking. A long term hardscape aquarium is 30-60 days at most in all reality. My planted aquariums rarely last longer than that before before the itch for something...

Most certainly I can see your point of view. I'm glad that it at least made you stop and think about what you do and don't like. Thanks for the perspective. Can you be a bit more specific about the fish? What fish seems to be too plentiful? When viewing the tank in person it doesn't appear to...

Not that I know of. I can try an in-line dimmer on the unit and see what happens.

More and more often I setup a layout with every intention of planting it but feeling regret as I do. Once the hardscape is complete I feel as if I'm having a miniature funeral as the first stem is placed into the soil. Obviously this passes after a week or so as the aquarium begins to fill in...

Hey Ed, I'll have to dig that up again or take a new reading. The information was supposed to go live to ReefBuilders but never did.

My Flickr account had some issues. I'll look into finding the original files and upload them once again.

I'll add comment to this thread once I post my aquarium related review of the 5D MKIII. Leaving this with you as reference, I've owned a 5D MKIII since the day the camera became available. I've owned all the Nikon D3 series cameras since switching to digital. No longer do I own a Nikon...

Kessil A150W "Amazon Sun" review I often forget to mention these things, at one point in time I did work for a lighting company (Ecoxotic). Right now I'm working with a coral retailer in the US, but this has nothing to do with lighting or aquarium plants. I gain nothing from my reviews other...

I have some PAR tests underway, but they are all going to be used in a Reefbuilders.com freshwater shoot out. Stay tuned as UKAPS will be the only other place that information is be posted. We will see soon, I've already got something in the works! Agreed, some might find it interesting...

Here in the USA, about $270.

I couldn't agree more, but lets be honest, some of us are really bad at DIY :lol:

George, Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad I could be of help. You are correct to say I am in no way affiliated with Kessil, directly. I was fortunate enough to get a unit through a friend and after testing I'm happy to say I will be purchasing/keeping the fixture. As for the photographs...

Mike, I did make a small bump in ferts and CO2 output as the plants "looked" as if they where getting more light then my previous 2 bulb T5 setup. Even with the shadows being more defined I believe there is more PAR in them after the switch. I wasn't fortunate enough to have my good friend...

With the recent introduction of many plant aquarium specific LED light fixtures hitting the market, I couldn't see a better time to review one that has a lot of buzz circulating it. Being one of those guys that is eager to adopt new technology for the better of my flora, fauna and over all...

Hey guys, it appears that the discussion is going well, I'll read through it all and will contribute soon. I've had some recent medical issues and have not had the time to get back on UKAPS.

Honestly I think you hit the nail on the head so to speak. UKAPS certainly has an interesting way of keeping things positive, it must be that European charm! I will be eagerly awaiting how the OP applies this advice.

Simply stunning specimen!

I like this idea, do you have a good example of what you'd like to see? Essential you are saying we need to get back to the basics of design and force the layout less? More of a natural development with a stronger emphasis on plant placement and selection?

Hello friends, I'd like to start a discussion, if interest allows, on the topic of aquascaping in the future. More specifically the near to very near future and what trends you'd forecast. Over the last few years we've seen an explosion in various aquascaping techniques being adopted by the...

ceg4048- This is one of my first times venturing around on this forum. I'd like to thank you for actually taking the time to point out very useful and helpful information. I realize this is off topic and I apologize for derailing the thread. I'm just amazed how this type of post is actually...

Well where are the pictures of your beautiful Discus? Oh and lets not forget, welcome to UKAPS, I'm sure you'll find the answer to your needs here.

Hello and thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm glad to be here, not sure why it took me so long, I can only assume I was overly consumed with work. Let's hope I can attend an UKAPS event soone then later, we are trying to visit that side of the pond this fall/winter.

Thank you for the kind words Mark. I only hope that I can learn from this great group of people and contribute any way that might be useful. Best regards

Hi everyone, I find formality with an introduction via the web strange. All the focus on me and I and my is a bit overwhelming, but here it goes none the less. My name is John Ciotti, I reside in Los Angeles California, US. I'm a designer for one of LA's largest interactive agencies and a...
