Small update I have now gone and got an external filter the eheim 2215. And had a small move about. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Where did you get the dish from I'd like to do something like this. Gorgeous to look at! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Cool! :-) Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

What a brilliant setup. Amazing how you have took that stand and tank and made it look like a 400.00 set up at my local fs. Nice hope the lights now sorted Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Small update after reading a journal on ukaps it mentioned positioning the diffuser opposite side of the filter to optimise the co2 delusion. So far so good and plants have responded well. I'm looking at a new filter but have been advised by a friend to buy a external filter but any...

Bens Dennerle 50l tank After a few years with two different types of nano cubes I decided to change to something new, something bigger but keeping the look I already had. After some research and looking at various tanks the Dennerle scaper tank came up and looked like a good option so I went...

This is a gorgeous nano set up. I'd love mine to look like this! You thought of changing your tank for something bigger and if so what would you go for if you've thought about it anyway. Watching the thread either way

Keep it as it is. Very very well done a good project

What tank is this dude it's lush!

Very nice tank an interesting layout too! I'm watching

Hello guys a small update The tank has been through some changes and I now have co2 in place. The kit I have is a waterplant co2 system that works very well, it's very sensitive to set up but once set its ideal for a nano tank. The tanks starting to settle now and I dose lush daily. The fish...

Photos photos photos

Cheers will do tomorrow

So I closed my tanks down and now have the chance to restart one. I took one of my opti-whites and started a fresh. Same principles as before I want a low tech tank that I can mess around with and not take too much of my spare time. I used the fish from my previous tank and intend to sell...

Thats what my signature is for

Thank you dude!!

thanks for the quick reply, the Dracula fish made me laugh! is the Boraras micros related to the tetra fish at all? Apologies if I'm asking silly questions.

As the title states, does anyone know the smallest type of tropical fish?

Re: An old photo - My old planted Biorb 105... 'A Dome of Gr looks alright to be fair, i started off with a biorb they seem a good idea when you start off. Best one I have seen though!

Surprised you don't have more comments to be honest. Love the blues from the fish on the green background adds depth to the tank. In the lower right of the tank it needs something going on, maybe the growth of the plants will change me so keep the updates coming!

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner' Boom would you look at that! It must be hard to balance corner tanks evenly when going for a centre piece, did you find it difficult to get it right? Look ace good outcome!

Hmm I know how you feel about taking photos of tanks it does my stew in when the lighting messes with the aperture and you get a blue or tinted image. Are you using a phone to take the pictures?n I know a few poeple that don't like dense growth in tanks but I have always favoured the look and...

Re: a noob tank "RTFM" agree with the above would look good with some wood or something to fill the negative space.

Small update. This thread is closed now as the new tank as above is more of a side project to my optiwhite, still love the tank but its not my main focus

Love how you pre planned the layout and almost got it exactly as you first layed it out, thats attention to detail :lol: where did you get the wood from? Over time when the plants grow it will really give the tank a contrast in colours. Apart from the fish you will restock what else are you...

hello from Plymouth, Devon!! This thread makes me want to go grab a piece of the moors and recreate it in my tanks!

its got to be photoshop and some layers, looks like an epic set up though, great colours throughout.

this tanks weird ha ha. I think the quality of the photos let it down but i like it, and i like the cat! maybe slightly to the right a little more but looks great, you mentioned no liquid co2, what are you currently using? Would be good to see some more photos 2! :D

very different layout, reminds me of some local scenes on dart moor, the way the rocks jag out and look unplanned is something you don't often see.

beautiful layout looks great, will be good to see some fish soon to even the scope out.

ha ha! next day off then!

Off you go to the shop then for me. Cheers :-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

The tank and the tank before it has always been fine. It only gets sunlight for about an hour and thats it. I have to keep my eye out to catch the reflection as it goes so quick. Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Re: DIY ADA style 60p Cabinet/Stand meets Exotic wood from O Wow the grain and colour is exceptional looks like its melted. Looks awesome keep the updates coming. Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

bump due to update

Re: Japanese Balcony Rice Paddy (Part 5) Boiled shrimp? love this project, closely following!

interesting keep it coming, would be good to get some underwater shots 2!

Re: Bens Nano Optiwhite

epic little tank, what lighting unit do you have also?

I have one of these tanks for sale at the moment if you are interested we could arrange something

Re: Japanese Balcony Rice Paddy (Part 5) Boiled shrimp? what an awesome project. nice to see something different like this. Why that design for the substrate? Simply because of the planting?

Re: Bens Nano Optiwhite Another small update after three weeks, (morning photos) Decided to take some pictures this morning instead of the normal night time shots. From above: Love the mix of planting colour as well as the Eleocharis parvula sort of in love with this plant, would love...

Re: Bens Nano Optiwhite Small update on how things are looking after a week and a half.. Plants seem to be taking root now and will be due a trim shortly. New light unit is also in place.

Ladies and Gentleman.... I recently posted a journal of two Nano tanks that I was reasonably happy with, however it has come about that a optiwhite tank has fallen into my hands built by a fellow ukaps user and friend Jackrythm. from the previous thread a couple of users suggested that one...

I had to empty the tank and re wash all the plants. nothing has returned yet hopefully. I noticed when washing the plants tiny larve on top of various leafs.

This is how one of the tanks ended up, a complete remake of the rebirth process! The other tank i have decided to make a new project as an optiwhite came into my possession so look out for the new thread! I will update in the future to show development.

thanks for the feeback guys i have removed all plants and rock and washed them thoroughly. also found a few eggs on plants. really appreciate the feedback. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

thanks for the feedback guys i have cleaned the tank and took all rocks out and plants. found a few larva attached to plants i hope i have got them all. if not it will be a complete start over or adding carbon as a friend suggested. or i have heard using white spot medice can kill the...

I don't believe it, but i think i have the same problem!!! I noticed one today!

Hi guys I have recently added two things to my tanks, one some ohko rock that I thought I cleaned thoroughly and secondly some plants. This is what I found today: It looks like some sort of dragonfly larva, what can I do to get rid of them. I have only spotted one but I wouldnt of thought is...

problem and it looks like this!!! :shock: does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it? i removed this one from the tank and this is the second tank that I have. The only new thing since this was set up is a couple of plants. Whatever the thing is it has been in the tank some time, I...

Savage. Do we know where they are coming from? Are they linked to a specific plant or supplier?

Plant list: staurogyne Parvala Mono solenium Ammonia so bonsai Anubis Nana petite Totals rotundifolia Weeping moss Are all possibilities for the two tanks

Looks great. Decided on what shrimp to use?

Re: Cube Re-scape "Behold! A nugget of purest green!" What a stunning tank. Love the layout!

Re: a noob tank "RTFM" Boom totally agree with the above. Post some pics of the progress

thanks for the feedback I will sort it out tonight, It has happened before when they were moved.

what happened to this? is it still running? id love to see the difference over a few years. I love low tech tanks this has worked well a nice range of color!

got a slight problem with one if my plants, done some research and it looks like others on here term it as "melting" what can i do to make sure it stops and doesnt happen again? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Re: Andyh's Journal "Green Beach" Update 07/09 what an awesome layout! cannot believe the development of plants at day 15 that's nuts! The color of Ammania sp bonsai is lush! Any further developments? And where never seen that type of otto before!

hows the tank any update on what plants you went for?

the second tank Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

just a small update, heater is now not so large. i have a bunch of plants in mind for this tank. but still undecided. using Tapatalk 2

Just read this from start to finish. What a brilliant thread! I love how you have started something and then just changed it! Brilliant. The final outcome is looking great. I have the same tank, two of them. Did you know though pets at home did a recall on that light unit for a fire hazard? The...

Re: a noob tank "RTFM" Heya dude. I'm no expert at all this but looking at the pictures this is what I have come up with lol. The foreground looks catered for and the Rock placement has worked well with your plants, however with that size of a tank you need to cover that negative space above...

Ha ha no. Its for Louise. The betta fish thing

ha ha dude I am just looking at staurogyne and seeing if it is low tech?

how long have you found it to last?

Just to confirm that this line has been discontinued. Whatever stock is left on shelves is the last. If anyone finds anything like this as a replacement please email me! I have two but would like one more!

Hmm I think it is standard pelia. No idea to be honest.

So is there a thread for the best low tech carpet plant?? Lol

Hey dude. I have the same tank and was wondering where this project is now? Did u invest in co2 or ?

Re: Tonys 200l "Horatio's Cave" Simple and looks lush. Love the layout design draws your eye through the tank

Looks great. What's the plant center left?

Hmm what will happen in a few weeks then? Do u recommend any other low tech plants?

Keeping this post for a future update

Looks great

Hey dude. Would be good to see s shot of the whole set up if possible. When I used bog wood I per soaked it to get all the tannins out as it makes the water a murky brown but apparently fish like it lol. Check out my thread of two small nano tanks. You may find it of interest. :-)

Cheers guys thanks for the info

Hello all, as always another long time reader first time poster. This isn't my first set of tanks but more of my first serious attempt setting up a planted tank. I have been keeping fish for around 9 months in various tanks. However recently I have been interested in planted aquariums but cut...

love it, I have something like this in the works!
