Re: Saintly's 120cm latest scape Very nice wood, and a crackin mound :D do you always do it like this, create a rock mound and then add the wood, i had never thought of doing it.

Re: Saintly's 120cm latest scape :D Im excited!!!!

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" that's my kinda problem with iwagumi's, the fairly minimalistic look can be incredibly beautiful but to intrest me further, ive added a few different plant species and keep on changing things, getting some fish helped the boredom too. :thumbup:

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" i agree with the above, :clap:

They still have the "weak" feel to them i think, im not sure, how well do tetra's fare in hard water tanks?(i presume mine is, never tested) I may just go with something like neons, easy to get a hold of.

embers sound nice. thanks mate.. i will look into them :thumbup:

not sure what to go with then, i hated the boraras, just too small, and weak looking...

I think ive decided which species of fish im going to have in my 35litre now :D White cloud mountain minnows, does anyone know how well they will shoal, and numbers to aim for in this tank? Adam

I'd like to see the bill if you brought 70 in one wack! :lol: plus, like you say, it would put strain on the filters.

What numbers are you gonna be talking with the fish, Mark? Myself, ive always wanted 100 strong shoal of a fish, one day maybe :D

Thanks for you help yesterday, James too.. co2 sorted now i think, a nice lime green for lights on, ive put flow right up, and ive removed some of the hair algae, gonna spot dose with liquid carbon tommorrow too :thumbup:

ok, well like i say, i will see how it goes... no flow issue at the mo, fish getting sucked into filters is my problem.. ive just added an 1200lph pump to the tank, aswell as the 600lph filter, i will turn, turn, turn it up! :D

so, i will see what happens tommorrow with an hour earlier, you dont think i will need to go an hour before that do you, 4 hours before lights, that would be ridiculous Thanks :thumbup:

ok, ive just switched my co2 to come on an hour earlier, im not sure if this is normal but, my drop checker does this: co2 on: dark green 2-4 hours later: green 6 hours later: lime green is this bad, as i say, ive switched it to come on an extra hour earlier, so 3 hours before lights, as it...

i will get looking for some, thanks.

edit: and also, would mts turnover corser sand, my ADA xingu sand is pretty much the same as gravel

Thanks for the help, im gonna see what it grows out like with its current trim and then go from there.

cheers, i cut my rotala back hard a few days ago, but i was wondering if i should have just it right down to the substrate, to show all of the new growth.

Hi Mark, i was wondering if you are able to point me in the direction of a guide, or an article about pruning plants, i want to learn how to prune my stems correctly and shape them into what i want. thanks

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" The rock is absolutely stunning, like nothing i have seen before, the purple kinda reminds me of a marine tank with coraline algae- that was meant in a good way :lol: It contrasts so well with the different shades of greens you have going on, well done mate! Adam.

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape I wonder, are you really in a position to be telling Saintly what he should be doing with his scapes'? I think not :wave: :evil: keep it up Mark :thumbup: I just trimmed my stems yesterday, went a bit radical actually :oops: the bit thats at the bottom...

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" stunning :clap:

and me, do you just go bannanas with the scissors :lol:

ok, cheers mate, scissors at the ready! :lol:

Hi Mark, how long does it take for rotala rotundifolia to turn to its submerged, more narrow leaf form? and anything that it particularly likes, or that i can do to get it looking 8) thanks Adam

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape awesome, i thought it was rotundifolia, ive got some coming soon, hopefully, thanks for clearing that up mate Adam.

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape very nice indeed.. whats the plant in the background that looks a if it is growing roots on the stem, and is that normal?

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape i have had a similar experience with r.wallichii, i presumed mine didnt take off becuase of the lack of light :crazy:

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Even though immature it still looks sublime, Mark. :clap:

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape It did chance names, cant remember which way round personally :lol: I just get confused

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Great moss :) tbh I dont mind tying moss stones, maybe that many would get laborious, but i find it quite enjoyable :lol:

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape wow :D looking forward to this

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Sorry I meant in the fore, the sandy/Gravel substrate

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape What is the substrates you have used with this Mark?

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Awesome! I must try some stems behind my rocks, i like your take on an iwagumi very much so

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape ah, Mark, you tease, got me all excited then :lol:

:lol: @ James

lol :lol:

I'd just like to say you are such an inspiration to me and no doubt to many others, i stared in awe at 1 picture for about an hour :lol: , this tank has given me so many ideas and makes me want to get planting :) every picture is amazing, so clear and crisp and while your aquascaping talent...

awsome, cant wait to get my cherrys now!!
