Hello, no the soil was Tropica soil and it rarely got additional fertilisers. I used the apt line when I did fertilise. Cheerio.

Thank you. Not really 🤷🏼‍♂️ they are only e line lights though and they max at 85% intensity for only 2 hrs of the photoperiod so the lighting intensity isn’t that high. If they were brighter then it would be more of an issue I’m sure. Thanks 🙏🏻 From the front a few days after trimming...

Thank you. It has evolved along the way but this topiary style of trimming really works with the shapes of the rhino stone. Current view tonight…. Cheerio,

Thanks Paulo. I always plant some cut tops back into the bush. That way the cut stems still maintain a mature look. That’s about all I can say :)

By way of a little update this 600 is still running 😃…. Cheerio, Ady.

Hi, @George Farmer was doing a workshop at my local @Horizon Aquatics a couple of weeks ago and stopped by for a quick chat and run around of the home tanks. If anyone is interested in seeing some of the issues I’m having and the tanks he has a YouTube video out linked below :) Cheerio, Ady

Ha yeah, it is really, I’ve got fish art and an image of my previous tank. I’ll be adding to the pictures with more images of my scapes…. Yeah love the rocks, great shape, colour and texture. Haven’t created a journal yet….. thanks Garuf, I think if I were to do that I’d need to add another...

Hi, thanks, it’s an ADA lightscreen with blue to white graded film. cheers, I think the lightscreen helps with that effect.

Hi, thought I would share my most recent scape. I didn’t have a name for it as I haven’t done a journal so thought of one fast…..I guess with only two main stones :eek: it doesn’t conform so in this instance, ‘two’s a crowd’…. This was supposed to be a fill in scape (hence no journal) but it has...

Looking very lush in there now John, great job.

Hi John, nice to see you here :) Tank is looking great, impressive growth and a really nice entry back into the hobby. Ady.

Sorry about the dwarfs, unfortunately they seem to be a weakened strain nowadays. Honey gourami are a much better option. Cheerio,

Always room for just one more.... https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/always-room-for-just-one-more.62448/ From this, August 15th 2020: to this, 13th October 2020:

Well done. Excellent plant growth. Only thing I would change is the front most branch bring a little close to the front glass looks a little unnatural and will make maintenance a little tricky. One thing I know for sure, this is a lovely planted tank, let alone a first planted tank :clap:

Lovely set up and interesting about the twinstar over the aquasky. Are the photos with the Ada light or the twinstar please? Ady.

I love the rock too, old river stone is one to look out for in the future. Great scape @beny_81 :thumbup:

From this.... Dec 2018 ......to this..... June 2019

Nice tank John.

From this: to this:

Looking good Arron :thumbup:

Looks great Bertie, well done that man....and his understanding wife :-)

I agree, a very nice looking tank, and very good for a first scape :clap: Perhaps the new tall elecharis sp. or vivipara would have suited better than the vallis though....easily trimmed to shape around the rocks and smaller leaf blade structure. Cheerio, Ady.

im gonna stop, it just doesnt make sense. I appreciate the fundamentals, but tanks such as these and many others seem to simply defy all logic in that sense, i suppose thats where experience and 'magic' come into play!....or perhaps its sheer volume acts in many ways like the shallow low techs...

These tanks are truly incredible! Id be like to be a 'minion' working on tanks all day! Lovin' the special 'ADA' grande exclusive range of cut bottle on the end of a broomstick, cable tied tweezer extension and scissors on hedge trimmers tools ;)

Absolutely fantastic. Congrats Ian and Adrie. I'd like a Michael at my house! :) More specs would be nice, tank size, lighting, turnover, fert dosing, maintenance etc Stunning scape and plants.

Hi, Tank looks great :) Maybe add more brown crypts at the base of the wood pieces to transition nicely with the hardscape and green plants whilst adding a bit of colour variety. Maybe also try using some smaller floating plants as I tend to get drawn to them rather than what's below! Like I...

Very nice! Unusual rocks, what are they? Also what fertilisers regime are you using and is the co2 on 24/7 or timer please? :) Cheerio Ady

Very impressive first effort indeed! Cheerio Ady

Beautiful and incredible plant health.

Thanks mate, will see how this years fares :)

Much appreciated Dean :)

Hi Delta, You can still access the journal ( Fluval Studio 900...'Dragons Crypt' Journal finished. | UK Aquatic Plant Society ) although the tank has had a few different looks since Dragons Crypt. CO2 was a 2kg pressurised system with various diffusing methods initially with an in tank ceramic...

Welcome to the forum jy_oc_hx, Nice tank, MTS (Multi Tank Syndrome) gets us all :) however search the forum journals and you'll find a multitude of excellent corner tanks with all the info on how to get the best out of them :) Members Ian Holdich and Gary Nelson are particularly adept at scaping...

Looks great Occean. Why not start a journal up to document your journey for both yourself and others :) Cheerio, Ady

Cheers for the kind offer, but as much as I love it, I have other plans for my tank at the moment.....it would be a bit too big :) Thanks again, Ady.

Very nice :) Looks like the crypt balansae is getting a good hold now......lovely plant. Cheerio, Ady

Thanks very much, staurogyne doesn't grow for me for personal reasons....I've given it much co2 and much flow, it just doesn't like me! Lol I also think your title is inappropriate, you already have aquascaped :) the little tank in particular is very well thought out and executed. Cheerio to the...

Hi Dave, I think you underestimate yourself, both of those tanks look stunning! Cheerio, Ady

Hi, great progression, all the plants look very clean and healthy. Did you add an extra rock? looks better balanced now with the one further to the right. Cheerio, Ady.

Impressive portfolio, I particularly like the one titled 'untitled', very natutural plant integration. Cheerio, Ady.

Nice tank, love the pentazona barbs they look stunning in numbers, do you find them to be a goodcommunity fish as I'm fancying some. Cheerio, Ady.

Nice job Owen :thumbup: looks like your a natural, ill look forward to seeing more of your aquascapes. cheerio, Ady.

Excellent, nice to see aquascaping in progress. Really like the final result :clap:

....And a Siamese fighter top left. Lovely looking nano, Sponge bob is very Oliver knot...... ish! :)

Yeah i know what you mean...no pun intended! If you look at the stone formation as a whole it appears quite central but when broken down into individual rocks it kinda covers all the hot spots. Great looking nano none the less and pristine as are all of your scapes. Cheerio, Ady.

Cheers :thumbup:

Great choice and use of plants, and does look like a stone throne. As the name suggests, are the shrimp really wild cherry form? Just personal choice, but i think if the 'throne' were slightly more biased to the left or right it would be even more appealing to the eye....it was probably placed...

Thanks all :thumbup: Will hopefully have something worthy to enter next years :)

This was such a great tank, the mixed carpet was na at its best and the fist sized mosses on the branches were awesome. Great photo :thumbup: Cheerio Ady

Like Ian, my first IAPLC entry and im really chuffed with this ranking too. Tank looking very overgrown and the photo wonky :roll: .... even though it was the hardest id tried for a photo :lol: Cheerio, Ady.

Ah yes, I see them now, I spend too much time looking at a tiny phone screen instead of the larger computer screen! As a side where are people finding the results listings?

Wow, great photo Ian and congrats on the placement :clap: Where are the fish?

From this (Oct 2011): To this (May 2012):

Re: New to UKAPS Very nice.

Top post Mark :thumbup: Im exceptionally frustrated at the moment and this post is exactly what the doctor ordered. Cheers, Ady.

Great little picture log Ian. You can definitely see the improvements over the time line too, although each of them are nice in there own way. Some lovely looking scapes, cant wait till ive got a few more under my belt to be able to have a portfolio 8) Thanks for sharing, maybe more people...

Hi there, you can ask any question you like in general planted tank discussions, and find help on technical issues such as photo posting in the 'technical help' sub forum :thumbup: You can post your own threads in each sub forum by pressing the 'new topic' button at the top of each page...

Wow, really nice looking tank, and an impressive start into the hobby, you must be well pleased with the results :thumbup: I love crypts, ferns and mosses, and balansae is one of my favourite plants. They all look exceptional against the crisp rock lines which seperate them from the fine...

Congrats on the pfk article, i opened this months magazine and was like... i know that tank!

Its a beaut George, the plant species merging together so naturally mean you have to really look to see whats actually in there. The glowlight danios suit it a treat and sit perfectly in the water column. The cpd's offer a bit of intrigue as you have to search for them!... id have been terrified...

Hi troi, any links to that tank please as i would like to read more about it again. I remember seeing it before but cant remember what it was called or if it was a journal. Its a beaut. Thanks, Ady.

+1 to that, stauro looks amazing and HC too :mrgreen: . Wheres your 60p Journal Nathaniel? :wink: Cheerio, Ady.

Re: Planted aquariums of roslinyakwariowe.pl gallery - video Enjoyed! First scape is right up my street, love it. Is that the only flow/circulation in that tank all the time? Fissidens in the last tank looks lush, and the close ups make the shrimp look massive due to the delicate plant choices...

Re: ADA Mini M Really looks good, especially like the adjustable feet for levelling, great idea. Now you just need to get the tank on it and the scape going! Cheerio, Ady.

Re: ADA Mini M Looking pretty slick!.... the benefits of being a joiner :wink: . If you got it sprayed at a garage it would cost quite a lot, and you would only really benefit if you were going for a gloss look, the colour you have chosen is nice and subtle and wont detract from the tank and...

Re: ADA Mini M Looks great Whitey! Do you use tap water or RO or a mix? Cheers, Ady.

indeed you do, great looking set up.
