ha ha sorry :oops:

if you want to see a ceesy picture of me you'll have to sit through an even cheesier slideshow of my tanks, turn your speakers on! lol :oops: (i was bored and playing with photobucket)

looks fantastic mate i wouldn't change a thing for now. i like the decision to grow surface leaves on the lillies on the left. works well. encouraging to see a clear picture of a bowfront, i was a little worried about that on my new tank. looks as undistorted as with a traditional tank the wood...

yep i agree, looks much more "sculpted" and the fern works well. good job mate.

wpg uses US gallons. 180L = 39.6 UKG = 47.5 USG 75W / 47.5USG = 1.57WPG Don't get me wrong you can still get very good results at that level just be wary of plant choice as you mentioned. yeah i'm really quite excited now it's actually ordered. i've bought a new reg off ebay quite a fancy one...

i make that about 1.6 WPG, there's your problem mate, needs more light. i would add one more tube to get you to 2.2WPG, you should notice quite a difference in growth at this level. i doubt glosso will behave in your current light i would imagine it will grow upwards rather than across the...

looks great mate, glad you understood what i was rambling on about. dont worry too much about the wood. just a little off centre would be better so that the moss branch does not jut out in front of the other branches. a slight twist should at least result in other branches level with it, at the...

Ahh great i didn't realise you had a rio180 mate, same as me.. this is where i wish i could use photo editing software... bear with me this is going to be tricky to describe.. Firstly great start. plants all look healthy which is the main thing. As far as a style is concerned i think you can...

oh crap i didn't think of that seeing as i know you love it and are judging the competition. I probably would have had an unfair advantage though in that situation and i like to play fair so not to worry. not to give the game away and i know you wouldn't but has the winner been decided yet? i...

thanks guys, one of the things that helped is my annoying habit of changing layouts every 6 months or so. when you give yourself the chance to "start again" there are things you do the next time that you hadn't thought of before. you can evolve your aquascape into something more suited to your...

Thanks mate, TBH george farmer had quite a few PM's and his very helpfull replies got me up to speed very quickly. i just put total trust in him and did as he advised. i think the fact that i had no previous fishkeeping background helped as i had no existing "old school knowledge" to overwrite...

Hi There, i thought it would be interesting to post my tanks progressions from scape to scape over the 3years or so i've been into fishkeeping. it's been an interesting journey i have to say. the first pictures are the first setup and last will be the most recent. please excuse the early camera...

Thanks Zig, long time no speak hope your well mate. I'm finally online at home so should be able to contribute more from now on. Right, off to AE now to spend some ££

just google imaged that and looks spot on. it's doubled in size already. thanks george and thanks again for saturday i had a great time.

thanks for the replies. i bought some new plants today. unlabled and i dont know what they are. i have just checked tropica and they're not on there. i'll get a pic up tomorrow buy basically it's a stem plant, 15 or so stems over 2 pots, sort of like cabomba but more compact and finer leaves (if...

Thanks guys, the plec's digging is solely confined to the sand though, as i said he does't harm the plants at all. it's cool to watch him bulldozering the sand from one side to the other. i wouldn't ever get rid of him. i cant wait to get him in the 400L i'm getting soon. a sand pit is a must i...

Hi everyone, this is my 180L, planted with anubias, java fern and tiger lotus. The layout was planned with two things in mind, my 6 Sterbai Cory's and big plec who really appreciate some sand to play in and the fact that i dont have a lot of spare time to spend on maintenance. This has been...
