Re: Six years of 'scaping I agree!

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase this is exactly the reason we got going in the first place :) Graeme's hit the nail on the head. Everyone should be very proud of all their hard work.. without the input from all our members we'd have nothing to look at or read.

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase ahhh course :) looks stunning. It has a very unusual look to it with the Microsorum in front, a very good look though IMO.

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase thats lovely George.. whats the red plant? it looks amazing

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase they are truely amazing guys.. some incredible work there for sure! Dont worry Chrisi :) Ill never be anything like half as good as that either :) but its still nice to do our little bit huh? :)

:lol:

once you have a decent substrate your Vals will spread like mad, so you could make a feature out of that, in the background middle maybe. I actually really like what youve done with the hardscaping as it is :) but it could do with some more midground floral interest on the left.. but as it...

lol good point :) so yes, i guess it is!

thanks loz :) its nice finally being able to just tinker, and not be sorting out issues!! dosing about double IE now, to cater for the high light. its thriving.

no its a normal tiger lotus, just heavily managed

ive moved a few of the swords around as they needed more space, the E. Rosa are amazing plants, surprised not many uses them, incredible variation of leaf colours.. ive taken out most of the vals as they just got too annoying and i fancied a change. the only other plant im not sure about is the...

Novermber 07 (for reference) December 07, 4 weeks on. Moved a few things about.. the E. Rosa has matured into its submersed leaf form which I think is lovely. The glosso is going nuts. few things moved around for better space.

thanks for all your comments :) although Im extremely good technically, I find it hard to 'create' sometimes.. this is the first time i can see potential in a scape ive done :) will be fun to watch it grow up

After a month of being very unhappy with how it looked, not only due to a fert imbalance caused by me actually believing my water company, Ive decided to rescape.. and added some nicer plants as well.. here goes. Obviously, needs to grow in alot yet. Ill post pics as it develops.

intreging :) i might start cutting mine with rain water as well, now were getting some! Ive actually started turning my temp down as well to aim at stopping a bit cooler, I think ive been over cooking mine for a while.

I really love your scape to Tom. I really like the contrast between the deep greens and the slate coloured rock, works very nicely as a focal point. Are you on fairly soft water? Only reason i say that is your java moss is flourishing amazingly well. I struggle with java mosses in my hard stuff.

wow what a cool post James :) looks like you really cracked it early on :)

lovely tank! what a lovely angel fish too James! I had to get rid of mine cos they ate all my riccia! I see what you mean about your pleco digging, thats my only worry about putting one in, I dont think i will. Its a shame, I used to keep them and I miss them.

Thats lovely mate :) I like how youve really banked up the substrate at the back to get the depth of field. Lovely

hair algae, black brush a tiny bit (dying off now), bit of diatom, bit of gda in small places and a bit of green slime on surface plants. I basically reduce lighting by about 1/4 which will slow the system down, but keep EI at full whack, do 70% water changes weekly, or if possible 50% x2 a...

Early days yet, getting things stable before I turn up the lighting. Excuse the scratching post on the tank :) cat loves it there! This is the tank that Ive replaced the bottom of after an end to end break (previous owner) due to a badly made cabinet that Ive since repaired. I also made the...
