There is a piece on the living bridges on channel 116 on sky now. This will highlight just how realistic this attempt is. Excellent work Hamza.

What a fantastic story behind your reasons for doing this. Perfectly executed as well Hamza. Amazing looking tank. The sense of depth you've created on the left is terrific. Using HC in the foreground to simulate brush or possibly a field, with the trees over the back of rolling hills...

Excellence.

Would be nice to see some photos when you can get them up mate :)

Any metal halides?! Thanks Victor, shots are amazing.

I'd love to do their job!

Understood, but in the enclosed environment, when it comes to tank maintenance, the aquarist could unwillingly displace said anaerobic bacteria and this would cause problems. Less so in a stream or river which has millions of times more volume than the aquarists tank to absorb any threat such...

I think that I this instance their questions on 'prevention of Anaerobic soil' is directed at fish health as oppose to plant health.

Thanks for sharing. Ive seen the monster before, but its nice to see a maintenance side of things. Just shows how much hard work goes into keeping the Aquascape looking beautiful. That's Dedication (or money :lol: )

Now, Thats a planted tank. What a lovely look you have going on there. Well done :)

Inspiring growth there! Looks amazing mate. Well done.

Nice! Yeah, I would love to make them for other members. To make one similar to mine though would be Pretty expensive in wood alone :(

Love this mate, nice one! You planning on getting some more species to grow emersed? I've fancied trying it with a bonsai, obviously with modifications. Maybe some 'wicks' hanging from the basket, pulling a little water up rather than being sat in it could work?

My skys okay! But I like it :) Good job! Looks very natural compared to the 'over scaped' tanks that people do. You need to get posting more often.

Thanks mate :) its all changed now.

Hey Naz, Yeah its astronomical! I think the whole cabinet here cost me just shy of £50 all in. I did pick up a few pieces such as white paint on the interior up for nothing from our workshop. Wasnt a bad build, and still going strong today :)

Thanks mate, this tank is completely stripped down now and is a CRS tank which can be found Here Also, Currently juggling another cabinet build, on another tank, which can be found Here Cheers,

Hey mate, nice to see you've finally made it! Its only been.. Months! :lol: I really like your tank as it stands :thumbup: Welcome along anyhow, do you work in a fish store then?

Just look at those textures! Ooof! :P

That's exactly why we're all here isn't it! To learn and develop from one another, to better our previous attempts. I trust there is, he has a fantastic knack for it as of course do you! The rest of us are trying to make it somewhere near :D Well done on the placement too mark, and also on the...

I like the photos sharpness. Compliments the scape Mark Evans has taught you well :D

I'm the same Ady. I actually prefer Tapatalk to the proper site though. Just easier to see new topics & Participated topics. :D

Oh sorry :P

Well done mate. Ady, you can see the RNT's at the front bottom right. Looks like texture on the rock but its their heads :lol:

Flipped image photo shopped Jack :lol:

Re: ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Right guys, any roots on these Stauro by the way and size on this HC carpet ha! All going in bin because, I kind of half neglected tank while I scaped my other and HC was covered in Staghorn Algae. Almost got this tank stripped down now ready for the...

Think this deserves a real overhaul. Let me think about it while I get my 600mm going :)

Looks to be Hydrocoytle sp. 'Japan', otto mate. Looks well!

Most people cut their tap water with RO water to provided the level of hardness they require. Or some minerals are available if tap water is low in TDS too. Such brands as mosura have Mosura mineral plus to bring the TDS into an acceptable range. Regards,

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Ah right, i love stauro. :)

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Hey chris, Thanks very much. Am I right in thinking your having problem with Stauro yourself? Just playing around with 'instagram' on my iPhone and edited the photo, got this with the Lo-fi setting; Regards

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Hey AL, Thanks very much for your kind words. New layout needs tweaking I think. Ever so slightly. Regards

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Kinda guess its too late 'arry! ;) Rescaped it sunday night. Smashed the dragon stone to better pieces. Think the Stauro and HC look well. The roots of the Pogostemon erectus were desperate for a thin out, they are still behind the rock but cut right back...

Okay sowiii :(

No Co2 used, but yes I agree about the ferts. What would you class this as then? As I havent had to trim anything yet really, and its been 5 weeks ;) Just showing a lowish maintenance tank. Hope thats alright :D Regards,

I also forgot to add, that my Lighting would probably be considered as high and along as you supplement with easycarbo as per bottle, and with an all in one fert ( or EI ;) ) then you should be okay. Wouldnt reccomend high lighting without a carbon or fert source though. It will be like an...

:)

Thanks George, I was suprised by how bright and white the colour of the light was compared to the fluorescent bulb in an ADA mini M. Colour of the LED lighting looks very edgy and sharp, Im hoping with a heavy ryuoh stone / manzanita hardscape this should give a nice effect. Regards,

Stunning george, Im a fan of the Stream or shallow pool effect that this gives. I also saw the close up details too and loved this relaxing scape. I also have just invested in a grobeam, should be good to see how it performs. Regards

Emergent Pogostemon 'Erectus'; In need of a trim I think! This is how it is growing, in no way did I yank it out or drop water level from normal position (within reason due to evap.)

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Thanks aqua! :)

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Hey tim, Thanks very much. Ha that would be a good challenge! But yes, petrol/diesel is fast becoming liquid gold. Im going to begin a cabinet for my 60x40x40 soon! Similar ADA style. So will journal that, might help out a bit. Regards,

Pretty Impressed with the overall results; Pics are appalling quality, as I used the 'HDR' Setting on my iPhone. Otherwise the light overpowers photo, meaning you cant see the cabinet.

ADA Mini M & D.I.Y cabinet build. Hey, Thanks ady, yeah like i said in message its a good feature with rimless tanks full to the brim. If anyone is interested, rather than conventional kitchen unit legs which are between 136mm and 175mm, these are Shower tray legs. Which are very sturdy and...

ADA Mini M Thanks very much andy :D

Re: ADA Mini M :lol: Thanks very much Iain. Have a go! :thumbup:

Re: ADA Mini M A few more pics from today; Bits still to sort, for example doors not quite staight and the plinth needs fixing into place. I know its just another ADA build, but I'm happy with the results :D

ADA Mini M Thanks ady, Yeah sometimes its good because Everything is to hand, and knowing a few tradesmen also helps with other stuff! Yeah I wasnt wanting anything too dramatic in regards to gloss finish. Prefer a slightly duller sheen. I picked this grey as i believed the intensity of...

ADA Mini M A couple of pictures following this mornings first coat, just incase anyone is watching this thread. Pretty happy with the grey colour. Its 'Rust-oleum - painters touch' in a 'Stone grey Satin' Planning a rescape of this tank when I get it on its stand in a couple of weeks...

ADA Mini M Taking my time with the cabinet, getting plenty of coats of undercoat on before I put my topcoat of silk light grey. Looks like a nice colour from test. Will upload some more photos soonish. Heres one to show general shape;

:lol: True,it is a shame. Great looking tank !

Re: ADA Mini M Im on with an ADA style cabinet as we speak for this tank. Don't know if I will be doing a journal though! :P Got a bit of a quiet afternoon here at work so got all components cut already, hopefully get main box structure complete before I leave. Im thinking a Pewter or...

Yeah, looks absolutley stunning! I would love to see a recent Photo. Regards

Re: ADA Mini M Hey Ady, I use a 50/50 mix of North Yorkshire water. Which is hard ha. About 300 Tds out of tap. When I lived in darlington Im sure the water was a lot softer there. Regards Nathaniel

Re: ADA Mini M Yeah kris, I love its appearance from up top, especially when its sitting just below the surface and has a purple red colouration to it. Looks like little sunbursts :) As for the glassware Cal aqua pipes are quite commonly used on Mini Ms because of their size and look great...

Re: ADA Mini M Hey Pariahrob, Thanks very much, topped it up to take photos :) I kept an eye on your journal, love your 60-P. I wish I could afford one ha. Don't know if to keep this scape or adjust it / change it completely. Time will tell ! Thanks for your comment :thumbup:

Re: ADA Mini M Hey Kris, Thanks very much. I too like the look from above of Pogostemon erectus, Looks a lot better from above than it does from the front. Ive been trying to, and will persist to trim the front in an effort to create a bushy growth in an attempt to give similar appearance as...
