I like the idea but unfortunately the wife's involved and hates the wood display thing "why the h*** would anyone want all those twiggy bits sticking up, it's really ugly" and given that she suggested the bigger tank I'd like to keep her sweet (plus you never know if she's happy with this it may...

Thanks Tim. I agree Mr Luke that sort of thing seems like the way to go.

Hi All, I'm going to be replacing my Cryptolith tank with a 2ft cube and I'm really struggling for ideas. Its mainly the height that's causing me the issues. If you've got any pics to share that would be great.

Also agree with the egg crate. Check this out....

Get some soil and go true low tech:)

I suppose I'm looking at the stocking with my fish keepers hat on rather than from an art perspective. Like I said I think it is a great capture and I wish my fish would behave like that for photos.

Each to their own I suppose. "I like that boulder, thats a nice boulder". I do agree with the fish comment I does look a bit crowded but still a very nice capture. I like Jeff's hardscape only tanks and imo this wouldn't look out of place in his gallery.

Or egg crate like the reefers use

Cyprichromis leptosoma

Cyprichromis sp. ? Not sure if they'd be shrimp safe

Looks like the stuff. Foxfish will be able to give you a better idea on that I've never used it in an aquarium only on boats and planes:)

Ime west system has been available in the 3 countries I've lived in. Most composites supply places in the uk will ship to europe.

AUTO-CLEANING GOLDFISH TANK? Experiment in progress... | UK Aquatic Plant Society Have look at this.

Not sure you'll have to ask Paulo, both books were in portugese only, I'd love to get my hands on the plant reference one.

Are they the same books I saw at AL? If so I would love to see an english version of those books too. Looks like its going to be a good book, fingers crossed for an english version.

Well worth watching. Good to see even Amano has things go wrong....

Use wcmm or a lighter coloured tetra. I do have cardinals with mine, in a planted though and they look good :D or get some black calvus

Hi, Try one of these Change the blades regularly and keep them flat to the glass and they wont scratch it and should get inbetween the silicone and the glass and take it off without any hassles. :thumbup:

What are the water paramaters in your tank? Have a read of this http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/rock_metals.php and this http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=17407 It should help.

Looks great Stu. Im using Cotswold Stone in mine, will post pics when I've finished the hardscape.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated :thumbup: , Darrel that crevice garden is pretty cool, I've never seen anything like it before, do you have any links to the end result? Source:http://rappin.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/aqua-forest-aquariums-aquascaping/ This is the closest I've found to...

Hi All Im struggling to come up with scape ideas that will look good as aswell as providing a good home for the intended inhabitants. Tank size is 1200 x 451 x 451 mm and the fish will be Altolamprologus calvus http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1578 which require a rock pile...
