Looking forward to seeing this one grown in a bit! I actually really like the dimensions on this, too.

Love it! Real nice fish :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice :)

Really like this, great job!

Really nice, I'd love a discus setup if I had the space! Have you thought about adding a few more crypts along the edge? Perhaps some more Wendti?

Lovely tanks, looking forward to seeing progress. I live in Wimbledon and on the hunt for some CRS, any ideas besides Maidenhead?

Great start, I've also got that heater and it struggles to keep my 25l cube above 21c, but that's in my cool basement flat. :p My vote is a few otos and shrimp for the cleanup crew

I've only just come across this. Wow! It's the type of community aquarium most people wish to have. Lots of interest and very healthy fish and plants. Must be happy with it!

I'm really not a fan of this style of aquarium to be honest Gill, but I am looking forward to what you do inside it ;) Good luck with the new position also!

So wild, I love it. Thought about some cherries in there? Or would they be a tasty snack for the fish?

The Shard - Pico Cube - New Pix :) I like it, but I don't think you should be keeping fish in there, even of they are little tiddlers

Double Opti White Nano - Cherry/Sakura Breeding Colony Nice tanks, it's great to see nicely aquascaped shrimp setups! Any shots of the cherries?

Imageshack.us couldn't be easier.

"Green Mountain" - 60lt Cube - 3rd times the charm Amazing growth! Awesome. Do you have pics of the light? I've just ordered 5 Crees and a few other bits for mine

Looking forward to seeing it growing in :) Celestial Pearl Danios to be more accurate! One of my faves, I love them! Good tip, this is what I did also.

"Green Mountain" - 60lt Cube - 3rd times the charm Looks good, like the scape. Carpet is looking dense already. Do you know your tank is wonky? Level it out and you can get more water in ;) Try 6 hours of lights and 30-40% weekly water change for a starting point

James' ADA 60p setup Wow... Serious money spending there. Very nice post, could easily be in PFK. Look forward to keeping up to date with the journal.

Re: "Green Mountain" - 60lt Cube - 3rd times the charm Pics! Just use your phone... Give us something :lol:

Helferi has done fine just with liquid carbon. I don't actually have Blyxa though, I got mixed up :oops:

C. Helferi and the Blyxa are in mine at the moment, they grow fine without CO2! Mine are too long :roll:

Love it, has a definite 'lost in the magic woods' type vibe - if one exists! What plants have you got planned?

Re: P@H Cube (Rescape)- Forgotten Realm C. Helferi but to be honest it grows far too long! Looking for an alternative...

Re: P@H Cube (Rescape)- Forgotten Realm cheers ian. Thought I'd take a quick phone pic, you get the idea hopefully! I'm going to redo the rock formation as well, looking at straight the larger rocks look too parallel.

Re: P@H Cube (Rescape)- Forgotten Realm I'm waiting for some more bits to arrive, then I'll post some interesting updates! In the meantime, this all showed up earlier today. I got the filter for £25 with media, and the taps separately for a fiver each. I also got some 12mm clear hose for...

I live these little tanks! You don't need RO water for CRS, it does give you total control over parameters but not essential. The main thing is to keep your water in check, which I'm sure you'll do anyway ;) Look forward to the updates

Re: The Cube Just give it time, all new tanks will have algae issues! Scapes also develop with time, just keep going like I do! :lol:

Substrate Ok, so I've been trying to decide on the substrate. I'm edging toward Fluval shrimp stratum but not heard great things about it regarding shrimps http://www.shrimpnow.com/forums/showthr ... ear-of-use considering flourite and akadama but I'd like something black and that creates...

Re: The Cube So, keeping a journal didn't really happen :lol: In the end I went for a standard iwagumi with a sanzon layout. Ended up a mix of Eleocharis parvula and acicularis in the foreground and Cyperus helferi in the background (which grows far too long for this sized tank!) Fauna...

That's the temp of the bulbs which come with most of the Arc pods darren! ian, do you know the wattage of the LED's used here are?

any updates? >)

The lights that the tanks came with we're indeed CF's. Where did you get the aquaray from? I'm using an arcpod and need to change!

[Nano] An Accidental Jungle - video page 2 Great video, I LOVE these fish. Not seen them before, I really like their interesting nature, kinda reminds me of my cpd's but with better concentration! How big do they get? Also fantastic job on the tank, impressive from the stock light. Are you...

I love the rescape, looks much better! Have you thought about tidying the filter inlet/outlet up a bit? Would look much neater with some glassware on there. I love Embers, I've only got 3 in my nano but they quite happily swim around with the other species. One of them is very pale though which...

Ian's 80cm (what? a rectangle!) Not sure about the black silicone, but very much looking forward to what you're going to do inside it!

Overdue Re-scape My statement remains true. Foil is more reflective than White paint, it's more common sense than anything but I'd urge you to carry out some research based on fact if you think otherwise. Let's not hijack this thread with an argument though.

Overdue Re-scape Actually the shiny side of aluminium foil is around 90% reflective, whereas White enamel paint is around 70%. It will diffuse the light better but not as efficiently. Just look at the reflectors used in commercial grow lights ;) Nice tank by the way, will look forward to updates.

Re: Sarawak Coast - 35l Nano pics!

Re: Drifting Regarding the Daphnia, I probably used the same seller. Delivery was slow but the 1 bag I got was alright, not as many in as one from my old LFS but not too bad. I chucked them in a tub outside with a bit of detritus and the population has trebled, free supply of daphnia, and it's...

Re: A very English Spring...happy with the wood! Hard work seems to be paying off! Very nice so far, I love it :)

My first iwagami, un named. Pic heavy Looks good! Surprising what you get from 2 pots! Look forward to it maturing ;)

Wouldn't shrimp prefer substrate?

That's the light I'm thinking about getting, could you get a pic with the whole tank? How do you find it? ta

Could you take some better pics? Looks really good from what I can make out! What light are you using?

I'm guessing he's forgotten about this journal... :/ Anybody know what software he used for the plan?

Re: 27l Nano Cube Been cycling this for what seems like forever, the reason for this is that I wanted it to be as stable as possible! I've also been reading and researching various things, I've not got a CO2 system yet due to cost; can anyone tell me if liquid carbon is a viable alternative...

I like it, what lights are you using?

Nice find! I've never seen these for sale, and to get them at such a good price as well! Tank is looking good

A different approach - DIY ADA Light done :D Nice work! I think you should create a DIY guide ;)

Nice to see some more cubes, these are very wild looking! Nice job

Looks good, any chance of a decent pic?

Re: ENHEIM AQUA STYLE 16. The minimal planted journal I like the rocks, but can't help but feel that it would look better in a slightly larger tank, seems a bit crowded? Will look good when the parvula grows in. It can take a while until the water goes crystal, and obviously you may get...

Gorgeous cube, I love it :) I was looking at that light but can't get them in the UK!

So the consensus is that light is pretty good? Good enough to carpet HC? 11w over 27 litres is 'very low'... Will you be using this light George?

Re: [Nano] An Accidental Jungle I think I'm going to try and remove that bit of the clamp, very annoying how it falles below the water line! I'm not using the filter either, looks much too small for my liking, but probably will suffice as long as there's not much bioload on it. You planning on...

Re: [Nano] An Accidental Jungle :lol: Probably how mine will turn out... How are you finding the light? Does indeed look jungle-like! Pretty cool, Could we get a lighter pic?

Re: Plant-O-matic Very neutral looking tank, Lots of plants in there but doesn't look overly busy! Do you think you should move the drop checker to the other side of the tank of the diffuser for a more accurate reading?

Re: 27l Nano Cube I have been following your journal actually! I will be using CO2 and dosing with an all in one fert, not too sure how decent the light is on these though? Substrate added. I used Tetra CompleteSubstrate and topped with a mixture of unipac "black" sand and fine black gravel...

Hey guys, I just got my hands on the P@H coopet 27 litre cube. Very hard to get hold of, I had to ring around 4 stores before managing to find 1 in stock. i got it after hearing such good things about it on here, and was never happy with my piddly 10 litre tank. I've not decided how I'm going...

Nice tank and great start, do you have any inspiration of what you want to achieve?

I love corner tanks when the'yre well done; and this one looks to be going in the right direction! How is that diffuser going?

Re: An inconvenient space That 'The view' tank you posted is wicked, I'd love to see you have something like that!

Just want to say that I've enjoyed the progress on this, and looking forward to seeing what you do next

Re: The Transparent Tank Challenge Thanks to the OP and everyone posting links! This is certainly something I will do once I've sorted out a cheap external. I was looking at the cheap glass pipes on eBay, but this will save me some cash! I love a bit of DIY ;)

Thanks Gill, looks pretty good to me. Yesterday I got a Marina Easy Clean, Tetra CompleteSubstrate and UniPac black fine sand: I've been studying iwagumi over on Aquajournal.net (very good resource!), and looking for suitable plants/livestock. Heres my current selection: Background...

Thanks, do you guys have any pics of your filters in situ? I got some Sumatran driftwood root in there now; unsure if I'm going to keep it. I kind of want to keep things simple with this tank, using Seiryu Stone and a carpeting moss (or low light tolerant plant) and some sort of low grass in...

Hi guys, I've recently liberated a tiny old 10 litre tank from my girlfriends parents garage. It came complete with a hood but no lighting, so I ordered a few of those LED strips you see on eBay and wired it all up. I've gone for 2 white, 1 blue, and 1 red. It seems bright enough for viewing...

So far so good! Looking forward to the updates. I'm not sure whether to use my wood or not, but looking how well yours fits I'm tempted. May i ask which HOB you tried? I'm looking at the azoo mignon or aqua vital, any comments?

Re: Now Lo-Tech nano - now up and running with photos First post but I've been reading a variety of threads on here for a few weeks! Great read indeed, I've recently acquired a 10 litre tank and it's currently cycling, waiting for me to chose plants and scape it! I plan on using a cheap a Co2...
