George! Great work and a refreshing approach that clearly demonstrates that you don't need to spend masses of cash on plants to get an effective aquascape. I have a pot of Eleocharis mini, would you mind popping over and helping me split it into individual blades of grass :wacky: Andyh

Ian, that is looking nice! The last photo is cracking! Moss on wood does it for me every time (clearly need to get our more, i know!) Great Stiphodons!

Feel for you Alastair. Bad Luck it did look really cool and i am sure you will have it back up and running very soon. I find each time i do a new scape its better than the last, so just think of this as a practice run. Andyh

No thread hijack intended.:writing: But i have mine on the intake and it works very well for me indeed. Been on there for over 6 months with no drama at all. No mist in tank, just the occasional cough of bubbles from the filter.

you weren't meant to see that as i had accidently not read the latter comments............... But glad you got my point :)

I do enjoy your scapes as there is always so much opinion, and you throw yourself open to the opinions of the masses. I suppose what i would like to see is some sort of complex rockwork, with layers and some more height. You have a great eye for natural looking rockwork and i beleive its...

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution Ahh Mr Farmer! Looking great dude! Its so interesting to see how a rock scape can be changed so dramatically with the plant selection, It looks great! One thing it really highlights is that plant selection can make or break a scape :eh: But whats with the...

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown Stu, Firstly Merry Chrimbo to you and your family! Lovin the new scape, the height really works well in the 45cm deep tank. Its also good to see something which looks different and this certainly does. Should be sweet once it grows in. Cant wait to see this one...

Re: "Prairie Lands"... @ 8 weeks Lovin it Mark! Personally i like to see some of the real shots, the unkept and unlevel type shots show us that its not perfect 24/7. Mine always gets a little attention just b4 a photo shoot.

Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125 Tank still looking good LD, I love the fissidens branch! Do you ever prune it or just leave it alone?

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" I meant get another one! :eh: :lol: Have you seen Jims new scape at TGM with the Rummy Nose, he could probably do with a few more though.

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" Just get a nano to play with so you don't get bored! You also need some fish as you have stated above to give it some more interest, what you thinking of getting? :eh:

Mark I am sure you have been asked this before and i am sorry but cant find it. When taking picss, How do you keep the black background in your photos so black? Mine always looks a little washed out. I sometimes get it right but never quite sure how i do it. (probably luck!) Any pointers...

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" Sounds random.... and i would only say this within the safety of UKAPS.org, anywhere else it would just be weird...... "But i love your big stone!" :lol: :lol: I really like the rocks in this scape, great selection! I noticed earlier in this thread you...

Have you ever taken a bad pic mark? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" Koralia's are great, mine is so good at creating disturbance rather than just blasting with a powerhead jet type situation. Would recommend them to any one, and the big plus is they are silent (if under the water). Loads of cheap UV filters on ebay! Seen them...

Re: 90x45x45 has arrived! Hey Stu Just wanted to say that i thought your tank, stand and light hanger are all stunning in design, i am not sure were others are coming from with this. Its actually better than most of the available kits out there, and the fact you have put it all together in...

Re: 90x45x45 has arrived! Stu That looks excellent! The build quality and finish seems very good I have to admit I am considering something similar for the lounge! I really like your quick release brackets, they look heavily over engineered, which i think is a great look. I bet your looking...

Re: 90x45x45 has arrived! Stu, That looks so cool !!! I knew you wouldn't be disappointed with the tank from Aquariums Ltd mine is excellent. I am very jealous of your setup :sick: Did you do the chrome/hanging rail work yourself? I have to say though i love the look and build quality of...
