You talented bar stool. I must say. I like the symmetry of the head standing and the surface dwellers - pencils? Lots of elegant motion and the big boy doing patrols. Excellent. And then the neons with that arresting flash of colour! Too. Damn. Good.

oh no! all the best tom, with everything. your journal is probably the most inspiring ive had the good fortune to read.

it wouldn't be crypt-mas without melt :)

Any room for... You know.... Fish?

Sounds perfect Darrel. Can't beat a proper planted pond.

I have a 70 litre mini pond. Dwarf water lily, and plenty of live food in spring summer and autumn. Edged with veronica beccabunga .

I did not know they had been classified yet .

I was bumbling around, playing with tank dimensions , and I came to the conclusion of a 90 x 90 x 35 cm tank. Anyway. My point is; do you ever desire more depth than 30 cm?

This tank is ridiculous. Even more so when you go back and read the first post. ' piles of rotting crap' indeed! you teach mogwai to watch television!? ayah.

Goodness gracious me- that's intense. So now we have a skillfully executed scape with an equally eye opening In depth write up.

I find it incomprehensible how you achieve and maintain your set- up to such high standards. Attention to detail is outrageous.

Oh my good lord. Its a thousand pound of led!

Seems strange that seriously fish would have different parameters for sawbwa and erythromicron- they come from the same water!

hi tom, do you think danio erythromicron would be ok at 200 ppm hardness? i

that wood layout, pretty intense

Thinking different rock. These hardscapes make me feel that I have liked them already...

whichever you get... I think they are called ponds!

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update pg 20 no. still deciding what to do with my current tanks.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update pg 20 oh , i want it. i take it that he is stil upgrading?

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update pg 20 does it have a new owner?

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update pg 20 criminal to break this tank down.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - quick update with video pg 17 shut mouth!

Re: Aquagreen (new vid p18) i totally agree. not sure if he wants the pressure, but he is right up there on ukaps :clap:

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates and licorice more pictures please, i need my fix.

Re: Aquagreen (bright light!) Cor blimey guv, its good.

Re: Aquagreen (light ramping) crisp. I do like your style. Mark evens tribute in the foreground?

Re: Aquagreen (light ramping) yeah.... But she will get there. Sooner or later....

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates and licorice this is a slice of heaven. Wild yet tamed enough to have in your lounge.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates and licorice i like the thought of you using the plants from Tom, that tank being an inspiration of chocolate puddle. Kind of full circle somehow.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm planted with pics is there water in that tank? Clearly on a different level.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm stress testing that looks sublime in its proportions. i dont know what the golden rules are but this is awsome.

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - All change! keep the journal going :)

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - All change! now that is different.

Re: Aquagreen (Planted page 2) wildwoods or wholesale tropicals usually have them in stock. The cheapest i found was 3 pounds each.

Re: Aquagreen (Planted page 2) ha! I was going to suggest these green monsters. Mine never stop bickering and are prone to jumping when spooked. love em though

Re: Aquagreen (Planted page 2) this is really very good. Very good indeed.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates your tank is beautiful

Re: Aquagreen (Just playing hardscape) yep. That looks good already. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle saw some corydoras pygmaeus today, wow they were so small and cute.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle :mrgreen: can see thing becoming very nice.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle ok thanks- will get the q tank ready.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle oh man- i am going to ma in bracknell to get some then ! thanks dude! :thumbup: my tank is 23 degrees. do i need a male to female ratio?

Re: A Chocolate Puddle is it a gourami -only tank? i really love the sparkling gourami but they prefer warmer conditions than my microdevario...might have to steal some cyperus off shoots from you when they get bigger! :twisted:

Re: A Chocolate Puddle nice update. liking your emersed corner, and i thought my water turned murky!

Re: A Chocolate Puddle bucket of mud is the reason my 4 foot shallow is now set up. cyperus helferi in flower along with nomophila stricta. so thanks tom and good luck alastair ;)

Re: A Chocolate Puddle for an air breather no doubt....

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - Mass destruction just re reading your journal. it is great stuff. will go for echinodorus and moisture loving ferns, think the lady fern will be too big though, maybe maidenhair will work with the humid surroundings, draping over the edges of my new (old) brass rimmed...

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - Mass destruction hope your field trip goes well, this tank is direct inspiration for my next set up, a four foot rectangle for croaking gourami and microdevario, so basically i wanna know the plants you used for the emergent growth.

^^^^^^ the chances of anything coming from mars, are a million to one.... yet still, they come.... ^^^^^^^ definitely otherwordly.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm 'On the sea shore' gravel is reminiscent of the tide coming in at trebarwith strand.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm 'On the sea shore' this lay out is very familiar..... Reminds me of a place somewhere.

i have an idea. With those wheels you could create go- kart aquascape championships. take the world by storm.

my wonderful wife was commenting about my tank, saying how good it is starting to look. So i showed her marks' journal...... ;)

this journal, stu's manzi and the bucket of mud have been eye opening to say the least. all great reading and exceptional work.

oh man. to tear down such a beautiful and much adored tank.... It really is a shame.

ha! Was anyone there to laugh? :)

this tank looks flooded with light. Every detail so clearly Defined. Mark, how much light are you using here. I seem to remember you originally using tubes and switching to mh ? obviously the detail is also a function of your sublime camera skills. Just curious.

it is a top piece of work. My next tank will be open top for sticky out growing plants

gobsmacked. what an epic setup, love the emerged growth.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 A new perspective you state that you employ two filters- i think antipofish asked a question about the the filter pipes- how do you rig it all together?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 A new perspective not bad i suppose. :mrgreen:

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Ripple testing hey there. any tips on setting up a filter to create such crystal water. i have purigen in my internal filter but want to switch to a larger external. so... how do you do it?

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape (Video Page 7) oh man, this tank is special, that is a very nice pic, love the lighting aspect.

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape any advice on creating a mound, will be starting my island this weekend. thinking tight socks filled with sand and rocks to prevent slipping.

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape looks like nice dimension of tank. Not too deep and a nice length and width.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Pre trim pics. would love to see this if it was left to go a bit wild.

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape enjoying these pics. lots to see.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 getting close to the end. Feedback on ste what qualities would you say riccia brings to the table? why do you like it?

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape many points of interest in this hardscape, looking impressive, with or without planting. cannot possibly fail .

Re: Stu's 90x45x45 Dragon Stone Scape the wood, specifically the horizontal straight section on the left - will you leave it exposed, free floating over the hardscape?

a really enjoyable tank. Your fish are boraras sp Thailand?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 now with 300w of metal halide why would you watch it on a screen? I mean.... The tank is right there in the room! ;)

reckon that is too much light for so little plants ;-)
