    Rio 300 plans

    Hi everyone! It has been a while (too long) since I posted on this site...mainly as I have been embarrassed by my attempts over the last year or so! I have recently decided to turn things around and put a bit of effort into my tank again. The setup is the same as before... Rio 300 tank...

    Thanks for the comments, really appreciate them :D I know its in the early stages but as my first ever high tech set up i am so pleased with how its coming along, with only a few minor snags along the way! Il probably do an order from AE sometime this week so i could possibly put in for...

    Rio 300 plans

    OK, after many a delay my tank is finally suitable to be showing on here....clarity-wise anyway. After suffering about a week with green water i did a 50% change yesterday and i wake up today to find it is almost totally clear :D That is from a distance. As you can see the heteranthera is...

    Sorry for no update the other day..my water decided it was going to turn into a pea soup. I changed 50% of the water and havent dosed or had lights on for a few days...this was in waiting for my new filter (eheim 2078) which arrived and is now set up (see another thread) once this has cleaned up...

    Morning beeky, its been a while since i have updated on this so you commenting will encourage me to go get some photos! The plant that the 'left side' picture shows is Heteranthera Zosterifolia. That was literally just after i planted the top part of the stems i received. It is now a proper...

    Tom's 30cm Cube

    Ha, i can see you had a bit of a hack at the back. Id definitely try to keep that moss in check at the front. Never had any experience myself with moss but it does seem to be distracting from the scape behind it slightly. Thought about a type of grass to go there? Eleocharis etc... Im crap...

    Ok, so the plants came today. All from AE, Tropica plants. this is my first experience with tropica and you can see, as soon as you open the box that the quality is so much better than any other plants i have bought, well worth the extra. I spent about 3 hours trimming them down, separating and...

    Hmm i believe i changed the Hygro for something else but at this moment it escapes me what. I am getting majority of my plant order tomorow... is it normal to be this excited about a fish tank? :? Howard

    Rio 300 plans

    Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I do agree with what you are saying...the rocks are quite stumpy, however, i dont intend for the hardscape to be too visible...they are mainly there to fill in gaps that i can see appearing as things grow and hopefully break things up slightly. Heres an image of...

    Rio 300 plans

    I only realised recently that hydro was going to be a problem...if it does start to get leggy it will be moved towards the right hand side or totally removed..any ideas what i could put there if problems start? I currently am not dosing..lights are on for a minimal time and the other plants...

    Rio 300 plans

    Afternoon all, thanks for the comments =] firstly, yes the polysperma is likely a temporary plant while it settles in. If it doesnt need pruning it'l likely stay there but otherwise (which im sure is more likely) il remove it and replace with a slower grower once things settle...thanks :) im...

    Rio 300 plans

    The idea is to have the rocks closer to the front and only have glosso infront. that way hopefully the rocks will still be on display but with growth around the sides and behind i quite like the current layout..that added to the fact i cant really afford more rocks :( i think i might leave it...
