this 1 is really boggling me ! how to hardscape a triangle style aquascape ? i want some hardscape to be on show . i did have a picture in my head of branches of redmoor protruding out through the higher plants at 1 end out into the open swimming area , but really not sure if that would "work"...

that would probably be a better idea yes :)

the light unit on the tank is dead so the decision wether or not to replace was made for me . plan is 2x25w t5 , i dont really feel it neccesary to go too high atm as from what ive been reading flow and distribution of co2/ferts is more important to get right . 1st purchases are filter,heater...

il be sure to do a step by step journal for sure although not much point starting it yet , it would just read bought tank,scrubbed tank,ordered filter , bunged in some ammonia :) .give me 6 to 8 weeks though and hopefully i should be in a better place to crack on with things . just put that...

brilliant , thanks ady . some good advice there . glad to hear your thoughts on the colour/positioning of the ludwigia , as the focal point was exactly what i was trying to acheive there . good to know i picked the right spot too . ( shows me ive learned something from all the late nights of...

doh ! just noticed its the layouts that have got videos :)

i havent looked through the videos on the tropica site yet , but ive been having a good look through the layouts section with the difficulty rating , plant lists and step by step photos from setup to pruning . i have to admit that there is 1 in the same size range as my tank that i am quite...

i have been spending a fair amount of time on tropica looking at plants george , but im now going to have to go back and rethink , as i was originally going to go another way , but then i saw this tank and jsut instantly fell in love with it and thought " thats the kind of thing i want in my...

hi george , thanks for your reply . tank dimensions are 80x35cm footprint , 45cm high .planned setup is 2wpg t5 , pressurised co2 via 2kg fire extinguisher , ei dosing . plant-wise for this 1st scape i wasnt thinking along the lines of anything majorly difficult . but it absolutely has to be a...

i've been looking more and more at aquascaping over the last day or 2 , and to be honest i find this part an even more daunting prospect than i did growing healthy plants . now i will concede , that probably the most important consideration in your 1st planted tank is to get the basics of...

some of those bits tom has look just amazing , rather large for a 125 L though from the looks of things

agreed tgm are stupid prices . hogan there are some lovely pieces there , pity they are in amnerica
