    New Scape (don’t judge me it’s been a while)

    Hey all, long time no speak. Hope you’re all well! After a very strange few years, I have decided to start another scape. I haven’t bought the tank yet, but wanted to start a new thread to document the journey. It’s only going to be a small scale to start with, 30 - 60 litres. It’s going...

    Ian's ada 60p

    I have managed to bag a ada 60p from George. I was going to set up tomorrow, however, it may be midweek now due to floaty wood! I thought I'd start my journal with a few pics of the wood and tank. image by Ian Holdich, on Flickr The wood image by Ian Holdich, on Flickr And the wood...

    Back to my roots

    Hi everyone, Brandis edge is now gone, and I'm really happy about that. The reason being,that I lost my aquascaping mojo a fair while back. I was getting very bored with the whole thing. I did try and get it back, but there was just no excitement in for me anymore. This is far from and...

    Going Dutch Tropica 1-2 Grow Style

    New journal Time! I have wanted to try a Dutch scape for a couple of years now, but always felt a little scared to do so as I have never really felt that confident with stems. Anyways here goes!

    The Aquarium Lincoln Nano tank

    I have set up a little nano for my LFS, after doing thier main tank last year, they got some nice little Superfish nanos in. Its a simple low tech scape with Riccia and Lilaeopsis. These little tanks are great, they come with a nice little integrated LED, which dims and can be used as a marine...

    This is my kitchen nano tank. Whole 14 ltrs! The tank is a p@h lead free nano tank. It has been my holding tank for a while, it was a mess, so got the orders from the ball and chain to either get rid or clean it up! It's gonna have my Rili shrimp in it that I purchased from aquatics live...

    Echinodorus tank (the end)

    before we get started, this isn't a 'scape' perse, it's more of an experiment/plant species tank. I for one am blown away by the ADA aquajournals and love some of the more simplistic scapes. There was one with just a single species Echinodorus with a glosso carpet, which i loved. There are also...

    Ian's nano cube

    I have been given the go ahead for a nano in the kitchen. The tank is an 14l P@H cube and the rest of the stuff i have lying around. I got some Dragon stone as well and some Aqua gravel. I wanted to make it an Iwagumi, i have done a few layouts, but could do with some opinions on them. Heres the...

    Ian's LFS tank

    Having got quite friendly with my local LFS manager/owner over the last few years, he gave me the opportunity to do his display tank. The tank is a home made, around 125 ltrs cube. This sits on the counter alongside the marine display tank. Having put in the plant order from Tropica, we got...

    Ian's 80cm (Chocolate gourami!)

    After much deliberation i have decided to sell my corner tank. I had no problems with the tank, however, it was a pain to maintain as it was so tall, there was only one or two scapes that worked in a corner tank. The corner tank sold very quickly to someone who was going marine. I did want to...
