My previous scape in this tank ended here: The Island - ADA 75P - It's been a while....
Easy title as i'm hoping that after just 3 years in hobby i've at least progressed a tiny bit and able to put into practice what i've learned so far (with a lot still to learn). Main idea of this scape will...
I've titled this piece "Life in Borneo". "ive always wanted to do an aquascape full of Bucephalandra and if you have 3 minutes to spare give it quick watch and leave your comments below !

I THINK it’s buce sp. Red. That’s what I have written in my Instagram story when I planted the tank but I’m just not convinced about it myself. Any help would be appreciated.
I saw a post talking about the ADA terra base so I thought I'd share mine which is freshly planted, this was the next day after being planted so it hasn't matured at all. The terra base itself is £30 but the glass is more. I don't believe the glass is needed though but it was for me to keep...
This has been a few months coming after my barn find of a tank earlier this year, so I’ve been playing with ideas and stockpiling hardscape since and waiting till I had more time to get this set up. A return to high tech and my first proper attempt at a fairly high light tank.
Tank – ADA 75P...
Hello everyone. Just canvassing advice regarding some Bucephalandra I bought which was delivered by post. I believe it is the Kedagang variety. It was growing on a small stone about 3x3 cm. On receipt, there were three parts to what was originally one. A stone with sbout 3cm of rhizome and two...
So my rough and ready quarantine tank has been sitting staring at me and my buce obsession finally got the better of me (just won over my want for another koi betta).
The aim with this is solely to grow bucephalandra as well as I possibly can within this tank
Tank is an aqua one betta trio...

Anyone have a recipe for a Hydrogen Peroxide/H2O2 dip? I want to kill some Cladophora that I got in on a Buce recently. There seems to be a lot of contrasting info out there!
Cheers
I realise a Potassium Permanganate dip or H2O2 dip would be safer for my Buce but I don't have any on hand and H2O2 is really hard to get in the UK.
What kind of bleach do you guys use for bleach dips? I was thinking Tesco or Asda basic value bleach. I saw George Farmer use the Tesco value...
So I've spent an inordinate amount of time considering what tank I'd want for upgrading from my 45P. Starting out considering a 60P, from there on fantasizing about 90Ps and 120Ps (ignoring the fact that my floors seems to be made of custard). Back to the 60P as an immediate upgrade. Then I was...

Hi all,
A relative was going to bin this tank, so I took it on. Didn't want to spend too much money so built the stand out of concrete blocks and plywood. The sides and back were painted black apart from one chunk of the back pane for some reason, so I decided to paint that bit myself rather...
Hi all
Here's a video of me aquascaping a Dennerle Scapers Tanks using some very cool plants, and with guest appearance from the legendary Stefan Hummer aka The Plantahuhter!
I hope you like it!
Cheers,
George

*go on - you know you want to*
Everyone is loving Bucephalandra and for good reason! They look great and are VERY easy to grow.
Here's one that I don't think any other supplier in the UK has. It's not always available so if you like it, click add to cart :)
https://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/bucephalandra-theia-p-7461.html...
Amazing plant that is NOT taken from the wild - this is very important as the wild variety will become extinct if they continue to pull out at the rate which they are.
Check the potted variety out as it's fantastic value

Hi all,
I am thinking in the potential of these plants. I have read some information about this species here and there, but I have the feeling that it is difficult to know what varieties are available in the market, as well as not much information about what causes the famous disease this plant...
