Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' plant list

Guys, Thanks for the support :thumbup:

I'll reply properly later today. I've run out of superglue, half way through planting!

Thankfully, i'm just missing ferns and anubias, which can be put in after. A few moss stones to add also.

I've made a few, bold, choices with this. Plant positioning of one or 2 plants.

Anyway, I've got to tidy up now. The place is a mess.

Here's something to be going on with.

Oooo, the hill held together well :thumbup:

Geisseman lighting rocks!

I can see you've planted some 'background' plants nearer the front. Should turn out interesting.

Yes mate. It might not work, but there's another reason. I reckon, with some taller plants in the mid ground, this should help with getting some dramatic shots later down the line.

I've not looked at this as just a 'final image' scape. I want to exploit every possible angle with this one.

Hi Mr T :thumbup:

mammoth doesn't come close. you see, i didn't just plant this tank yesterday, but another 180L before i did this one.

There's a couple of themes that seem to run through this tank...one that stands out for me is maybe, a Jungle theme...
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Run out of superglue!

You are truly a pro, Mark! I really cannot decide which is better, either the scape or pictures!

Keeping my eyes on this one! :)
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Run out of superglue!

Wow!!! That's looking really nice there mark!!! Congratulations!!!

Ummm,...could you be kind enough to show how you actually glue the moss using superglue please? Would it kill the moss if the glue sort of spreads over the moss leaf surface?

Thanks my friend :thumbup:

I do feel though, this is the kinda tank that's not 'big hitting' from the start. Lots of crypts, and many changes before it starts to look something...

Thanks Antoni. :wave:

I wont bore you all with image after image. I've spent a bit of time taking images from different angles and with different lenses. The layout is a real treat in terms of angles and depth. It's far too early to get anything decent, but in a month or 2 I'll be posting many pics 8)

Here's the manzi root wood
