Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Run out of superglue!

Better this one:

I think ADA should make some, little side hangers to foresee if you have a chance to score high at IAPLC :lol:
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Run out of superglue!

Wow. cheers guys. Great fedback. :thumbup:

I'm using just 1 filter, infected with media from a mature filter.

If flow becomes an issue, I'll rig another filter up, or a powerhead.

I've a little crypt melt, but it happens. Even if it doesn't, you'll loose those leaves at sometime. There's new crypt leaves coming through though.

I've got the in line diffuser on the inlet and there's no bubbles at all. This is new to me.

drop checker, in the hardest to reach place turns green in no time.

Whatcha planning with the free space there mate? Adding a shipwreck?

A diver, which blows bubbles out of his ass! :lol:

I'll let the moss do it's thing in the foreground.

After showing the FTS, you cant really make out whats in the back.

Here's a few shots, of whats to spring up later on. All the stems are doing good, and there's plenty of signs of their natural colours. Maybe the T5 is whats bringing colours out?...

I see Discus in there!

*not at the minute obviously*

Don't know where you're looking mate. But there is obviously a few different species of barb in there. :)

I dont think I've got the water parameters for discus. :geek: They'd, maybe, 'clutter' the scape?

Yeah, i think so. cherry barb! love em.

I do tend to choose odd fish (George knows this :lol:)

But with a busy scape, I'll be able to have a few different species. I'd like some bigger fish too. Red fin Colombian tetras would be nice.

On a side note, when the MH lamps come on, they trigger intense pearling! I'll see how it goes with just 1 hour per day.

Here's a quick vid of cutting out old crypt leaves. Need to keep on top things like this.

Definitely. With a good gang of Rhombocellatus.(sp?)

Anyone wondering how to eradicate fungi growth from new wood?... SAE's They've stripped it clean!

You can just make him out over the gravel...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' The bits you cant see (pics)@ 4 da

have you removed or trimmed the hairgrass, Mark?

fill it back up! :D

ianho said:

I've trimmed it Ian. It's settled in quite quickly. :angelic:

The rotala sp. green is crawling in this tank o_O unlike in the 60, where it grows upwards. I think it's a T5 thing.

I'm also getting some real nice colours from the other stems too. The HYGROPHILA SP. 'ARAGUAIA' is turning a nice reddy brown colour, and i'm really interested to see how this plant preforms.
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' The bits you cant see (pics)@ 4 da

Mark,...are you dosing liquid carbon along with the co2 in your tank? How's your dosing please? Do you follow it as per the recommended dosing on the bottle or do you dose less?
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' The bits you cant see (pics)@ 4 da

Just managed to catch up with this after my break, looks awesome Mark :) just keeps getting better with every scape :) congrats

No mate.

faizal said:

20ml TPN+ every other day, and 10ml TPN alternate to TPN+

ghostsword said:
Can you do a video of the front? Please!!!

I'll try to. You wouldn't see much though. There's so little flow, that it'd look like a still image :lol:

Thanks Paulo.

I've sent someone out for shrimp today. 8 of them, so their acclimatising right now.

I think adding mature media is working well too. The water clarity has improved ten fold in the last 2 days or so.
