60cm nature scape v2

Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

This is going too look sweet, I'm already a bit jelous. The selection of plants is great, I like the arrangement on the wood. Please post some pics with the MH in situ. Tom

Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

as promised pictures of the halide which was put up today :D

the light has a marine bulb which will need changing soon. you can see here that it shows the greens well when warming up

but when warmed up the colour changes to very white

Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

That's looking really nice! what are the tank dimensions? They look delectable.
 
Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

It's really nice, absolute bargain on the light too.
More pictures is what we want, it's looking very Amano-esque!

thanks :D

the aqua medic halides (which is what i have) go pretty cheap second hand on ebay. normally £50ish

ill get some more pics up soon. i really want a new bulb :( . the crypts were pearling nicely today but there is some melt
 
Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

Hi samc, looking ace mate!

is that the height you have the light?....(images with light)

you can suspend it higher if you like, and you'll still get awesome growth. I had mine much higher and still got HM and the likes to crawl like a 1 year old kid on steroids!

Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

so i have raised the light. :D it does not look much different which amazed me :lol:

i have ordered a new bulb :D osram 150w daylight. which is the same colour as viktors so i am looking foward to it.

there is some melting going on with the crypts, and i have cut the tenellus back. some new growth from the lileopsis though :thumbup:
 
Re: 60cm nature scpae v2

i have been practicing photography on this tank and its incredibly difficult with my camera as the light is so bright. i still have the marine bulb in so its quite white.

i had to use a piece of board to cover the light and some card 8) :lol:

the pictures were still rubbish as you will see.

it looks nothing like this in real life :(
