Looks awesome, Roy! :) I really must get myself a small shallow tank, I really miss the little riparium type thing I had running.

Any plans for livestock?

Hi Berlioz, Thank You :thumbup: Go for it get a Shallow there great fun as you know for Riparium the plants look fab :)Well I don't keep live stock not even shrimp plants are my thing :) Saying that some Stickle backs would look cool :rolleyes:
 
Superb scape Roy, the willow branches should root well shouldn't they ? You may have a sideline selling starter bonsai trees ;) subscribed to this one :)

Hi Tim, Thank you :) The Willow The first leaves have died back the branches are now sending out new roots after 2 weeks and new leaf buds are forming on the branches cool. I have done this before years ago to take nitrates out the water:oldman::oldman::D

So thought it would look cool on the DW more photos coming soon :D

Hi Roy again stunning :clap: can't wait to see this grow.. :) Got one question tho.. Why not a small HOB filter instead with a nice fern in it?.. :)

Hi Marcel, Thank you :) The Wife does not like the sound of running water :( So had to go with a small internal filter. It was part of the bargain when she let me have another tank in the front room :D
