Hello guys,
Haven't posted for quite some while, but with a good reason – got a beautiful baby girl this July.
Now, her beeing 4 months old and with other kid, almost 3, it gives their „old man“ time to get his hand wet and start a new project.
After UKAPS Aquascape challenge I become quite fan of 60x45x30 aquaria so I decided to give it a go.
You gotta simply love that extra depth (45cm)...
After 2 years of making only landscape aquascapes, I simply wanted something more live and vibrant in my living room, full of healthy plants and great habitat for the inhabitants.
During summer vacation in Dalmatia I managed to find some beautiful pieces of Juniperus oxycedrus (Mediterrenian ceder) roots and idea was born.
Specs:
Light – Chihiros A-Series & Fluval Fresh & Plant 2.0
Filter - Fluval 306
CO2 – 2kg bottle with inline atomiser
Substrate – JBL ProScape PlantSoil, 12L
It took me some time to cut/connect different parts of the root in the way I wanted to, and finally this was what I got:
1.
2.
3.
And with the roots on their places:
Planted with Hortilab plants:
Marsilea crenata
Rotala rotundifolia "Green"
Ludwigia sp. "Mini Super Red"
Juncus repens
Cryptocoryne pigmea
Cryptocoryne parva
Cryptocoryne willisii
Hygrophila pinnatifida
Eleocharis mini
