Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

Before another update of my 'scape I wanted to post a couple of pictures of my fish for lil-lynx :)
Regarding the aquarium I had some ups and downs, I had to replace the wood 'cause it was floating after I pulled out the rocks that sustained it and I also had some temperature problems due to hot weather but now it's ok, back to 27 degrees Celsius. Hopefully I can catch up with AGA this year.

The pictures taken before I planted the Eleocharis parvula lawn :)

My bad bad apisto who's trying to fight his own reflection.

Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

Update after my vacation, unfortunately strong lights, poor flow = bba + 3 days of cleaning, hopefully the tank is back on track with my new DIY Flow-O-Matic, the green thingy on the right. :)

N-60 / P>2 (my mother's dosing) :lol:

Lighting now: 1x965 + 1xAM Plant Grow
Replaced also the JBL CO2 reactor with a glass diffuser.
 
Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

I'm diggin' the last shot mate! ;)

try taking the photo, not so close to end of the photoperiod. the stems are closed
 
Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

Tx mate. The sterns are closing around 8 pm. I'll take the next photo at around 7. A bit difficult for me because I'm not always at home at that hour.

A full tank photo when the baby cory is big enough to get moved with his home in another tank.
I have some ugly equipment in it right now. :)

Anyway the plants are recovering and are on the right track.
A little bit of algae here and there but under control.

Cheers,
Mike
 
Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l

Sorry to post them here but I didn't want to open another topic :)

The fish are a little bit stressed unfortunately.
 
Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l + local workshop pictures

Some driftwood collected by a fellow of mine from a local river. Had them in my tanks for about 6 months and they are still in very good shape :)

Cheers,
Mike
 
Re: Cockatoo's Hut 112l + local workshop pictures

A pic before heavy trimming and cleaning :D
Still need to play more with my newest addition Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f2.8 (M42) ..

Re: [UPDATE]Cockatoo's Hut 112l + local workshop pictures

I really like the 'sparse' look of the tank. The images are of a great quality to. :thumbup:
 
Re: [UPDATE]Cockatoo's Hut 112l + local workshop pictures

Thanks mate for your kind comments, tomorrow I'll take a free day from work to trim it and prepare it for a local contest held at the end of this month. If I move fast I'll catch the noon sun during the day photo session.

Cheers,
Mike
