Tryes a few different scapes this weekend and really like the original also used some substrate support you think looks ok ? Sorry for rubbish pics cannot find camera memory card also going to order plants for end of month as busy until then still not decided 100%

Thanks Dean

 

[allan angus]

nice start dean like the hard scape siple and balanced

 

[James D]

Like it Dean!

You might need a substrate support on that small steep bit to the left of the main rocks though.

 

[Deano3]

The is a support underneath its cut in the right but deeper on the left but might add another mate cheers I don't like too many rocks and no open spaces so quite like it and tried to a stick with the rules of thirds



Thanks Dean

Just thought would share my latest purchase just ordered gush lily pipe and shrimp guard from aquarium plant food and also got this perfect condition £10 posted first class so will have a look next week, just noticed the pages start at 234 or something in that range does it carry on from book 2 ? I have 1 and 3 now so need the rest

Thanks Dean

[Deano3]

[Deano3]

good news just purchased a new filter a fluval G6 only 4 month old with extras throw in £200 posted was a little worried about lack of filtration so hopefully this should be great and bad news gush lily pipe delivered wasn't the mini so sending back and will have to wait april to get new one so might just not have lily for a month or so, anyone know the pipe size of the g6 as will now need a inline heater

Looking very nice Dean,..... Very neat & tidy looking hardscape. All the best & hope it turns out the way you want it to.

Hi Deano3, Love the pipe idea Looking forward to seeing it all coming together now

 

[Deano3]

Hi everyone been away a week just got back and found this

Have the receipt and was purchased end of September 2013 and in excellent condition just like new

Gtet has this bran new media and has 2 the same but Been used and on the right has a black cylinder with balls or something inside and inside the filter has 3 trays of this

Would you change the media for the media that was in my eheim filter ?
Also anything else you would check before leaving feedback on eBay you think I should test the filter using a bin or something just make sure works etc

Thanks Dean

 

[Lindy]

You don't have to leave feedback immediately. Set it up on your tank and run for a day or two before giving feedback. If there is something amiss contact seller.

cheers mate I will do need to sort lilly pipes and external heater then plants, infact might order everything this weekend think going to go with 300w hydor external heater unsure about lilly pipes as don't want large ones in this tank I really wanted nano minimalist ones but might go with a spraybar instead but wanted inlet and outlet lily pipes really.also the fluval g6 piping is ugly silver is there any clear tubing that would do ? also whats your oppinions on the media would you swap for the eheim media I had

thanks dean

 

[aliclarke86]

The medis will be fine mate, also shoult take standard tubing so any 16/22 should work, it might be a bit much on tour yank though. I thought about getting one not long ago. I asked George about his and he told me he reducedcthem down and used 12/16 glasswear (nano ones from apf)

Here is small crack showed my lass and she couldn't spot it its tiny and cannot image water just under LCD display so should be ok ? You think will be fine didn't see a leak when checked the other day and asked seller for a partial refund and only 4 month 5 month old as have receipt

Cannot see there but with flash you can

Doesn't seem like water goes up there what you think

Dean


Thanks Dean
