This is my 4th aquascape in my Juwel Rio 125.
I’ve also got this running regularly on the PFK blog, in an attempt to boost the planted tank and journal-style aspects to the hobby.
It’ll be updated weekly, so please feel free to comment on the blogs too. The more UKAPS exposure on the PFK site, the better…
It’s a complete re-do of my crypt/fern ‘scape that you can see here.

It was covered in algae and had crypt meltdown due to a CO2 stoppage combined with the recent 2x lighting to grow glosso.
Anyway, pictures are more interesting than words…
You can see a full-tank shot on the PFK blog. I’ll update with a new pic next week.

Plans are to stock some otos and shrimp today.
I’m letting the Rotala ‘Green’ grow mad until it covers the surface then prune back brutally.
I have some more plants and plans in mind but will wait a couple of weeks to see how things shape up.
The glosso and rotala are showing plenty of new growth already, after 4 days.
There is minor brown algae in places but the otos will soon clear that up.
I’m visiting my LFS with Jeremy Gay this weekend to look for display fish. Although they won’t be stocked for a month or so.
