Saw this scape on Sunday, it a very clean and tidy scape. It's very relaxed and serene scape. It's given me some inspiration for my next scape, thank you for that George!
Thanks.Hi George,
I just LOVE it !!!!
As Ady says the choice of plants make it feels more natural.
I can't see very well, what is the plant (light one) behind the first line of stone ?
regards
Thanks guys.
Gary - the glassware comes off really easily on here. I actually think my hose is a touch bigger than 12mm but there's no leaking so it's ok! I do have to really tighten up the clamps on the inline diffuser though...
If you are finding it tough to remove your glassware/hose then first try squeezing the hose near the glass and twist/bend gently to break the seal. If that doesn't work then a hairdryer might work.
After breaking Dan Crawford's ADA inlet a few years ago I'm super careful now, but even so am on my second gUSH inlet! But that was dropping it on my granite kitchen surface.
Good luck. You'll soon find a reliable method that works for you. Glassware maintenance is all part of the fun of being an aquascaper!
The bad news is that there is persistent BBA on the open areas of the wood. I always seem to get this on Manzanita and think it is because it's constantly degrading and releasing organic matter that feeds the algae.
Interesting idea, thanks. Can you recommend a species that remains small and that won't touch the mosses?Try adding a Panaqolus! Only one is enough. It will eat the old wood before it decays and this way BBA will not grow anymore. It really works, the only place I get BBA is where the Panaqolus can't get
Thanks Dave.Superb pictures once again George! The grass looks really healthy. I hope my Signature layout will look as good as any of yours!
Cheers
Dave

I would be worried about it uprooting plants as it looks too bulky to be able to swim through the plants, bit like a pleco would.
