This is my second tank after 15 years break with Your help I know more and more everyday :clap:
 
Hi

Tank holds 370l
As I reduce light tank do not look as good as on pictures but got no more problem with algae
In next few day all will be stripped down and moved to new optiwhite tank and I want to use slow growing plants just do not want to trim plants every weekend

Anyone got some idea how can I reuse my old substrate ? Just dry them? How about cleaning ? I know that is loads good things in it so do not really know what to do
 
Awesome looking tank I have been looking round for a few ideas on scaping my dull looking tank, I've got a few off yours.
I like what you've done with that large bit of root.
 
you said you had substrate similar to ada ? can you tell me how you are getting on with it and were you bought it.
 
Hi

I like the wood as well (hand picked from TGM)but I'm gona cut it for my next scape as is bit to big for what I want

Is not exactly similar to ADA is bit different cilour and shape but for me works well and is cheap
only problem is that You can not buy it in UK as is made by Polish company called Aqua art holds plants well and just look on grow efects in other tank I use Colombo substrate and is to light for me
