Re: nelson's nano 2

Looking very healthy Neil

[edit] Now don't be afraid to cut it bud, it'll reward you soon after with more compact growth.

Great growth, Neil!

This is going to look great once it's grown in fully and you can prune the HC to shape nicely.

Nice one!

Thats a stunning scape, really like the way you have place the rocks, certainly a different approach.

Savage growth for 8 days! well done. I cant help but wonder if a little green would look good amongst the R hand massif ?

Hi Neil.

Lovely scape.

its still early days.plenty of time for it to die yet .

Sounds like you're having a chuckle.
With growth like that, it looks like that stuff just wants to live life to the max .
Great job in such a short space of time

Re: nelson's nano 2

not a lot to say.just a pic from today to show how its going.

day 1


day 8

Going well Nelson.

What about adding something in between the stones on your right. This would make the layers stand out further more, giving more depth. Fissidins because its a slow burner just poking up in tiny areas. Or some very fine stem like myriphiliam mezianum would work too. Its very fine and very slow growing. I think if you could suggest more depth with a few additions it would improve an already interesting scape.

Cheers.

sounds like a good idea to put something in between the stones to add more depth.will look into it .
i have been meaning to add some fissidens since samc suggested it.will trim some from my other tank.

thanks guys

Magnificent, I think some flame moss in the back right and left would give really nice form reminicent of fir trees. Great growth too, you're clearly doing everything right!

:text-+1: on the flame moss - easily shapeable to suit the scape

Your growth for 8 days is incredible It looks great

don't really want to use flame moss.want to try something a bit different.
was only going to use HC and fissidens but will add a stem in the stones,like T and Graeme suggested,as i feel in needs it.

Re: nelson's nano 2

not really a lot of change.still battling a bit of algae.

Re: nelson's nano 2

I've been having algae problems and did have to temporarily keep some amano shrimp and apple snails in here.
so they have helped a bit .



the snails have wrecked the HC though .

Re: nelson's nano 2

Nelson, those intakes look great, where are they from? The tank still looks great, I'm sure it'll bounce back fine.
