No mate. It's ADA Manten stone. And it's VERY expensive. That piece they are on is about £35

Yes mate. I think I'm going to rescape this tank in the new year. I've got an Idea up my sleeve it'll involve a lot more Manten stone though!!

Salvinia Minima:
Looking great Nath, that moss is mega!

Certainly is mate, Its getting huge, going to get a little trim soon!
Thanks, contemplating a complete overhaul on it though, more natural looking.

Just put some hair grass and hydrocotle in, they make everything mossy look natural!....or are you thinking biotope natural?
What moss is it again mate? I wouldn't mind purchasing some trimmings....I've got branches still to moss up!

I was thinking more biotope natural, but I'm unsure about sourcing Chinese woods that would be present in streams etc. was going to completely leaf the bottom. Will definitely have a look into the biotope, as that aspect really interests me.
The moss is weeping on the main manzanita branch mate, has a little Green thread algae, which will go away with co2 for sure.
I've also just introduced a species of salvinia, this may have an effect by dappling light and sucking up any nutrients in the Water column.
Your welcome to some when i do cut it FoC mate.
I still haven't got the shrimp numbers you have got in yours yet
I'm waiting for them to berry again.Cheers,
Sounds cool mate, would be great to see a biotope CRS set up.
Maybe to do with your higher grade shrimp being a little slower to reproduce/survival rates? Or the fact that my CRS tank has been running forever now!
Moss would be appreciated, wouldn't expect it foc though..... If it were mine I wouldn't wanna cut it at all when its looking so nice!
Cheerio,
Ady.

Much to my surprise!

Quite a difference in colour compared to the Red:
There's literally CRS babies everywhere in here. Quite surprised, as the tanks fairly dense and I can still spot maybe close to 10 out in open.
A very nice natural-looking tank

Probably so the shrimp don't go walk abouts.

your fissidens looks awesome... does it have high requirements buddy?
Same as mosses, does well in low tech with no ferts or CO2. Just grows very very slow
