Ryan's ADA 120p

Although it looks great,I think you should go with your original plan.
I know that means more wood/expense.Just don't tell the wife .
Maybe a road trip to Aquarium Gardens.

hahaha manzanita wood is not cheap. a singel wood can cost over £15to £20

also the reason i changes things around was that i didn't have enough small pieces of wood only long ones. i will keep in mind next scape i will use redmoor wood

Firstly Ryan congratulations on a cracking article in pfk, brilliant stuff. Did you shovel all the baby gear under the bed lol? Secondly as a fan of rock and wood I absolutely love your hardscape, so much so I'd not spoil it with any stems or large plants .Well done!

Cheers, Lindy

who got this

I got this from Amazon as an add-on item, honestly nice pictures, but I found the formatting of plants to be a little difficult to read, as I tend to research by locality, and I think they're alphabetical, or by family. Probably give it another look now.

They also have some nice images of really healthy plants in rivers and streams, but in all my years wading about in rivers and streams, I rarely see much abundance of green. Obviously, I do see a lot of plants, but nothing like the images they show, or the aquariums we keep

hey i saw that on amazon too. something around £4 mark right. i wanted it but i had to spend £20 or more so i got it from eBay in stead. wicked pictures and i would love to do there job go out looking for new plants

 

[Konrad Michalski]

[Ryan Thang To]

thanks ukaps for sharing on facebook

 

[Ryan Thang To]

come on andy murray!!!!!

 

[Ryan Thang To]

start adding some water in so the wood can start soaking up. its going to be a long one before plants can go in. im going to fill it up slowly and water change everyday to get rid of the tan tea colour.

cheers

Haha, apologies. .. no pressure or anything ☺ I think perhaps you mentioned earlier that you were updating on a Tuesday before... Updates anytime are exciting! You've got great patience to slowly fill your tank & change every day, I know I wouldn't have the patience!

 

[Ryan Thang To]

you gotta have patience lol its not cool when you see all you hardwork floating. manzi wood soak up really quick to be honest loads of crack and holes

 

[Ryan Thang To]

heyyy

update time. it's been awhile so so busy this days not enough time in the day. need extra few hours everyday for aquascaping lol

the moment i filled the tank up to soak up the wood i keep bumping into problems. first my tank was overloaded with mosquito lava i think it the hot weather. i spent hours nettting them tiny wigglers out and then found out my tank wasn't level. couldn't do anything by my self. tank is too heavy after hardscape was in. i manage to sort that out after and then i notice the stand had bowled abit in the left middle so i didn't want to risk it so i added some supporter.

other than that i got the tank planted last night. still need more plants. its funny i always buy too many for smaller tank but this time not enough.

will upload pictures later after work. thanks for watching

Sounds like you've had a bit of a mare... Good to get it sorted now tho' rather than later

then i notice the stand had bowled abit in the left middle so i didn't want to risk it so i added some supporter.

Doesn't sound right for a new stand.I'd be worried .

Looking forward to the pics .

i found out that it look like it was bowling alot but its very small to be honest. normally a 4ft stand should have two side supporter but mine only has 1
