if it's going to be done, do it properly is my motto :D the planting was easy. the moss stones took the time.

Forgive me if im mistaken, is that a real thin thin layer of sand youplaced at the front or is there no depth, if i right, whats the reson? out ofinterest not rudeness. im learning.

:D

hey, no probs. i don't like to see 2 inch of sand. it also can lead to unwanted algaes. so spread it thin at the front....hey presto, less problems.

thanks to everyone for the kind kind words :thumbup:

hey, cheers paulo. i need to learn the moss skills from the likes of yourself.

everything is doing great. the rotala in places is at the top, but were large to begin with.

aciularis is spreading.....

the r walichii is growing nicely too. i've never had this before, so I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome.
 
Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape

I hadn't seen that picture that Dan Crawford linked above. What amazing texture in this setup. It looks to me like a scene you would see at your feet in an alpine meadow.

Are those elegantly refined hot pink and orange clothes pins permanent fixtures for the setup, or a temporary fix?

Moss just grows mate, secret of nice mosses is to have lots of shrimp in the tank, you will never have a problem with them ;)

I remember thinking back now, when I removed my cherries from my main tank to place in the shrimp only tank, my moss wall and the rest of the tank just turned to crap.

Similar style to the Maidenhead one you did a while back which you know was my favourite you've done... I'm looking forward to seeing the rotala tranformation ;)

cheers jase.

yes it's similar. my intention really.

I feel, for me to progress I must learn certain styles to a high standard rather than moving from one style to another.I'm not good enough to move on just yet, when compared to the Asian scene were streets behind. Iwagumi or just general stone layout's is something I want to become good at hence this layout. :D

and the rotala wallichii :)

Jase said:
Any plans to enter the Pico competition?

i've got the glass,and been playing around with layouts, so who knows. 8)

and the rotala wallichii

I used that in my main tank, never did anything quickly so i tore it out, cut it right back and still nothing

i have had a similar experience with r.wallichii, i presumed mine didnt take off becuase of the lack of light :crazy:
