Saintly's 240L 'savannah dreaming' scape finished

Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

is that bullosa in the nano?

i have some in my emersed setup. i was thinking of using it in my next setup, but have no idea how it grows. do you?

did you ever find out what the little crypt was in the nano was too? it was a beauty. i have crpyts on the mind :D
 
Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

no mate. it's a different species. i forget which one. thown the ticket :lol:

i do have bullosa for the 120cm though. from my little experience with it, it remains quite small with bullated leaves. quite stunning actually.

i've also read this. i put it in a nano with no extra ferts etc. it stayed small. thats said, in a high tech set up it could grow big. I'm unsure where to place it in the 120. dilema!

Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

Looks really good!

Love that woodwork!

More pics!!!!!!!! :geek: :geek:
 
Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

Brilliant! I much prefer this hardscape arrangement than the dry one you showed us a few pages back.
 
Stunning scape! I'm completely in awe.

Now for the less fun part, waiting for it to florish.

A pleasure to read, thanks for posting.
 
Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

Lovely, Mark! You should be happy with that - I certainly would be. :D

Excellent hardscape selection and layout + effective plant choice + decent gear + good maintenance = potentially stunning aquascape.

It would have been interesting to see the E. tenellus you had planned but maybe it was a blessing in disguise not using it.

I really look forward to seeing this one mature. Not only for the evolution of the aquascape in terms of growth and overall development, but I know the photography is going to be incredible.

Remind us all about the tank specs, fert schedule, water changes etc. etc., please.
 
Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming'

Thanks guys. :D

Man! I'm sold on in-line diffusers! first time using them, their amazing. The misting is incredible, and reaches every part of the tank! The HC is pearling it's ass off, the full length of the tank.

Thanks George viktor, tom, flygja, ceejay and andy, oh and that welsh dude in wales! :wave: for your words. :thumbup:

sure dude.

tank, 120 x 45 x 45
1 X 150w MH (raised high) with 1 x 54w t5 backlighting.(the difference is amazing)

co2 via in-line diffuser, with solenoid
5 x 10L columbo flora base substrate
1 x eheim filter (adding 1 x superfish)

W/C every other day for maybe 2 weeks. I'll gauge it.

ferts are bottled EI, dosed liberally, no easycarbo.This is new ground, as i'm not going the full EI route.

I'll post some more pics and info later. :thumbup:
