Forget the 'scapes! The photography is awesome.

Nicely presented too. I you have time Mark, a step-by-step on how you do the background to the photos would be great.

thanks George, i may due a post on the subject soon 8)

I've worked away for a couple of days and I've just popped in to see the tank. it seems my mum runs a better tank than me :wideyed: it appears there starving!....they've seen off my cardamine lyrata. :lol: with 30 odd red shrimp a dozen amano shrimp 5 otts, and proper dosing in the first place, i can safely say there's no algae what so ever. it's probably the "cleanest" tank i've run. in goes the cucumber.

the MA scape is spotless at the mo too 8)
 
here's mr shrimpy. theres about 40 or so in this tank now.

i've given the tank i right butchering too! 8) well the stems at least.
 
i'll be ripping this riccia breeding tank down at the weekend. :lol:

i cant be bothered to go through with the whole trimming lark, as it's just a fun tank....mums fun tank at that! :lol:

to be re scaped with plants I've never grown before!

BTW mum did a good job of dosing and stuff...it's the "cleanest" tank i've had. but ridiculously untidy. the riccia spread like wild fire in the glosso, but i will use only in a tank that i can take full control over.

for anyone that might be remotely interested.... :?

changing 1 tube can bring on amazing growth. I've changed the combination to what I've got in MA scape and the difference is awesome. maybe not to everyone's tastes but it seems to work for me.

sorry to bore you with more photos, but I'm practising final shots. and looking to see how they might turn out. i didn't take out the kit, (you can see the lilly pipe still) but it is only practise.

lets hope the fish play on the day of photography
