Gorgeous shots Stu!

Thanks Casar. I would say the main difference between the Do!aqua and the ADA is that the Do lily points downwards so if you have a carpet or sand then you have to turn the flow from the filter down or you end up with substrate all around the tank (but luckily no dust) whereas the ADA points left and not down. Due to this I'd say I prefer the look of the lily but I would prefer the flow characterisics of the ADA. I think they do a jet type Do!Aqua as well though. Pics below.Kazuya said:Great pictures. Love the scape. I am really considering getting a Mini. Just have to wait till I setup the 90P.
A couple of questions is you do not mind.
Is there a big difference in the Do aqua outflow pipe and the ADA Lily pipe mini?
Do you notice and differences in the Africana as a pose to Amazonia?
Asking because the Book of ADA says that plants grow slower and it also help to lower pH more than the others.
Just want a first hand account of it.
Best regards,
Cesar
I think its either 1mm or 1.5mm. It was some spare I had in my bonsai toolbox and it didnt come off a roll. It was from here - http://www.greendragonbonsai.co.uk/BONSAI_WIRE_AT_GREEN_DRAGON_BONSAI.htmghostsword said:Hi Stu, what thickness is the bonsai wire you are using?
Nice one nayr, did you get any pics you could put up as its a rare thing to see growing.nayr88 said:looking ream mate haha,
the e.hydropiper went brown an disapeared quickly for me, so i ordered a 2nd pot and that one hung around for some time. stunning little plant.
cheers
George Farmer said:Shame about the Elatine hydropiper mate - I've still not seen that used effectively in the UK. The fine texture would have given a better sense of scale than glosso.
Regardless, the whole 'scape does, and will continue to look wonderful! One of the best nanos around (and that's from an aquascaping perspective, not just photography).

Thanks Ianianho said:great growth Stu! Looks great mate!
Yup, it seems to be working really well. Will look a bit ugly for a bit but is so easy to apply and remove over cotton for small areas.ghostsword said:Thanks mate, I never thought of using the wires, great idea, much easier than fishing line.
ah but you are mistaken kind sir! Thats actually glosso in the front which has replaced the hydropiper as it failed dismallynayr88 said:wow, that was a quick! the hydropiper already looks better than mine did .
Sounds more like a cal aqua set if its more stubby?nayr88 said:i had a do aqua lilly set, didnt look like those pictures though, was a little like the 1st one pictured but more stubby.
