not if i do it before 12pm german time haha yea i was thinking that i want all the peices of wood to be covered in moss to the very tip. itd look better, i think.

okey doke we'll call it FTS friday coming at you with a fts from an undisclosed location somewhere in germany every friday. ok FTS friday update #1 algae report: diatoms is the only algae i have noticed. i am combating this with a crew of otocinclus affinis, they are doing a great job, unfortunately they dont take it off the HCs lower leaves as visible in the photo. im also doing a 50% water change every 2nd day. MISC info: also to be seen in the forground are zipties, these have been utilized to keep the carpet down. Stop floating, let roots establish. i was worried about the epyplatus annulatus and the current. my fears have been disregaurded as unneccesary as they are fine. infact super active in all water columns. Death toll report: unfortunately the brother hood of the 5 Oto's has been cut down to 4. i have been told that some otos die relatively quickly after being introduced. this must be the case as all other fish are still kicking. so now for the FTS

took some more photos do you like it when i just take random shots? should i just stick to a weekly update? my favourite shot of the day

hey guys i was wandering throught the internet, as i so often do. when i stumbled upon this idea. which provoked the though why on earth not. so here it its my Nutella scape aquarium 300g nutella glass substrate fluval stratum CO2 5ml of carbonated water daily hard scape dragon stone light desk lamp plants E. parvula hm "cuba" enjoy

the otos are making remarkably quick work of the diatoms! :thup:

i'veseen this plant in the interwebs to. not in newzealand though

oh cool be interesting to see what they like to eat

very cool what will you be feeding them? i cant imagen algae being able to sustain such a large amount of shrimp.

i wanted otocinclus cocama but couldnt find any, im on the waiting list if some get imported wasnt aware epyplatus were availible in new zealand yea way cheaper than nelson haha thanks

they're great eh $4.50 nzd haha $6 on the epyplatus

got some fish today 5 otocinclus affinis the lads making quick work of the diatoms :bggrn: 2 aplyplatus annulatus female show-off male somepearling taiwan moss a different angle

fish

as said intensional cruelty to animals is sickening. however they are capable of enviroment damage when theyy get together innuge numbers. in goldenbay they are often found in the thousands. organised culling is neccesary to minimise the damage they can cause.

:cophot: and nice fish

Is Sams Tank Big enough?

Haha just something i Said

you've got a keen eye cam know your way around a beer bong aye? looking forward to see this progress

everyone to their own im not saying its wrong, i just dont like it. not my style haha

im no ps pro haha i dont really use, but ms paint wouldnt have done the job hey its all up to you

bosemani rainbows! they have blue on them

technically its a nice tank the planting is nice etc but i just dont linke cheesy bits haha

i hope its ok that i photo shopped your photo, heres what id do ps added a few cheeky polysperma

tank 1i fully agree the underwater portion really is lacking tank 2 disagree the hydeocotyle tripatita nicely out lines the other grouping of plants, it draws the eye to the wood that sticks out, the only peice of visible hard scape. i think its a nice scape, not great but nice.

missed this aquarium, it wass a stall so not in the contest

Yes. Yea Those were Great to, the Below water portion wasnt great though. Im using the Canon 40D with a 18-55ml lense with IS
