May 12, 201115 yr comment_434333 You should take the equipment out next time you photograph. Heater, drop checker etc. Very nice tank but beauty is spoiled with them. just a thought. Could look good as your screen saver then too :thup: Report

May 14, 201115 yr Author comment_434590 UPDATE Planted to day some dwarf sag, dwarf hg and some umbrosum. Added the new Co2 mist diffuser, amazing micro bubbles everywhere. I needed to tighten my Co2 fittings to handle the extra pressure required. Water was a bit cloudy after a mega water change and a few spots of GSA.. Crappy camera for this photo Report

May 15, 201115 yr Author comment_434778 Changed the lighting today from 2x36w tubes to a 70w halide. The hairgrass at the back needs a trim but will wait until it's thickened up before shaping. Can't wait till the umbrosum grows in.... Report

I've thought about a bigger tank, but it's taken a lot of investment to get all the gear for this one and I've still got a shopping list! :slfg: I'm currently house hunting and have a baby on the way, so my wife would throw me out if I went and bought a 120cm opti-white Report

May 22, 201115 yr Author comment_435885 UPDATE Tanks progressing well, just need to sort the front right corner where it's a bit too shaded for glosso. Co2 comes on an hour earlier than before and seems to be making a difference. Needs a trim... Report
May 23, 201115 yr comment_436026 Looking nice :thup: I think you should replace the glosso with Echinodorus tenellus, because it grows more bushy and fuller and has a nice grassy texture which I think will look nicer with the moss and Java Fern Plus the glosso looks a bit too bright next to the dark colour of the moss and fern, and the E. tenellus is darker which I reckon will look better. Hairgrass is looking great, I really like it :thup: Report
