Thanks, Mark. Coming from you,that means a lot. Well, I think a SW tank can also look nice. That being said, my other SW tanks are "OMG, there are corals everywhere" tanks, so I did the hardscape for coral placement rather than for looks, but for this tank, I considered the hardscape...

@George Farmer - let me know if you have any questions. Mine is taking longer to establish, but I don't need the breakneck pace. Barr used CO2 injection in his rimless grass tank, if you ever followed it. I, on the other hand, chose to make it more of a reef & went in a different direction. My...

Hello George. :D So when is this seahorse tank of yours going up? We must chat. L

Oh, thank you. I enjoy the look as well. It's not everybody's cup of tea though, which is part of the reason why I decided to go Marine with this tank. Corner tanks aren't very popular as planted tanks. L

Unfortunately, it's not a complete journal, I stopped updating it here as I was very busy at the time. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=6837 I can dig up some fts later that'll do it more justice. EDIT: found pictures. These are from March 2010. The planted scape at its height, IMO. L

Haha, that is the project for the Easter Weekend. They are desperate to be fragged. I've gotten money and frags for my macro algae. I pull some very good chaetomorpha. Grows like a weed in my refugiums. :lol: I've got 3 other SW display tanks and one quarantine. All three of the zoas you...

What grass are you using, George? Back on topic, yes, you can do a macro algae tank and yes, tanks that have dense macro growth don't require the LR that say a typical reef does. I still have some. The "easier" seagrasses tend to be Halodule and Halophila. Most require a deeper sand bed, but...

Thanks everybody. It's fun to do something off the beaten path. :) EDIT: Will somebody tell Themuleous that I got pictures of zoas for him! Lololol He fancies me zoas. :P

Hi, it's been about 100 years or so since I've posted here... I thought I'd share with you what I've been up to. I still sing and I still do planted tanks, though I've ventured into SW now as well. Way too many pictures, sorry. :) Well, this old tank... Has now become this tank... Well...

Hydrocotyle verticillata (I think). Grows in my back yard and can be adapted for aquatic use. It is a rhizome-type stemplant, kind of like marsilea in its growth habits. The lighting is that crappy PC lighting you and I have discussed. It has a nice color temp, though, nice on the eyes. It...

Re: lljdma06's .77wpg, no-CO2, 36g journal. The Crypt Keepe You may ask all the "cheeky" questions you want. :lol: It is the bogwood tannins. When you only change the water once every 2 months, they accumulate... Imagine the color if I waited as long as you do for waterchanges! You...

Almost a year is long enough for an update, right? Some updated shots from this scape. Pictures are from May, before I left for Italy. Tank looks the same. After all, it is a low-light tank. A little dirty. Thanks for looking.

Re: lljdma06's New Nano Dutch! Photo update, August 20th Been a million years. SuperColey1 and I were talking and I thought I'd post the final scape pictures. I went on a trip to Italy in May (Studied voice) and actually had dismantled the tank in March. Didn't exactly come out the way I...

Re: lljdma06's New Nano Dutch! 8/20 photo update Thank you. New pictures. Thanks for looking. :)

Re: Matts 60L That is a very low HC carpet. Great job! I bet that took forever to initially plant. I like the use of crypts and their play on the wood as well. Manzanita, correct? llj :)
