Thanks Jack, yes i preffer that one too. A bit of trial and error with the front stones from here i think. It's one thing to set them into dry compost, i hope i'm not swearing at instability when in wet Aquasoil...

An inline and new filter would be an extra expense, so i'd try for the replacement, not what you'd expect from an Ehiem... Either way, i hope your filter issues get sorted soon mate, it's one to flood and admire for sure:thumbup: Pete.

It looks good, has plenty of room for the kit and top workmanship to boot, i think that cabinet is dreaming of palettes of green above too:thumbup: Pete.

OK chaps, here is another variation, same same but different... Dove from above The more smaller pieces i add the more the depth seems exagerated, which is fine. Once the fiddly bits come out, the more i think it should have a gravel front perhaps, like a coastline. Easy street would be...

Thanks Nathan It's actually 2 pieces, which i think look their best this way, as opossed to 'split'. Even though i got the largest piece in Thailand, together it's probably more than that figure:rolleyes: Banking up the aquasoil is gonna cost a bit too, or i could let some Hydrocotle fill the...

Hi Sanj I got mine from them years ago, using a friends german missus to help me at the checkout:rolleyes: It's the 2000L rated one, 17mm in and on top and i may move it on later this year, if i can't tolerate UP microbubbles any more... As you probably need a fix sooner, maybe richard at AE...

Looks good Vito, HC can be a pain to get going, particullarly for CO2/flow reasons. Your UP inline may reduce flow, but if you try it, the visible microbubbles may reveal if the one lily pipe outlet is doing 'enough' low down over the substrate...

Greetings 'scapers A couple of photos of an Iwagumi style idea for my 100x50cm. Plants are likely to be Riccia stones and Glosso in the front. Hairgrass and a Blyxa tufts at the back, possibly some stems behind the main stones... Please excuse photography, background and tempoary use of...

Looking very nice george, is that a 'new' variety of ludwigia?

Looks good, i think your plant choice will suit very well:thumbup:

Nice start, looks quality, no pressure with the scape then:rolleyes: What are the specs of each LED unit please? Cree, Osram K rating etc?

The ADA is good as a complete system, but you'll probably run out of Brighty K before you use step 2/3 , so it will definately cost more in the long run. Depending on your plant choices, lighting and CO2 requirements, EI may be the way to go from the outset. As you already have the powders...

Hi Justin Mini landsape are quite popular, but i voted for Dragon Stone, a little biased as i may have some for sale soon:D PM me if you need some pieces... Cheers, Pete.

Mine never completely cleared, so i put an extra non return valve close to the gas inlet and upped the input pressure to 2.3 BAR, now i just get a bit of condensation left.

Hi Murf The green Ehiem stuff is 25/34mm part number 4007940, but i also use some 1inch clear tube, needs a bit of hot water softening to fit it mind...
