Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner' (PFK featured)

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

Started ei but mixed with water. Currently using a 'special N' type mix from apfuk and trace mix...having a few issues at the moment. Just ordered some normal ei macro salts and will be dosing a 'proper' regime from then onwards. Was having better sucees with TPN+ but think ive been cocking up dosing macro and micro one after the other on the same day :rolleyes:

Ah i see... Easilly done though - my plants seem to be responding well, although i was just a bit concerned about the fish when dropping salts in the water, although the fish seem fine so far....

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

I am getting a few of you PM'ing me asking about the skimmer - im due to do a pipe clean soon so i'll have the skimmer off and take some pics of it and the parts i have modified. im using it with the eheim grey installation sets, but guess it can be used with any really.
Photos to follow....

lol, I did not realise it was so popular, I might invest in some Wilkos shares now :lol:

It does work well though and tools always to hand :thumbup:
 
Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

Well, a bit of an update on this scape... I stripped it all down last Saturday and have totally redone it, I'll be posting some pics up soon :thumbup:
 
Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

Me too :thumbup:
Did you just fancy a change?
 
Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

Yes I just though a change would be nice, the last few tanks I've done have always had carpet of grass of some sort, this time ive gone for some Fiji course sand! Against the green of the plants it looks ace... I'll get some pics up soon :thumbup:

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner' (re-scaped)

Right then, at last a couple of photos of my re-scape - gone is the grass to a more open fuji sand path way, to under the wood cave... the fish seem to love it! :thumbup: This was planted about 3 weeks ago and already the plants are starting to fill in nicely - I have just started dosing EI, so hopefully things will still progress.
Not the best quality photos, but you get the idea...

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner'

Considering how difficult corner tanks are supposed to be to scape you have the nack of rolling great scapes out one after another, this is another belter Gary :clap:
I particularly like how natural the stone positions look.
Really like marbled hatchet fish too :)
Cheerio
