Hi all,
This is my first ever vlog! I hope you like it.
It's a different style to my usual videos. The production level is lower (recorded on iPad with minimal editing) but it's a more relaxed style and insight into my life as an aquascaper.
Please give me ideas for future vlogs and I'll...
Hi all
I set this up about 7 weeks ago. To be honest wasn't sure about the lighting - it measured 5 umol at the substrate! However, all the plants are growing and I'm even getting red R. rotundifolia!
Using Colombo range (soil, ferts, liquid CO2), non-CO2 gas injection. Aquafleur plants.
Hi all,
I recently set up this little tank. Quite an impressive all-in-one system suitable for beginners.
I'll update videos every week and post photos as and when.
Hi all,
This is my latest project. Please excuse the poor photo quality taken with my phone.
Crystal Red Shrimp non-CO2 aquascape by George Farmer, on Flickr
It's going to be dedicated to crystal red shrimp (CRS) and I hope to get them breeding. The tank is in my office at work.
The tank...
Last summer I got in touch with Jonny Smith, car journalist and TV presenter, probably best known from Fifth Gear.
Jonny's been a keen fishkeeper since he was a child, but he admitted his tank had seen better days, and accepted the offer of a makeover.
The tank is viewable from three sides so...
Hi all,
This is my latest 'scape. I set it up 6 weeks ago but have been too busy to take photos since then, except the occasion iPhone pics I've put on Twitter. I've only actually done two 50% water changes since then too, which is a bit naughty in new tank!
It's a South America-themed tank...
Hi Alessandro and welcome to UKAPS!
You can certainly grow healthy plants very well and algae-free - congratulations!
3ml Tropica+ per day and 3ml EasyCarbo per day is a good starting point.
There is no need to get rid of the carbon in the filter. It will convert to biological filtration...
Here's my latest set-up, a 25cm acrylic cube.
I live away from home during weekdays, as my workplace is around a 90 minute drive. My accommodation is small but comfortable, and a little Iwagumi is a nice addition I feel.
Here's the tank supplied with its original LED lighting that was...
I’m really pleased to be able to share with you all my latest aquascape. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera during the setting up stage so these are the first photos I could get.
The aquascape is just 7 days old in these shots and it’s progressing nicely. Hairgrass and glosso sending...
It's been too long since my last journal! Better late than never, I guess... :D
Here's my current nano, an Orca MT30. It's a mish-mash of plants that have been donated or left over from other 'scapes. I've just let it grow really. No real design. I quite like the wild look and it's a...
This is my latest project. Inspired by Peter Kirwan's superb Mountainscape.
A full step-by-step will be featured in the next Tropica Newsletter, followed by a live presentation at the Interzoo in Germany in May with the likes of Oliver Knott attending.
Tank - 30x20x20cm Clearseal

My Juwel Rio 125. Photo taken with my new Canon 10D, after 34 days of growth.
I think the left ned to lighten up and the narrow fern needs to mature.
Another 4 or 5 weeks I reckon to "completion".
Light - 4 x JBL 18w T8, 9 hours
