Thank you so much. I will get one for a houseplant for a dark corner in my edit studio, I will let you guys now what I think of it. And I will look into the Kessil H160's as well for my aquarium.

Hi, Is there someone who has experience with led lightning from Ali Express. I am thinking about buying this: https://bit.ly/2Ov6RjR But it would be great if there is somebody out there who has some experience with this particular lightning or something simular. Is it any good or are there...

Just read this journal. Great if you want to go low-tech http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/nelsons-comeback-low-tech.38351/ Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

I bought this http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32367852032.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail. Really great and cheap automatic dimmer. And you can always hang you're led's higher and grow some great emersed plants. . Then you can still use the full potentiel of you're lights. And btw I...

Wow that looks great. That vine is a very creative solution. Plants look healthy to me. Imho why do you want to add CO2? I saw some great looking low tech tanks around here. I've made the mistake that I wanted everything at once. It has costed me 8 months a lot of money and a lot of...

Wow thanks... I'm having the same issue. Cut it the moss near the hardscape. Thats's a great rule of thumb.

Very nice... Can't wait for the plants to grow in.

I've already got a small nursery with old aquarium lightning and some IKEA boxes. But I haven't got any room left ;). I'm waiting for a shipment from China (alibaba) for some cheap led grow lamps. In photoshop I'm working on a masterplan for this 'scape' I wanted to ask you're opinion on that...

Thanks Richard. It was a great learning proces. The famous football player Cruyff said: "You don't see it till you get it". I still don't get it completely but after a year I see it a little bit better.;)

That's too bad... :( I'm not too worried about mine. It grows really fast and I think I want it out anyway. Sometimes I get plants for free from my local aqua store to try and this was one of them. It's a nice looking plant but personally I love plants with small leaves.

You're absolutely right. I always have a difficult time throwing plants in the garbage... But you're absolutely right!

Thanks Nelson :) Thanks Roy. You're the inspiration... Just so you know. Thanks :happy:... Yes they are just under an IKEA lamp. But my apartment is fairly bright so it's possible they also like the indirect sunlight. I ordered 2 grow led's (http://tinyurl.com/govkkjb) to experiment with...

Very nice Roy. Always wondering how you keep them so healthy. I posted my 2 Wabi Kusa's http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/first-2-wabi-kusas.40469/ :)

Hi, Here's my first Wabi Kusa. When I started I did realize how difficult the cleaning would be of the glass. But actually do it is a pain in the but. So after 2 days starting this one I started another one.

Quick update. Moved around some plants and put some new plants in. I got rid of the hairgrass and put some of the cuttings of the Helianthus Micranthemoides in the left corner. In the back i'm growing (not visible yet) Pogostemon Erectus, Ludwig palustris, Myriophyllum tuberculatum (not doing...

Thank you... I'm pretty convinced the Amano's are to blame they have such a voracious appetite. Anyway I put in some cucumber and wafers in tonight. I have been a bit lazy with the veggies lately (which the amano's eat too btw).

Thank you so much. After the water chemistry was ruled out I already thought the Amano shrimps were the perpetrators but thanks for the confirmation. I also thought I was overfeeding them o_O. I'm relieved that is isn't something toxic... Thanks again.

I find it odd that some animal would eat this (and this much) in 1 night. So I thought it had something to do with the water chemistry of my tap water... But maybe you guys are right and my first suspect would be the shrimps as they are with many. I have some snails but they are all rather...

I don't have any Pleco, Ancistrus. I have 6 Otocinclus vittatus and 2 Garra Flavatra and 20 Canadian Japonica. Maybe the shrimps?

This morning I noticed problems with Nymphoides hydrophylla 'Taiwan'. The plant grows very very fast so it's not a big problem I just want to understand what has happened and what I can do to prevent this. I'm a bit scared that this plant is a sort of like the canary in the mines. Last night it...

Stunning!

Wow awesome. Could you post more info and/ or pictures on the technical side if things? I'm also experimenting with emersed growing... But this is really three levels beyond that :)

Nice... Maybe it's an idea to make a moss bridge between the two rocky islands. :) http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/tropical-bay.34531/page-7 In my experience the Anubias is better placed in a more shady place. Otherwise it will get some sort of algae because of it's slow growth. Good luck.

Nice... Who am I to comment you're great work... but :-)... I would consider the flow of you're tank and how you place your rocks. If I look at the wood I think that the flow will be from left to right..? So try to image how the rocks would shape if they are there for a long time. Also I would...

Whaaa!!!! Awesome!!! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Nice... Did you get any new shrimps since your sister-in-law?

Thanks Troi for the compliment... I feel honored. And thanks for liking Foxfish, Bson, rodoselada... :)

Time for an update... Finally it looks like the plants are more and more thriving (pearling and such:))and I seem to get more control over what I'm doing. Still i'm having some algae issues hopping from one to the other. But now that I seem to get more control over the aquarium environment I'm...

Hahaha... :) we made a pilot last summer of 5 short episodes containing this scene. There are a lot of great scenes but I had to pick one with the least amount of dialog for here. But the show was so well received by critics and audience that we're going to make 10 episodes of it.

It's from Jiskefet the show ran in the Netherlands from 1990 to 2005. Very popular in the time and still is.

Both are gorgeous... My personal favorite tend to be the older one. How long did you maintain it?

Excuse me for the lack of updates... I had a lot of trouble with this tank. It started this summer. While I was on holiday in France my (really friendly) neighbor who i've asked to do the daily dose kept the lights on for 24 hours a day. I don't know if anybody on this forum can imagine what...

Very nice cabinet and scape. I'm following this thread...

I was wondering if anybody knows, if and if so how much damage does our nice hobby causes to the environment? When I put these different kinds of Aqua Soil in my aquarium i've always got this picture in my head of big trucks who are digging up whole rainforests. Just to let me enjoy my little...

I also think that one is awesome! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Hi, I personally love the aquascape video's on Youtube. I love the one's from the Green Machine and from Tropica. But what is you're personal favorite? I think my opinion about what I like about an aquascape shifted a little bit, but I still like this one very much: .

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. It's indeed a very nice scape and even more impresive due to the minimal equipment. Before I posted this I already looked for a juwel hood with 4xt5 without any succes but for my understanding its 2x2 t5's? Nice... Thanks again for all the info. It's...

Hi, I really would like to try something like this http://tropica.com/en/inspiration/layout/Layout81/5285 with just an internal filter and C02 of course . But before I start I really would like to know more about the specs. Because I read that there are 4x45w T5's used... Is this true and if...

I've got this magnetic valve http://tinyurl.com/q79vvmg. And it snaps really loud when it's going on (is this normal?). Already i've got three broken time switches. The first one I doubted the quality of it but It can't all be the bad quality of the time switches can it? Has someone encountered...

Well here my third update. I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently. You know work, kids, girlfriend, work, social life... Aquarium 09-05-2015 Lots of things happened. The root got loos again. But I managed to get it down again. I rearranged some plants in the meantime. I think I'm gonna...

Awesome... Really inspirational. Would you like to post some close ups? And what kind of wood did you collect? From what kind of trees? I'm always for the lookout for cool looking branches but I don't have the knowledge what kind I can use and what not.

Well as promised here's my 2nd picture: I think it's less gorgeous then after the initial setup. But I've been warned that things were about to get uglier before they got better. It's funny I just realized that by taking a picture it's easier for me to see what's wrong with the scape. I'm...

Hi Green, I could not get the photo's right on time. Asap... I'm definitely gonna try Wabi-Kusa... I've already looked at you're amazing works. I especially liked the Stream (the lightbulb), I'll let you know when I have something. 1 thing at a time.

Hi Green, I'll try to share a new picture tonight. I'm happy how the left side is starting to grow the hairgrass and the stem's. The Hemianthus Callitrichoides is still not going as I would like although things are slightly improving. Also the Staurogyne Sp. lost a lot of leaves in the process...

One of my favorites, very nice. Please keep updating this journal despite the lack of change... :)

Good point, I'll try to do that! I have a nice pair of scissors for the brown strands :) And thanks for the compliment.

Wow absolutely stunning!!! Could you tell how long you will keep it in this condition before you're going to rescape it approximately? When I look at you're flickr photo's (stunning again!!) I see a lot of tanks with two filters. From which size tank would you recommend that or does it depend...

Thnx Tam. It's nice to get some mental support :). I'll update this journal in about a week or so. Maybe a new pic if things are beginning to look better.

I decided to give this scape another shot so I didn't have to start all over again. Yesterday I drained it all, secured the root with a rock and secured all the Microsorium Pteropus (Java Fern) and the Vesicularia Montagnei (christmas moss) better then before. The Hemianthus Callitrichoides...

Welcome... How's you're 5ft tank coming along?

Thnx Greenfinger. I had some misfortune this morning. When I was trimming down the stem plants I accidentally hit the wood and it went loose... With the help of some rocks I managed to get it in (somewhat different) position again. But now I'm really unhappy about how things look. I'm thinking...

Hi everyone, Here's my first aquascape (yesterday 14 march 2015). I think I am happy with the hardscape. But I got a little bit carried away in the shop with all the plants that i bought. And now I understand after filling the tank why people would choose for a dry start : /. Tank: Juwel Rio...

A little bit more then ten years ago I owned a 54 litre Juwel. I loved it and had a lot of ambitious ideas of how to set up and scape a new tank. But a lack of space, resources and constantly moving as a student from little room to little room made an end to this idea. Now ten years later I...
