332 day update 🙈

59 days update Things are going ok I would say. I got some staghorn which I have manually removed. I also read about to much iron might be the cause so I halved the dose.

Week 4 update Crenata stil melts here and there. I can’t really understand why. But I do see some growth in some spots that have recovered. My last scapes never melted so I’m kind of confused. I have added at least 12 clithon corona and 6 amano’s.

Thank you! i hope that as well

2 weeks have passed and everything is going as expected I think. Starting to see growth which feels good. Some crypts have melted and some marsilea crenata have also melted which spawned some thread algae. diatoms on some leaves. Other than that I like the tank :)

So last year we decided to do some renovations to our home and set up a new wall to make a new bedroom I had to break down my tank. The new wall was going where my tank stood... I did not want or to risk anything to move it so i stripped it down. Now almost a year later I decided to start it up...

So you could just have the valve set to man-closed for the first few weeks to just read the PH value. Cool

I have this system as well but I have not started my aquarium yet due to the cold and plants not able to be delivered. Any how , I’m going to use tropica and I know it’s going to lower the PH. My PH from tap is around 8 and KH at 5. I have seen jurijs use this system in some of his costumer...

Mine is from JBL 17 €. Cheaper than eheim

Double tap quick couplings is really convenient. I also have these hose/pipe attachment things I found at the hardware store.

I don't have any pictures of my feet. I installed some diy led lights inside as well

nice! I put feet in the middle on mine, i think its advisable to do so. i used these feets: https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/eket-fot-justerbar-metall-70340044/

I think I used 45mm

Lol, I had a hard time source everything here in Sweden. +Sending it to you you would be expensive. Would be easier for you to buy the Aqua Medic 1000 :)

Thanks, I built it myself: https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/diy-reactor-pictures-assembly-and-testing.4626/page-8

Everything is going great. Plants are sending out roots and I see growth everywhere. I really enjoy using a reactor with no bubbles visual appart from the pearling that plants sends out :)

Tank is going great so far. I have been doing daily water changes from last Wednesday to this Wednesday and now turning to every other day. My CO2 turns on 3hrs before lights on and I'm running at 2bps. Anyone know why the UG is growing sideways?

I would like to know what pressure u have with the reactor. Does it make any difference from 1.5bar to 2.5bar.

So this Wednesday I received my plants and planted it. Everything went smoothly. The only downside was the elatine hydropiper gave off a really bad smell when I opened it and decided I did not want to use it, all the top parts where had nice leaves but the rest was brown in color and its roots...

Made a order of plants today. Cant wait to get things started

Thanks for showing some videos of how to achieve beach effects. I actually have some scapes that i got my inspiration from and wanting to sort of replicate and the first one is from southback aqua: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaRwoxljDX/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet the second scape...

This is the plant list im looking at. feedback? =) Riccardia sp. "chamedryfolia" Rotala wallichii Rotala sp. "Nanjenshan" Bucephalandra sp. "Mini Needle Leaf" Bucephalandra sp. "Lamandau Mini Red" Bucephalandra sp. "Lamandau Purple" Riccardia sp. "graeffei" Utricularia...

I might try extending it. I was trying to recreate a stone shore line =) That straight line in the front i was thinking to place various buces that sits near the sand to replicate bushes. Thanks! didnt notice that, will work on it Thank you! Like i wrote to Tim i will place various buce's to...

After receiving all the materials to start hardscaping this is what I came up with. Do you think I should extend the sand all the way to the left? This is my second time hardscaping ever but I want it to come out perfect, but I guess I cannot be to hard on my self.

I thought I should share my upcoming scape. I got this ADA 90P with light included for a good price. Second hand ADA tanks are rarely sold here so I could not stop my self purchasing it. What I plan to use: Specs ADA 90P DIY stand Micmol G2 Aqua Air Series 900 Planted Eheim Frofessional 4+...

? I had a word with aquasabi and they told me they didn't want to sell it because of the noise the fans do. Is it anything you notice? Could you change the fans to noctua :)? Also how did the shading go?

for the hole I'm going to 3Dprint grommets

I'm looking for lighting to my 90P and found this model on a swedish site but it's really hard to find reviews or pictures with tanks using this light. And this site is the only one I have found that provides a spectrum on the freshwaterversion 7000k and spectrum looks nice...

Looks like they have different https://m.alibaba.com/product/60727951184/detail.html?spm=a277m.product-list.0.0

Found this while browsing: https://m.alibaba.com/product/60726870370/detail.html?spm=a277m.product-list.0.0 Looks like UNS use these. Thoughts? I'm looking for lighting options to my 90P I can get this light from a supplier. Should I? :)

So 2 week's later and I'm almost finished, I am waiting on hinges :) tanks for all info!

So i have found all the parts for this build and im exited to see how it works. What I am waiting for now is a tube that is inserted from the top down to the bottom like the Aqua Medic 1000 has. I made a little mistake when i first had the parts because i got so exited and decided to drill a...

I am copying this build :) PS. this should be moved to finished builds

Very satisfying reaction

Ok, cool thanks!

Can't seem to find any information about it

Is there any specific order you mix everything?

Thanks for everything you have explained. I have come up with a mixture that is exactly like : https://www.advancedplantedtank.com/apt-fertilizer.html And then i remember about reading about James planted tank all in one : LINK And this thread : EI all in one So i have come up with this recipe...

Thanks for that analysis but it seems ADA's new ferts is not included. I was just trying to replicating that 1ml/20L = ppm?? if you understand.

Hi everyone. So for my next scape in trying the ADA substrate system and I am planning on mixing my salts to resemble the ada liquid linup. But I have a hard time trying to find information on what 1ml/20L gives me from these: Brighty K Green Brighty Mineral Green Brighty Iron Green Brighty...

Where can i find the 1,5" to 0,5" reducers?

I have made some adjustments to the stones + moved some of the wood. What do you guys think?

Thanks for that advice. I will try That stone was just leftover :) It is hard to see but there is pockets between all stones

I'm working on the hardscape after tearing down my first aquascape ever when I had a fault lever on my pump. I now have a small 33L to house my shrimps and Otto's. What I'm working with is loa rocks and redmoore roots. Anything I can improve?

I don't, why asking?

Thanks for your input :)

Thanks, I think I will add some more mosses :)

I'm setting up a low tech 33L 48x25x30cm tank with Leddy Smart Plant 2. I need some input if my plant selection is doable. What plants I'm considering are these: Marsilea Hirsuta Anubias petite Cryptocoryne albida brown Bacopa Caroliniana Weepingmoss Any more plants I could try? /Daniel...

Yeah i found this listed in february but i guess he didnt sell it. I just have to justify to my wife that i need another tank =)

I dont know if this is the right forum. If not please move I found this while browsing on a "craigslist" like site. All you see in the pictures is included Its a 100x45x50 optiwhite tank Cabinet Filter Hardscape Im also waiting for more info. is it worth 280£?

Thanks for everything! Im planning on buying the new Chihiros Vivid RGB when it becomes available and then i think i will rescape my tank. Since this is my first attempt i feel like i want to move on to a new scape with like a corner island composition

Thanks! It grows like crazy to! I can't really tell, this is my first high-tech aquarium. Have to do an attempt without using it to tell a difference. I'm also looking into adding some plants if you guys could help me out with what plants to maybe add and where.

This is where I'm at now. Started dosing drysalts a few months ago.

Thanks!

Day 61

Day 37 A little summary from start: Week 1 No troubles Week 2 no troubles but turned my light down to 80% Week 3 Holiday in Cyprus, I let my dad Do the dosing, also turned my light to 70% in fear of algae Week 4 Came home from Cyprus only to find diatoms had overtaken plants, not completely...

Day 6 I’m starting to see growth on rotala and Monte Carlo is bending towards the substrate. Overall plants are looking healthy.

Almost, i had maybe 1-2l left of the powder. afterhand i thought i was dumb not using stones i had left on the bottom and then poor in the substrate to create height to my scape. Oh well

I thought i should start a journal of my aquascaping journey in the art of the planted tank. It has been a long wait for all equipment to arrive, but last friday i had everything to start. I did not put to much effort in the hardscape. My thoughts of learning to handle a planted tank comes...

I used muriatic acid on my stones. Muriatic acid and other acids that alter pH is something i work with daily ( water treatment plant ) Thanks for that input, i think i will stick to what i got now. Since this is my first aquascape i will get the hang of it in future scapes =) The two picture...

Thanks for everyone’s reply and criticism, I have moved the left stones more to the front and pushed them deeper, they are in fact two stones that is put together which I thought was better since all my stones was so hard to match with each other. I removed the front stone on the right side as...

This is my first time aquascaping and I would like to know what you think about my attempt. What would you change? With the plants I’m planning to use, how would you arrange them with my layout? Plants I plan to use: Micranthemum Monte Carlo Pogostemon helferi Hydrocotyle verticillata Rotala...

So i have most of my stuff. What is left is cleaning the rocks i muriatic acid bath. That will happen today. Then more hardscaping. Many of the rocks that i ordered didnt match in color so i had a hard time hardscape with them. After this bath it will be great

Got my cabinet today. Had to make some adjustments to it to make the bottle fit but it turned out great. Im ordering the aquarium and some other stuff in a couple of days

does anyone have any thoughts on this data?

http://docdro.id/sp1Blyg There you have. They sent me this

Just got my hands on a 6kg filled and remade fire extinguisher for 50£. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Got my filter today. 203€ including shipping from Germany to Sweden, that is a bargain.

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to Aquascaping and have been lurking this site and many others for a while now gathering information till my brain bleeds. I am 31, live in a small town in Sweden in a house with my wife and two kids, 6 and 4 years old. I stumbled upon Takashi Amano on before I...

Thank you for that answer! Well explained

I am about to set up a 60x40x40cm 96L tank and will use a Eheim Prof 4+ 2273. And I will buy lilypipes but i have some questions regarding the size of lilypipes While this filter has 16/22mm inlet/outlet tubing size. Would it be a problem to downsize the outlet to 12/16mm and use a smaller...

Does anyone have any experience with this light? http://www.micmol.com/aquaair.html

I will go the router route since i have one. But the cabinet has one month delivery time :(

Good advice! will try that first

Yeah I know water will run down these hoses but it’s kinda hard to find custom grommets to fill my holes. But I will take my time and make sure these will be waterproof I would call myself a handyman so I think I can manage but I always like to have my father around project’s I’m not 100%...

I was thinking about holes but I saw these long horizontal holes den where and thought it looked good and doesn’t make the hose stick out that much from the cabinet. I was thinking about making the holes 200x30mm with a handheld router

Thank you! That makes me feel better. My plan was to prime and paint grey

Hi, i just ordered this Aqualantis Fusion 60 cabinet with 40mm sides and top. You have to assembly it yourself so milling it beforehand is easy Is it safe to mill horizontal holes? like shown in picture below Then make them waterproof I was originally planning to make my own but well, house...
