I suppose what I am saying is that those who have success without Co2 injection probably have good levels of Co2 getting to the hair grass.

Unfortunately it is too easy to say some are successful with dhg without Co2. You always have it, flow will effect how much you have, how hard your water is will affect levels etc. Over simplified but you get the idea.

Love it, is it still going?

Love that tank!

Looks really good! I think outlet and inlet at opposite ends would help the river theme and water motion. Otherwise I think you will get circular flow at on end and no flow at the other.

When removing lid have only had good success with Hygrophila sp so far. But I do spray them everyday.

I was going to say the same, I had mould on my wood :rolleyes: then I took off the cover and the mould went away. :lol:

Very nice! Simple but nice :)

Where is the mould? I love this, especially the H lancea.

The problem is that they are sold as aquatic, but they are mainly land creatures needing water to moult

Lovely tank, I can see two eyes in that cave.

I like the second one, it is inline with the rule of thirds as the weight of the hardscape seems to have the bulk of it in the left 3rd.

Hello mate, Thanks for your comments, I live in England so mosquito's are not a problem this time of the year. They are not usually a problem for me here all year around. The Fittonia came in the post with lots of other plants and was at the post office over night so It did dry out a bit.

I have two near me, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket and both have Tropica plants. The tanks in both are cleaner than most aquatic shops in the area too. That said aquarium gardens is only an hour from me.

With regards to should you trim, I would say keep it if you like the look, if not trim it a bit.

Possibly, Fittonia is working all right for me in a waterfall, but that probably mimics hydroponics and most things will grow in that. I suppose time will tell how the Fittonia does in stagnant water.

And another update, I am terrible at pics. I need some black sheets to stop the reflections :) There are loads more plants in there now. I have some Hygrophila Lancea in the submerged/emerged shelf so will see how that goes. And there is more Limnophila and Rotala in there now. I am currently...

Hello, Here is my new Wabi, it is currently inside an aquarium with cling film covering the top. Hygrophila Lancea Fittonia Red Eleocharis Acicularis Redmore Branches Lava Rock Tropica substrate with glass bead soil cap

I love this :)

Thanks Gill, I silicone the rocks onto a frame of pvc fiberboard and filled the gaps with silicone and used lava rock dust and black gravel pushed into the silicone to make it look like one piece.

Yeah I just leave it open, as an ex reefer I am uses to that. Just needs topping up a bit more often, for that I use RO. For water changes I use RO/tap mix.

I got the tanks from aquariums for life. I am getting there, few more plants added.

Well, here it is half finished. 500 x 500 x 750 Black lava rocK No Fish yet Waterfall Plan is to have some emersed plants on lower ledge (in aqua soil.) I will also have some terrestrial plants moss in the upper structure and will probably add pieces of wood at some point.

I love this thread, really cool to see how all the help here has helped transform this tank!

I have to avoid too much of them also, the wife would kill me if I had poisonous frogs in the house. Of course I could have them if I wanted as I definitely wear the trousers in my house.... and I know this because my wife told me so.

Thank you very much dw1305 for the effort you put into your reply with excellent links. The Bayhops you linked is a great idea, I have now modified my plan, both these pals will be freshwater and I am going to self build another long and not very high tank for the lagoon/beach as I think it will...

Thanks Matt, I suspected my questions bout the land area are out of the remit of this forum, but your reply helps a lot for my underwater selections.

Hello, I have been lurking here a while and admiring all the tremendous posts. I have ordered two Paludariums type aquariums from aquariums4life as pictured. I am an experienced reef hobbyist from a few years ago and one tank will be rather ambitious it will be a mini lagoon reef with land for...
