thanks for sharing Roy

I don't know if its official yet, however I offered to make a short demo on wabikusa during the event and George has said yes! Approximate time is going to be 17:00-17:30

I wouldn't call my self an expert too, however I don't mind sharing all I know about wabikusa if anybody is interested :)

Hello guys, finally booked today my flight tickets - I'm coming! :D @George Farmer @Greenfinger2

Any wabikusa experts in the uk?

make me feel really sad and I had to wipe away few tears ..

It is, pm me for more Info.

Glad you like your new light. Good luck with it ;)

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Going for a record! Tom, imo it is difficult to achieve such layer with fissidens, as it grows in kinda bulbs .. but the wavy effect might be worth a try. Flame might look very interesting thought :thumbup:

And the XL category here the result of our teamwork, Ed thanks for your help I'm sure without your input this one would have never reached 8th ranking :thumbup:

here comes the nano category Worth to be mentioned the fact that most nano tanks have been brought by the participants prescaped from home and were set up within like 5 minutes Who's this one ugly tank :shh:

Here is full Foto review of this awesome weekend. Ed an me dropped our photos all on my macbook and they mixed up, so I tagged them all with ma name :lol: But as long as I mention this, Ed told he is fine with it :wave: Some shots during the Amano Workshop...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Ripple testing Cheers Mark you simply need another tank :wink:

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Ripple testing Wow, this blue is awesome, it looks like the moss pads surrounded by light, hows that achieved?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Ripple testing love the way for moss is growing are you now taking final shots and than already going to the next project?

Oliver is using terrestrial moss outside the tank, sprays it from time to time - thats it

Our team at work

out of the square :thumbup:

Cheers guys, we will take some better shots tomorrows ;) George, correct - this is Olivers work Luis, as always good for show

Hi chaps, Ed and me, just came back to hotel and here are the first impressions captured by Ed. Couldn't get them all, as some tanks already gone to bed (lights were off) Hope you enjoy :wave: Our nano team work Our XL team work other works

Ed will be there, he will support me in the XL category. It is a pity George, you can't make it, I was looking to meet you there :?

Can't tell about UK, I got it from Germany. After trimming leaf size is like HC, amazing plant

much smaller, requires less light to crawl, but is sometimes tricky

Thanks guys AQUASYS LED system, patents pending - can't show pics yet I had a couple of those nano cubes before and it was a nightmare to photograph them curved edges in front :evil: here is some fresh stuff

Cheers Mark, I think I will take this one to Hannover, but might change my opinion thought However, thank you very much - specially this one is looking that good due to your advice in Aarhus ;) Thanks Sanj, same here, not sure which one is my fav :lol:

The exact name is Bolbitis heteroclita "difformis This plant is very difficult, I had to cut off all the leafs as they turned black, but now I see some new growth, keep the fingers crossed Cheers Paulo :wave: Thanks mate I tried lots of new plants and techniques in this triptych, glad you...

thanks guys :) darren, here is the full plant list, I'm sorry if I missed that before N1. Taiwan Moss Bolbitis mini Anubias nana petite Cryptocoryne parva Elatine hydropiper Rotala pearl Ludwigia arcuata Hemianthus micranthemoides Myroiphylum mattogrossense Nr2. Hemianthus micranthemoides...

Neglected for some weeks, before trim After the trim, with new LED lightning and again on a good way

Re: The Art of the Planted Aquarium 2012 Hannover, who is go Hello boys and girls :wave: There are some cool updates to the Hannover event I would like to share with you. 1. Exclusive Invitation to Interzoo by Dennerle for the first winners in each category Exclusive Invitation to Interzoo...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 quite low lighting you welcome buddy, make use of them ;)

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 quite low lighting like how the tank is changing As always very crisp and clean ;)

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Water changing and trimming. I always enjoyed those "from the top" shots if the water level is lowered like in this image - this makes the tank look more shallow and bigger than it actually is. Maybe you could make one during the next WC? ;)

Thanks schruz :thumbup: It's water change time :)

120 x 55 x 55 @ 1 week old. Hahaha guys, you made my day! :-D

120 x 55 x 55 @ 1 week old. Keep in mind, bigger tetra will hunt the shrimplets ..

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 @ 1 week old. black phantoms?

Thanks everybody You won't believe but I managed to squeeze everything except 2 cups. Squeeze in - is exactly what I did :lol: Planting densely like Amano... Rotala green was just wrong for this setups and a cup of Elatine Hydropiper was too much. Here is a better frontal pic, shows all...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 @ 1 week old. Tony, Put them on the market place :lol: Mark, good job, tanks looks already matured, thought it is only 1 week old :clap:

Final stage planted just before filling with water, hope you like it :angel:

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Spot the CRS I´m not sure but for me it looks like a little Tiger Tooth .. Mark, can you give us a bigger shot on this please?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. It will produce air-runners as well which look kind of cool until the plant-lets get too big, but I´m sure you´ll manage it :thumbup:

Sneak preview of Part III

120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. Lovely fellows. And their color is weird, they look a little orange on the side..!

Thanks Paulo, try my best to catch up with other UKAPS folks :) Nr2 Hardscape was not final thought .. what do you think has changed?

Thanks Mark, finally finished planting it - still 2 tanks left :))

Thanks Sanj, here is a quick shot while I´m still planting nr1

Re: NA Style Baby... (Going to an end soon) Looking forward to see the final shot of this tank :)

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. The genius just do not care about such details ..

Re: NA Style Baby... (Going to an end soon) Have you already decided on how to go on with this tank after the event end of November?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. Whats wrong with the lightning? or is it just lifted on one side for the WC? Vesuvius is like any other Echinodorus species, leafs have to be removed completely, trimming will lead to black/yellow cutting edges so it is better to remove them from the bottom.

Re: Andyh's ADA 60P Cube Garden Yes, the new ADA Quality is somehow different from the previous ones, better .. TGM staff didn't agree with me, as I mentioned this during my last visit, but I think you know what I mean and finally the new Logo ;) Wish you a good start

Hi Viktor, already seen this beauty on your flickr account, doesn't took long to appear on forum ;) Asians are dominating IAPLC world ranking so their work is good source for inspiration, but after the Amano lecture in Denmark I believe nature observation and landscape photography is much...

Hi Folks, for today tank 1 is 70% finished, had only little time today due to my dads birthday party. However, the food was good and the drinks even better, but I have to get the tanks planted, so will go to bed now and set up the alarm clock for 8 am morning... Cheers Viktor, I have never...

Here is the final hardscape pic

Thanks Spyder, yes it might happen that not everything will fit - but better to have too much, rather than not enough plants, right? Here is a couple of shots, showing the tools I have used to tie Moos on the wood and to fix Anubias petite and Bolbitits mini. Sure it is a little waste of money...

Thanks Mike, I'm still planting wish I had a dozen of helpers like amano has to do all the moss work ..

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. looking good :thumbup: I think it will turn out nicely, as always :lol:

got the plants today - gonna start planting tomorrow as you can see, I´m going to use lots of invitro plants and yes, the whole lot is just for the 3 nano cubes

Cheers guys, was a really cool trip I won't forget shortly - probably never :) I must have been talking with the ADA guys and missed the "mirror shot" like it very much Here are couple of my shots

120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. Hi Mark, Love the new hardscape! It must be awesome in person and look bigger than on photos. Think about attaching pinatifada to the driftwood and giving it a hard trim ;-)

Here is one more shot with temporary hardscape

Ed, there are no final pics - as the final stage of this tank was "plants storage" After data storage issues I´m back to routine so we can continue :) Here you can see the pendant lightning, still with old bulbs and hardscape preview

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 update Looking good mate. Still with only 2x54w t5 ? who said we need high light to have success? :crazy:

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' plant list Hi Mark, the new tank is looking good and the Giesemann lightning is fantastic, I have one my self - so I know what I´m talking about ;) Wish you lots of fun planting the next days, looking forward for more pics. Juri PS: looks like UK guys fancy...

Re: Stu's ADA Mini M nano Full ADA setups always have a bit of magic :wink:

Thanks, can´t wait to plant it, but have to wait.. Last weekend I teared down my 400 liter tank. Somebody wanna buy? :lol: This is were I will put the cubes after this tank is gone

Hi, in this case I used some old Dennerle nano cubes, they have curved edges in the front, but i put them reverse side for better photograph. The seal is horrible and they are floatglass. If I would buy a tank today - it would be hight quality one and optiwhite ;)

Planting is postponed till end of July, As I'll have to go to cologne for 5 weeks and I don't want to leave 3 tanks on their own in the initial stage. Meantime I will show the technical aspects in detail ;-)

Re: New journal, coming soon! The tank I submitted to ASE2011 I dosed daily dosage of ADA ferts only once per week as I couldn´t maintain the tank more frequently - all plants are looking great and grow compact and dense. You wont get the turbo speed though :lol:

Trying to play video I get the message: This video contains content of UMg and is not available in your country :(

They are all not the same, of course you can use different - but keep in mind they might be noisy and difficult to clean. I´ll take mine into parts later and show some pictures so you can better understand what I´m talking about.

I have now decided which plants to use 1.Moss on wood, Lilaeopsis carpet, H.micrantemoides in the rear corners and C.Wendtii tropica in the middle background 2.Elatine Hydropiper as for carpet around the stones, some moss between the rocks and Acicularis in the middle background 3. like the...

There are plenty HOB filters and I've tested many of them, but this one is the only one that is quiet and you can really take into parts for cleaning.

I couldn't find them in UK as google shows me only local stuff, but I'm sure EU shipping is not a problem http://www.interaquaristik.de/aquaristi ... 304-1.html Another reason I use them, they are the most quiet I have ever had and you can take them into parts for cleaning :thumbup:

Cheers bud, PM send I rearranged the tanks as George pointed to a very important fact of higher illumination over the center tank. The Invitro tank will be full of stems and fast growing plants so it will take place in the middle. More pics tonight :wave:

Hi Ben, these are 20 Liter tanks with curved Edges in the back. New website will be soon online ;) Here a detail shot of the HOB Filter, I kind of love the clean look and the transparent housing gives a look inside so you can see the water movement and when its time to for maintenance :lol:

Cheers Tom :) Thanks Antoni, The only Plantlist ready yet, is the one of the right tank. It will be planted like Macieks Invitro-Scape (AOTM 12/2010) Cheers Mark, I´m very pleased to hear you like the presentation :angel: Thanks bud, Yes the Co2 will be splitted Cheers George, I've...

Thanks, AquaClear 20 with "Eheim Substrat Pro" and original piece of sponge on top

hi guys, want to share my new project. 3 nano cubes places in a row, using one single lightning and co2 supply for all of them. Used ADA Power Sand S as bottom layer and topped with Amazonia Cube 1 is using Borneo Wild wood Cube 2 is using Seriyu stones Cube 3 will be Invitro scape Hope...

Re: New journal, coming soon! Some nice Hardscapes - you could easily beat ADGs HArdscape only tanks :thumbup:

Re: NA Style Baby... looking good Edis, turned out really well :clap: C.Balansae might get too big for this tank. Mine got 60+cm big C.Costata is a nice one, this one produce lots of leafs and stays smaller http://www.flowgrow.de/download/file.ph ... G_1813.jpg...

Re: my vivarium show nano. rescaped. Here it is, thought I have to wait till Vivarium expo .. Like the new one :clap:

Re: "Prairie Lands"...choosing fish! this is must be the truth why you are using a pc and not a mac :lol: Cheers Juri

Hi Viktor, In love this nano, the simplicity is stunning and the plant health is superb!

Re: "Prairie Lands"...The return me too please :shh:

Re: "Prairie Lands"...The return nice preview Mark :thumbup: Keeping fingers crossed for you

Re: "Prairie Lands"...The return subscribed ;)

Re: [IWAGUMI] Project Scree How about "elatine hydropiper" looks like nano sized Glosso and the growth rate is much more comfortable?

Re: Saintly's 120cm' Fraggle rock' Time to move on. Hi Mark, even for IAPLC it is ok as long as the final shot is looking different from the ones the participant maybe posted before in a local community. To go sure you could only post angle shots or detail shots only. What happened?

Re: NeilW's 30cm nano - 'Mono' (updated 12/8) hi, I wonder if there is a big difference in the growth rate under the 11watt and 9 watt lamp. Looking good ;)

Re: Saintly's 120cm' Fraggle rock'i love purple Amazing photos Mark, I love them!

Thanks everybody, Totally without fish definitely not, but with some other for sure ;) Similar to Aquasoil Powder or Oliver Knott´s nature soil. I think same product is now available as Ebi Gold Waterplantsoil :shh: Works very well, no cloudiness at all and no ammonia. Yes, they are on...

Here is a Plantmap

Hi George, fish were put in only for photo and took out again right after that :angel: I know those cardinals doesn't look very good in this tank, but I had nothing suitable at the photo day and it was the last day to participate the contest.

Re: Robinson's Bay 20L Nano I apologize for bad links. hope now pictures are visible :wave:

Re: NeilW's 30cm nano - 'Mono' Some green between the main and the middle rocks might improve the look, maybe you just should let it go and watch how it will become wild :wink:
