    Paludarium 75x45x45

    Paludarium has now been running approx. 6 months. Tank is 75x45x45. Main fish are the gorgeous Pseudoepiplatys annulatus. There are no plants underwater. Water is pure RO. Sorry about glare and low photoquality.

    Glass inflow that is 35-40 long?

    Hi all, I am planning my new 75p, possibly as a paludarium. The tank is 45 cm high and my goal is to have the water surface go to about 15-18 cm. Out flow will be through a glass spray bar with the water output angled towards the glass. Problem is to find a glass inflow that is long enough to...

    Riparian rhapsody (paludarium)

    Hi all, Long time since I was active here. I have been working on this Riparian rhapsody since the summer. "Rhapsody" because it is composed of so many different plants and elements. It has not been until the last months or so that the back has completely greened up with mosses, ficus, and an...

    The office wabi

    My office wabi that has been left more or less to its own devices. All initial plans have been lost somewhere along the line, but I am a big fan of the UG lawn and the very nice flowers they produce. The Buce skeleton/achilles in the last photo is another favourite: amazing leaf structure. It is...

    The No-Fly Zone

    Hi all, After a tour in the world of dartfrogs - http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/dart-frog-vivarium.40566 - I am ready to do some scaping in the No-Fly Zone. It has been up for for two weeks now and is running quite smoothly. I am struggling to see any algae yet, which is something I have...

    Dart frog vivarium

    Hi all, For those interested in the world above water, here are a few shots of my dart frog vivarium housing 2.2. Ranitomeya amazonica "Arena blanca". The viv is 75x50x60. All roots are DIY done with a concrete product called MakeMake (can also be used under water). I hope you enjoy. I would be...

    Terrascaping (poison dart frog vivarium)

    Hi all, It has been a while since I was active here. After the summer I decided it was time for a different challenge. I kept poison dart frogs some years ago, and felt the urge to go there again. The vivarium is 70x40x50. It is built as an aquarium; that is, has no drain or false bottom and is...

    Japan through the eyes of an aquascaper

    Hi all, I visited Japan this summer as part of a conference. Fortunately, I managed to take out a couple of days for traveling. Some of that time I spent hunting ADA stuff in Tokyo. See the result here: http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/ada-prices-in-japan.30535/. On a more cultural note, I...

    Green Ravine

    New scape in preparation. Nothing concrete yet, but two bits of info to go on: No soil and lots of Tropica plants...I hope to have something up over the next couple of days. Thomas

    IAPLC rules

    Hi, What are the IAPLC rules regarding photos shown beforehand in other contexts? I recall hearing that you cannot enter a photo already published on, e.g., UKAPS. But looking through the rules and guidelines on their website I cannot seem to find any conclusive information on this. Some of...

    ADA prices in Japan?

    Do any of you have an idea how ADA is priced in Japan in comparison with Europe? I cannot seem to find any Japanese webshops to make a comparison. I am going to Japan next summer so would like to plan a little ahead investment wise if prices there should turn out to be significantly below...

    Natural Aquario sold?

    Some interesting new stuff happening in the industry. Check this out. ADG buys Natural Aquario? I wonder what it will mean for European customers? Thomas

    CO2, fertilizers, and shrimp

    I am reading and hearing quite contrasting views on using fertilizers and co2 with shrimp. Any theoretical and/or practical knowledge you can share? I imagine of course that sensitivity varies across shrimp species, but this would also be useful knowledge. Thomas

    New camera advice

    I am getting sick and tired of being unable to display my tank properly with my Nikon 40D. I have convinced my wife that I think we need to be able to take better Christmas photographs of the girls :) (although I think she sensed the hidden agenda). I am pretty set on a Canon, but it comes in...

    CO2 sensitivity in Otos and shrimp

    Hi all, Since introducing Otos and Amanos four weeks ago I have noticed that they seem to suffer some from the co2. The Otos in particular act somewhat dizzy, slow, and inactive when co2 is on (they look better when it is off). Now, one would think I am overgassing, but DC is only ever light...

    Cardinal shrimp/Sulawesi biotope

    Hi all, Sorry for the poor video quality, but although this is utterly plantless I thought this set-up might be of interest for some here on UKAPS. The tank is 75x30x20 optiwhite. Set-up is just a lot of selected beach stones scattered and only slightly scaped :) over the surface...

    Alpine Gardens

    Hi UKAPS, Scape has been running five weeks. Plants still need to fill in between stones. This is by far my most ambitious scape (out of the one or two I have done so far so doesn't say a lot :)) and I am really anxious to see if I can manage to run this and let it develop how I want...

    Lots of mist, but dark green drop checker

    Hi all, Still a newbie when it comes to gas. Just added a UP atomizer and it creates a thick mist in the tank as promised, BUT the drop checker took about four-five hours to just go from blue to dark green and now, after having had it on six-seven hours it is still dark green. I am running...

    Black stems

    Hi, After having pruned my R. rotundifolia a good number of times I have noticed the old stems going increasingly black. Is this common and how can it be dealt with? Nutrient issue? One option of course would be to uproot the old plants and plant the cut-offs, but then I would loose the nice...

    Biotope aquascaping

    Besides planted nature aquarium I have for a long time been interested in biotope aquaria. Recently I have been thinking that it might be a future idea for UKAPS to add a section on biotope aquascaping. I am aware that the focus of UKAPS is on the planted aquarium, and since many (true)...

    Filter material - or not?

    The common wisdom about filter material seems to be as much as possible and with as much surface as possible. Recently, however, I have come across a number of discussions where people suggest removing all or parts of the material in order to maximize filter and water flow in the tank. I am...

    Non-transparent tubes?

    As I am getting sick of looking at my dirty transparent tubes (and since I am too lazy to clean them every week or so), I was wondering if anyone knows of 12/16 tubes in, for example, grey. I am using ADA jet pipes so grey would look nice with these. I have searched high and low, but no success...

    Scape in progress (untitled)
