Absolutely love this!

Mine..with equipment.

Fantastic! To be found on a ukaps Facebook page ferry shortly.

Thanks for the kind words! It would be good to see it without the glosso across the front. It's a winner though, with or without. Have you thought about entering it into the iaplc?

Really well done mark, really well done! Reminds me a little of Norbert Sabats 'ghosts' in its early stages.

I'd go as far to say that, that is incorrect (sorry Troi, no offence made by that)If you want a good read about low tech tanks, have a read of Diana walstads ecology of the planted aquarium. It's a heavy read at points, but a very good read. As Tom states, it's difficult to actually prove, but...

Diana Walstad in her book Ecology of the Planted Aquarium actually talks about the beneficial aspects of having anaerobic conditions under the substrate near the plant roots. She has around several inches of soil as the substrates in her tanks. The anaerobic bacteria will use most anything for...

This really is a myth, talking about anearobic build ups in substrates...yes there will be build ups, there is many theories out there that plant roots use these nasties. The main nasty that is in this build up is hydrogen sulfide, this is the most dangerous. However, In water, as soon as...

I think I need to edit the title of this thread...hahahahahaha!

^^^the legend finally reveals himself!

Thanks Viktor, they all turn out great don't they! As above we had 2 hours to scape these tank, with no planning either. We were just given hardscape and the pick of plants at tropica. That's it....I think there's some stunners there! The filter is the good old Juwel internal, with the...

It's all here if you can read German, they haven't done the English version yet. Tropica Aquarium Plants

A bit of self promotion (sorry guys), but I'm really impressed with the way this scape turned out. On a visit to Tropica in Denmark a few of us were set a challenge, this was to scape a tank in two hours. I was put with a German aquascaper called Adrie Baumann, and this is what the finished...

That is very red rotala! Well done!

From this To this

That's a neat little scape that Tim, very natural, well done! Nice colours on the puffers as well.

thank you guys!

well done mate!

Mmmm tips from mark, he didn't really teach me lol

very well done mate and well deserved...this should give you the kick to stay in the planted game!

thank you Stu, the tank is 80cm. the journal is here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=20422

lol right at the bottom, there's some Rummy's in there and thanks mate, Mark did help me on the technical aspects for this pic so i must give him a bit of credit. I took the pic though.

Really chuffed with my first IAPLC entry, ranked 518th place. Ian IAPLC 2 by Ian Holdich, on Flickr

Thanks Ady! I think thats a great idea Ady, if anyone want to add their collection.

thanks Rob, there are a couple that i thought were ace and now i look and think, wtf! lol

just having look through some of my old pics and put a few together. I have never posted in here so here goes lol! 190l Jungle 14l Iwagumi 20l Dutch 20l Iwagumi 190l Nature aquarium Wabi Kusa 190l NA aquarium Corner scape LFS scape angle by Ian Holdich, on Flickr...

looking good mate, you certainly have the 'knack' for growing plants.

looks super healthy Matt! Very nice.

anyone who can scape a corner tank is a winner in my book!

that third Gourami shot is great.

Looks really good Tom! That Balansae looks ace, the way it flowing.

Re: Aquascapes 2004 to present nice one George! great to see 'Skree' again, an awesome scape.

does everyone get a signed copy then or is it just top 100?

ooohhhhh ADA goodness! Love it Mark!

clever, but not my kind of thang. Is there any livestock in there? Was there ever any livestock in there? It remains artistic, but it's also very easy to grow plants without fish in a tank. Let the C02 role!

brilliant placement Mark. Well deserved mate!

not to sound rude towards IAPLC, but this scape should have been higher placed! For me this scape evolutionized (??even a word??), Iwagumi. This is probably why is wasn't placed higher, they're very precious about there Iwagumi. Brilliant scape George!

from this to this from this to this from this to this from this to this

Re: 120cm - George of the Jungle the perfect jungle scape executed. What more can i add to what others have said, the fish IMO are the exact right choice and compliment this scape brilliantly. ps, what is the name of the ferts sold by Aquarium plant food?

Re: Seven years of 'scaping - updated May '10 love the WCMM, remember seeing this on in PFK and it taking me back to my coldwater days. Love the living room tank aswell. Thanks for sharing George.
