That's lovely! Very lush, and really healthy looking. Great work!

Very nice Yoda :) Great photos too! How long was this scape growing for?

Or add some bits of catappa leaf. They'll feed on this quite happily :)

Re: 120cm - George of the Jungle Stunning George! How do you find the flow with all the large leafed plants?

Welcome Matt :) Great to see progression over a year.

Looks like Staurogyne to me. It stays around that height, but needs trimming.

Luscious growth! Great work :)

Lovely tanks! Some serious anubias going on in the second :) I visited San Francisco a few years ago. If I could choose anywhere to live in the US it would probably be there!

A truly awe inspiring scape. Having seen it in the flesh a couple of times - once near it's beginnings and once after it had started to mature - I can say it is honestly one of my all time favourite scapes. You see something different every time you look closely at it. Well done Graeme mate :)

Looks great Sam. I'm considering whether I'd get away with anything at work. Maybe! I see the little terrier hiding away under your desk! What was his name again? Very cute :) Is he less timid then when I met him at TGM last year?

I think I've seen something like that, but it's a cool idea :) I think maybe Oliver Knott, with his nano tanks might have done it?

Fantastic setup Pele! Welcome to the forum/society :) I love the little nano on the left! Mind, they're all fantastic looking scapes!

Finally planted my optiwhite nano today :) This is where it's sitting at home:

Just add water :D

Hey Lisa. I think they're chinese sailfin sharks - Myxocyprinus asiaticusb. TBRO, I really like the emergent, especially the one on the right. Would love some details (in another post?) Great looking photos and locations all!

Well post a pic and get us back on track Simon ;)

Would be interested in some info about upgrading them Stu? Might make it even more tempting!

I'm finding it hard to resist one of those tropica cubes from TGM now that they're on sale!

These are from various times over the last few years... Living room at my last flat: Bedroom at my last flat (various tanks from over the last few years):

Wow George, that looks really fresh! Great biotope, and great photos! Interested in what the fish are (haven't bought a PFK in a while :oops: )

Welcome to the forums! Great photos, captures a real sense of atmosphere :) Lovely looking tank too.

Very very nice :clap: I love it! More pics!!

Lovely looking tank Tunafish :) Oddly, it almost looks like a 30cm cube or something! Lovely discus too :)

That looks beautiful :) I was thinking the fish don't really have a lot of cover, but of course, they have plants above them!

Beautiful George! I love the stems, and how natural they look! Not too dense, not too sparse. Cracking job mate :clap:

It's great when you can take something away from a scape, whether it was 100% successful or not :)

That's a really good start, and great learning scape. When did you put this together James? What would you say were the main things you learnt from this scape?

I think everyone will agree that your plant keeping, photography taking and layout skills have increased immensly this year mate! That's not to say that this scape wasn't anything special, it was a really great scape :)

That's a fantastic landscape you're creating there! Very impressive :) Really want to see it mature, as it will look so lush and full of colour :)

Beautiful tank LL :) Love the textures and colours!

Really nice tank llj :) I love the vallis nana, and how it has just the right amount of entanglment to look perfectly natural, but not so much that it makes me want to get the planting forcepts out to give it a combing :lol:

I really like this scape Steven! Looks bigger than I think it is :)

Awesome George! You couldn't of asked for a better formation of fish! Have they been training with you at the RAF or something?! :lol: Particulalry liking the two shrimp hiding in the hardscape too :mrgreen:

Great tank James :) I'm interested in the light unit. Is it custom made?

Lovely tank Nico, and great photo too! Would love to read some specs, and see more photos. What fish are they? They look like WCMMs to me?

Lucky sod :lol: Looks great Dan! Are you going to keep it for this year's show, or rip it down and do another?

Hey Jeff, gorgeous tank. Truely stunning! Quick question about the mercury lamps. I'm hopefully getting a couple of 125w MV pendants, and I'll need to get some new bulbs for them I think. What bulbs are you using with yours? (and where do you get them?! :lol:) Again, absolutely jaw...

Cool :) Is it Flourish Excel or Easy carbo? Both do the same job but are made by different manufacturers :) I would imagine it's Seachem Flourish Excel, as I suspect it would be more readily available in LFS's. It's definately a good thing to use, providing a source of carbon for the plants...

Quite a difference Wordy! Any chance of some details? Do you dose any ferts? Looks like you might have a little bit of a defficiency but other than that looking nice :)

Ahh, so it's the aniversary of popping your aquascaping cherry right ? :lol:

I was gonna say, does that mean it was your birthday yesterday mate? If so, happy birthday mate! :) As Dan says, still a tank to be proud of!

Beautiful fish :) They look like they have that pearlescent (spelling?) green speckle, very similar to my Pentazona barbs. Similar orange too, just different black patterning obviously. I really want to try some if I can.

Looks great :) Man, you have Rhomb barbs! I've been wanting some of those for 6 months or so! Do you find them particularly friendly to others?

I like the tension created by that middle "boulder" which sorta hangs slightly, like it's on the edge of a cliff :lol:

Love the lillys. They look great :)

Looking good mate :) Top it up ! It'll look nicer if you top it up I think :)

I'm after Acicularis for one of my tanks. I usually buy it from garden centres. Normally you can get a 2" x 2" pot for around £3.50! There is enough to do a 4ft easily, if you seperate it out into plantlets (takes time and patience though!)

I considered posting something along those lines too, but I still think riccia is the spawn of the devil :lol:

Maybe try netting the riccia to some smooth rounded stones to make nice undulations? I like the first option with the path by the way :) I also think the larger rock on the right needs some work. It seems to mirror the one on the left.

I can't find a picture of Zig's 15th place entry... anyone point me in the right direction? Edit: Am I correct in saying it's the main scape on the UKAPS home page? Awesome scape :)

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase I'm sensing pages for the calendar being discussed in another thread... These would be awesome!

That is one monster fern :) Lovely tank once again Mr F :)

Lovely tank :) I like some of the other scapes that this tank has had on the other forum thread :)

Image not working for me :(

I clicked on your posted images which took me to the gallery page. I then right clicked the photo and selected "view image" which opened it in my browser so I could get the full image URL, then I posted using the [img ] tags :)

Click on them and you'll get a bigger pic :) Looks lovely and lush :)

Truely spectacular! I love it :)

To spur on new growth, and also to try to avoid algae. Mostly, its because we both bought this hair grass from a garden centre (see my rio 180 post) and its immersed growth, so it will probably die off a bit while it changes to submersed.

Don't forget to cut it right back :) Almost to substrate level so I'm told...

But its such a nice medium sized bit of wood :) I might ask to pinch a few rhizomes of that narrow fern back at some point, but not yet :) Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Looking good Gill. I especially like the wood in the PFK cube! Glad to see you on here :)
