Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
This tank has lasted well past its sell by date (which is far from a bad thing), it's great! It has a great feel to it.
What plans have you got for the future for this tank?
and update your shrimp tank journal :P
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I love how this tank is looking now, has a nice feel to it. I think it could look better as an aquascape without the glosso foreground, though but you're the one who has to look at it. ;)
I have to admit, I preferred it before but if it wasn't working out then you gotta sort it ;) it's slowly growing on me though, at the end of the day this is just to keep and breed shrimp successfully so it don't matter what it looks like as long as it looks decent... which it does
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I would totally agree with this, but I do think the redmoor branch and the log going the length of the tank across the substrate works so well.
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I actually think the greyish background looks class.
I love how your scape is coming along now, looks proper good. It just has a good feel about it.
^ no co2 is used in this tank if i remember correctly, just easycarbo when paulo remembers ;)
such a shame about the deaths. at least now the CRS might have a better chance, eh
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I ALWAYS do that spur of the moment thing and rip tanks apart. It's quite depressing.
Go for a re-scape, aquasoil, new filters, the works. You know you want to ;)
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
Cool, I think the 'shape' of the scape is the best it has been so far. I like how it's close to the glass far right, goes in where the wood is and then the plants get gradually lower and slightly closer to the front again as it comes to the left. Nice one!
More females with eggs?! You really are trying to take over the world with a Cherry Shrimp Army, right? :lol:
Any full tank shots after the prune? :wink:
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
Aw that's such a shame. What fish do you have left now?
I'm sure in a couple of weeks time all of the plants will have grown masses and you're tank will be looking as good as ever.
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I didn't mean it in a bad way. :D I just think it's great how much your tank has improved. I'm sure you'll have the right looking as good as the left in a few weeks.
That's weird about the deaths...
I think this tank is looking much more pleasing now that the rocks are less noticable. I'll most likely be looking for some cherries when my 35ltr is ready in a month or so - I'll know where to come ;)
Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
This tank is another that I didn't really like when it first started but I love it now! Everything seems to come together even though it shouldn't if that makes sense. :D
My only suggestion would be that the right side isn't looking as luch as the left.
wow, they're the sexiest bunch of shrimp i've ever seen.
with regards to the tank, i think it looks good that you just threw everything in, kind of like a jungle feel, especially with all of the mosses.
If I'm honest, I don't really like that rock either, or the other one to the right. I just don't think they look quite right but it's still a great tank though, especially since adding the twigs!
