Looks good to me, I can't help feeling all the Aquasoil will end on one level like mine has though.

Hi Michael, I was just wondering if it might be worth putting the existing substrate (Eco Complete) that you intend to reuse into mesh bags to avoid it making an appearance later on, we all like moving plants around especially at start-up. I've got lumps of white/grey pumice from the Power Sand...

Yes, two large and one medium size pieces of Corbo Root in here along with a Lava Rock garden wall dividing the tank from end to end about a third of the way back.

Hi, You can do whatever you want to achieve your goal, the only thing I would recommend is, if you do pull half of your plants up is to do a couple of hefty water changes for a day or two thereafter. Cheers!

This is a 230l.

Afraid I can't help feeling sorry for the fish in Iwagumi Aquariums, must be like being in the California sun all day with your shirt off. Is it a cardinal sin to add a few floating plants? Tank on the whole looks nice though!

Be careful to do plenty of water changes for a couple of weeks and keep that light toned down for a while, it looks quite bright. If you're intending to grow only epiphytes and crypts you may well be a contender for a dark start taking all the hard work of the initial water changes out of the...

If it says on the bag 'unsuitable for fish and other aquatic animals', for the sake of a few extra quid, I would advise against it.

I'm certainly not a scaper and most especially not with Iwagumi's, but welcome to UKAPS!

Hi, Looks like you are getting ready to fill with water, if so I would start soaking that Corbo Root now, takes forever and a day to become saturated. Cheers!

I would imagine most types of untreated wood will rot away underwater eventually, plecos will assist in this process. Not sure if they actually eat it (never had one) or if they are just having a quick gnaw between meals. The Corbo wood in my larger tank is holding out quite well after 2 years...

Photos?

Couple of photographs??

Makes me wonder why you would want to rescape such a lovely looking aquarium but to answer your question: My personal view would be that if you did it in a relatively short space of time I.E. a day or possibly two, then it would not need cycling again. If it was going to be longer than about 12...

The best yet for me. What are the dimensions of your aquarium? Cheers!

Hi, One thing I have noticed with your current set up is that you have a circulation pump directed from left to right which will invariably be interfering with the flow from your spray bar. I think it would be far better to have it mounted on the back to one side of the spray bar, pointing...
