This will be a real shame to break it up. I have really enjoyed this journal Ian, and look forward to the next one. Thank you Charlie

Looks fabulous George. Good luck in the comp. Charlie

The tank is lookng great Victor. The last shot of the mirrored bubble is superb.

She would need to be a good multi tasker. Waving a live hairdryer over a fish tank full of water and not paying attention could be nasty ......or was that the plan ;)

Not only is the tank Amano esq, you now have a team of hairdryer holders as well, just like the man himself ;)

Great to see the hairdryer in use.

Glad to hear it is not being totally broken down. Evolution is the way forward, just how nature intended !

NO ! how can you even think about breaking this down yet !

Great stuff Ian. It is looking REALLY nice now.

Love the insitu shots. Just what aquascaping is really about. . . . Buckets with bits of kit in and cables wrapping around everything. I can't quite see the wet pubble on the floor, but it must be there somewhere :) The tank looks great, hope it does well. Charlie

Ady, i think the 'gas injection system' is an ADA Vuppa, surface skimmer. Im sure Victor will clear it up.

Love it Victor, well done.

Love the fts. Not sure how you bullied the neons into ranks of 3 but it worked. I personally love the background, its like looking up on a summers day. Good luck in the IAPLC. Charle

Ian, i know you are using an eheim 2073 with this and previous set ups. Can i ask how you find this filter in terms of reliability, noise, maintenance etc. I have always used eheim classic canisters and am considering replacing one with a 2073 and would appreciate some feedback from someone who...

Think Ian said he was going to use Christmas and weeping moss ?

Ha ha didn't see the otto that appears at about 22 secs till it moved at 38 secs. Nearly jumped out of my skin :)

Love the shrimp pic.

Good choice on the cherries. I found they bred quite easily in the tank so you may get some more soon !

Ha ha, love the idea that amano re plants just for the photo. That is probably how he escapes from algae issues aswell :) I used to think skate board tricks were never landed, just looked insane in the photos in mags until i started skating and met up with guys who could pull and land kick flips...

Thanks for that George, obviously not stopping the plants from growing :) . You do have plenty light to get away with losing a bit aswell ;). The rotala with look lush if you can acheive a similar effect to the photo. Looking forward to the results.

Years ago we all used to have corrugated plastic drip trays over the top of our tanks that degraded over time. You have said that you are using a glass top for your tank George, do you find this has any effect on your lighing for the tank ? I would imagine not, provided it is kempt clear of dust...

Great series of last photos. Looking forward to what you might have in store . . .

Keep the pics coming. You have this tank at home every day to get bored of. Some of us have to switch the internet on to get a fix like this. Don't listen to George, what does he know ;). I would let the hc grow for a bit longer and see what happens. Rome wasn't built in a day :)

The new Inlet looks great, it really compliments the clean lines of the set up. It must be nice to finally get rid of the green eheim tubing :)

I think Alastair is refering to his other journal , chocolate puddle. I've just checked for updates but none yet. Charlie

Just stumbled across your journal. The tank looks amazing. I love the fact you just used sand. My lfs used sand in all his planted tanks and they grew amazingly well. Just shpws you don't need to spend a small fortune on fancy substrate systems if you get everything else right. Looking forward...

Keith, Go to forum, click journal to enter journal forum. The journal you are looking for is eight down , a new adventure by ian holditch. Excellent journal Charlie

I am loving the moss reflection in the first photo. Reminds me of a lakeland photo with an island reflected into the dead calm lake surface.

Wow, great tank in situ. The photo looks amazing.

Looking forward to seeing this develop ...... Again. Good luck.

Great journal Stu. I love the last photos. Starting with such a high biomass has really helped the tank look grown in, in such a short space of time. I keep coming back to this journal to view the images. Put some more on soon !

Just a thought but could the opaque egg shells be ones that the shrimplets have hatched from, especially as you have new babies in there ?

Great journal George. I love your attention to detail, your willingness to share ideas, successes and failures ( obviously that does not happen that often). Keep up the good work. Charlie
