It is indeed. I came second in the competition but it all came down to facebook likes over the quality of the scape (my scape was rubbish compared to the standards on here!) However the two runners up still got £20 worth of aps vouchers on top of the tank that id won getting to the final stages.

apologies, found the correct dimensions L/550xW/110xH/230mm but yes, i agree its too small for fish! hence why im thinking of a shrimp setup

I have a 10l neglected tank sat on a shelf. it was loosely planted with 5 pearl danio's. most of the plants are long gone and there is only one fish left (god knows where they went to!!!) the dimensions are roughly 30cm long 5 cm wide and around 15-20cm tall any ideas on what to do with it...

superb. well done!

Cheers conger, some superb wood there!

Placing order with Tom Barr for Manzanita wood | UK Aquatic Plant Society Sorry for the delay. the post is up!

Its pretty recent but he hasnt been updating that thread.

No worries, by the sounds of it ill be asking to get a few boxes sent out anyway!

I am off over the weekend so I will start a new topic with a list of names interested with rough estimate costs including delivery to your door. I will leave it up for a week before physically placing the order so other members have the opportunity to get in.

well the most that UK postage should cost is £15 that can cover upto 30kg 1.5mx1.5m and that is on a 48hr delivery insured and tracked. but that is just what I know with parcelforce. I would imagine I could get it a lot cheaper for smaller pieces. cheaper still if I shop around.

Ben if you want large pieces, if you could click on the link at the top of page 2 and pick a picture of the type of style you would like and then P.M me I will pass it on. If your just after small pieces I shall add you to the list With Ali and Pink. cheers, craig.

No problem. R.E the nano pieces I will get Tom to fill whatever gaps he can with some smaller and nano pieces, and the members that posted will get first dibs when it arrives e.g Ali and Pink...

Excellent, to make it a bit easier if you click on the link at the top of this page to the barr report and have a look on there for which style you would like e.g "4th picture down" and I can pass the message on to Tom or if you could post a link or pm me one to a style you like I can pass it...

Well it will be packed so there should be some good nano pieces in there that i will put up on here when it arrives. however congers shipment will be due first so I would imagine he will put his spare pieces up too

Right, just had a chat with Tom Barr and i am arranging a delivery. it works out at around £158 a box including shipping. im after three large pieces so should have some space for some more if anyone wants to go halves? failing that if anyone else wants to place a seperate order let me know and...

Tom barr has a page with all his wood on. Id assume you select the pieces you want and split postage import charges with other members.

Have you been given a rough timeframe?

Cheers everyone. I will try and get hold of Tom Barr this evening to sort out some rough figures and time-frames. Meanwhile I will be placing a small order with a UK based supplier that I have found to 'test the water'

Evening gents, if this many people are interested would it be worthwhile me putting in an order with tom barr? I only need two select pieces but if enough people were interested i would place an order. by the sounds of it for a large box it would be around £150ish. Failing that I have a UK...

This may of been done before but I am in the process of 'negotiating' a price with a supplier for manzaniti wood. However, the prices vary so much across the uk. How much should I be looking to pay for it? it will all be dried and I can get two types with bark on (some of these have...

will do!:)

cheers chaps! might be worth a shot!

MODERATORS if links are not allowed please remove it. I have seen this wood on ebay and would like to know your opinions if it would be ok? I am going to ask the seller if it has been treated in any way. i think it would look superb in my discus tank. 10-Pack 22" Manzanita Centerpiece...

Cheers! I'd never actually thought of using another substrate. Maybe a path through the middle? But with using sand how would i keep it seperate?

howdy all! after getting my tank in november and being a novice at the planted tank i went out and bought lots of plants and threw them in. shortly after i threw a lot of discus in there too! over the months i have got to learn about co2, scaping, and ferts so today i decided to rescape the...

what light do you have now? if your using co2 and dosing ferts the light should be more than enough.

Basically im thinking about rescaping. I have a 4ft discus tank thats a bit of a mess at the moment. I have in mind two underwater islands one with a large wood centerpiece and the other with a smaller piece. I wouod plant around them heavy and leave the black sand surrounding them. I was...

i must admit i like it! i have black substrate and a carpeting grass in my plant but this is swaying me towards changing!

Believe it or not, ive already got a full on hairgrass lawn, or im pretty sure its hairgrass? Its sent runners everywhere and spread like wildfire. The only problem is that I feed beefheart 5 times a day and it tends to get caught up in the plants. I shall look into the plants youve reccomended...

Does this.happen much? I feel myself looking at my planted diiscus tank and wanting to rip everything up. To be fair the scape that is there now is not much of a scape, as the plants were just thrown in to see whish faired better at higher temps. At the moment its staying as it is as my discus...

Makes perfect sense thanks! Im still not 100% with what I want to do, I might draw up some designs tomorrow evening. The carpet im not too fussed sbout ripping up as I know it will take again, the plants have more than quadrupled since being in.there!

As above, my tank has been running for around three months now, the plants that struggled have long gone and im planning on doing a major rescape as i know know the temperaments of the plants and the discus are constantly hiding in the growth at the back so i would like to mix things up a...

I can be k to go straight away! The tannins will take a few weeks to be fully removed from the wood but if you have carbon in your filter it should take care of it. Either way its not toxic to the fish :)

cheers! over the next few weeks months, i intend to be flooding this forum with pictures! just waiting on the last of the equipment arriving :D

Howdy! after pestering people on here for the last two months things are finally starting to take shape! i have my filter, lighting, wood, all sorted, waiting on another bag of sand and my co2 kit to be delivered. ive selected the plants i want but there on hold until the co2 kit is running. Im...
