Inspirational. Serene, warm fuzzy feeling (say's in fiercely virile voice):clap:

Have kept a few species of loaches on fine smooth gravel without issues. Would be hesitant to use the sliver's or irregular pieces of slate if they have sharp edges due to the loaches always scouring over décor in search of food's or trying to wedge themselves into tiny areas as the love to do...

Is hard on belly's/barbels of those fish that scour hard surfaces in search of food (ie) loaches,cory's,pleco's,oto's. Otherwise is excellent to attach plant's to and I have heard of folk's using it as biomedia in canister's after a fair amount of rinsing. Without a good rinsing, it can...

Would maybe keep echinodorus at least five inches away from glass in all direction's. This way as the plant grow's,,the leaves can spread out,good circulation around the leaves rather than being pressed against the glass as plant matures. Not much fun uprooting Echinodorus species which often...

Like your tank! Mind if I ask where did you find spray bar for the Rena?

For now,I would reduce lighting period to six hours each day and purchase dry fertilizer's Nitrogen,Phosphates, potassium, and trace minerals. Light + CO2+ all macro/micro nutrient's = much better growth. Too much light,without good CO2 distribution/flow, and nutrient availability = poor...

Laurie, I'm not a fan of lava rock for the reasons you noted. Fishes like plecos,loaches,cory's can scrape raw area's on their mouth's/bellies. Small juvenile bristlenose would not be able to damage plant's or aquascape as readily as adult Bristlenose. I have three adults in heavily planted tank...

Me thinks a branchy type piece of wood would look better and maybe not be such a in your eye affect.

I seem to alway's have some stones or wood sitting outdoor's on patio and when needed,,I grab a few up ,give em a rinse under hose,and plop em in my tank. Believe this is very good way to see how many critter's like snail's,shrimp's,oto's,pleco's one might actually have for they all seem to...

Norman's Lampeye ? Oop's seem's It was already mentioned:rolleyes:

Aquadream, I like your scape , but I must confess that unless I try very hard,,,,All that my eye's are drawn to ,,are the tall green pipe cleaner looking stem's protruding from the scape.

I like not having the glass tops over my tank and not having to clean them each week, but I began losing about one fish a week, Neon's,Emperor tetras, so the glass tops are back on. I noted something the other day while performing water change.All of the neon's had moved away from the end of the...

Plant's established,cool water,cat litter not too sharp edged,and cory's will do well. :thumbup:

I am alway's a bit dissapointed by the lack of fauna in such beautiful tanks as I have seen. Perhaps fishes don't appeal to those who create such stunning layout's to the degree that plant's do but I would love to see more life in the aquariums. Otherwise,,to me,, they all look too...
