That nano is crying for a cover :) Looks fab man!

Thank you for your kind words. :) On the front we used Weeping moss on the Lava stones glued. Spiky went to the bottom of the large wood pieces to give a skirt effect also with superglue. There are several riccardia patches which also Superglue tied. And on the middle path Fissidens Fontanus...

Yup using that for years now no prob at all :)

Today finally photographed the tank to the contest. But before the photo shooting i made a few changes. :) Since i am running the 6x54W over this tank more than 2 weeks ago plants grown a lot. So had to do a trimming here and there. Fixed the red bushy Rotala sp on the back. This is how the...

Thank you for all of your comments. But i am not that brilliant, otherwise i would keep in silent and wait for my award at IAPLC :) :D Since i know i missed the hit this year again i am free to show this piece and hope this is inspirational or something we can learn about it. For example this...

I remember in the past we've seen so many nice CAU examples and other asian ones how they refined their layout to the contests. Preparing tanks to the contest is not just about trimming and timing. Til you have time you can do almost any change to have a better appearance on your layout...

Thanks guys for the feedback. The thing i loved about this event that each individual leader was skilled and talented, but we tried to stay away to pick the best ones from the community. Mean the ones who usually are on the top of the contests in the past years. However the teamwork helped to...

Cheers guys, i am sorry i was a bit inactive in the past months. Things are busy around me and i do have less time to be everywhere. But i thought i share one of the thing we organized in the past months. We do love contests and we love community events. Last year the Thai scaping event...

It's like a big gun from Gears of War :) Impressive size!

Nope only from an earlier phase. I shoot this to be one of our Christmas Card :) As i loved so much the shape and form of the emerged P. Erectus. Like a pine tree Green Aqua Showroom | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Pogostemon erectus :)

Cool topic! :) We've been in many clans before :) But i share some nice moments if you do not mind. The tanks are not only from me but from my partner and collegue also as we form a team so we help each other in many ways. :) ADA Clan with some TMC light :) IAPLC 2012 entries Rank #155 by...

Great looking stones there, but i may would turn them to point upwards. :)

There's a nice gallery on facebook also, in a nice resolution. http://www.facebook.com/greenaqua#!/med ... 018&type=1 Congratulations to all entrants and the ones who selected to the top 200. :thumbup: I see there Aquadream's tank too. Well done mate just like the other UKAPS members. Mark...

Great tank lovely angles and details. Good to have it on record ;)

Come on guys! UKAPS core switched Tropica to the next level this year. Honestly Tropica was the biggest stuff for me at Interzoo and i am amazed how much work you've all done with the catalog, videos, tanks etc. So throw as much tank to the contest you can :) Don't be dissapointing the World...

Cheers Mark just seen the tropica tanks a interzoo today. Superb work mate! ;) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Pagoda stone is a layered stone with more white color in it and a bit of an orange. Thist stone which is on the link frequently called as Manten stone in the aquascaping world. It's grey and looks more like boulder with fine textures on it. Has lighter color than Seiryu but heavy and larger...

I would check with the forum sponsors as they probably also get their stones from this place. They may can get you with their next shipment.

Do not think this stone is available in the EU. This is an asian one. But you can get similars like basalt etc or with collecting locally something similar.

Amazing and very challenging project. Well done guys. :) I loved the swimming pic. :)

Cheers George, :wave: The stones are great. Refreshing to see this after many seiryu tanks. This is a light pagoda tank from our forum member: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62896412@N03/ Leopard is also nice. We used that on this nano on the left: http://www.flickr.com/photos/viktorlant ...

Yup they are very good. I love the dark color of it, the texture which makes it different from Red Moor for example. Most of them are heavier, but especially in nano sizes you can find some which might float for a few weeks. Mine shrinked all the time so i do not have negative feedback on this...

Nice video mate. Love the fact that they hire a professional to demonstrate the installation. Kudos for Hagen and for you George.

How about this as an inspiration?

Amazing shots Tom, thanks for sharing these. I enjoyed scanning through them. Maybe it's me only but the Hawaiian shots gave me more inspiration then the rest. :) I hope i can join you sometimes for a tour. Would be amazing. On your scape i would not categorize it. Why it need to be...

Well you may know that Mr. Amano has a specific time when he send out his team to the nature. Shoothing photos etc. So if this is scaping i really would include the nature side a bit more. How a stone looks like embedded in a hill with supportive plants. Why that looks natural as multiple...

Tom, i think you're on the wrong way. For me Art / Eye / Balance is not about contest ranking. Contest is a great way to empower the community to produce better and do more various layout, but we've seen that many times the result may not be right. So i would not mix the contest result with a...

I think that's the beauty and the bad side of the hobby too. The hobby involve many kind of people. We can agreed on that they mainly get involved by the beauty scapes. But then scientist interested about different part just like DIY kind of people who enjoy much more the self building process...

Very nice tanks. Remind me how i love this hobby ;) On the other hand i do not see them different then i see on some large contest like IAPLC. Malaysian, CAU etc tanks has their style which is represented on many contest and represent this hobby. Some maybe bored about it, i do love them. No...

Cheers George, will you enter this year? We plan to throw in a few scapes, and i hope i can get some followers from Hungary too.

very little coloration which goes away very quickly. heavier, thicker pieces sank immediatelly. thin pieces may will float, but this is a heavy wood and sank much easier then any other like red moor, borneo etc.

Well, i have to say maintain this much of tank is really not a dream. :D Imagine the water changes, maintain plant growth, cleaning tubes and glasses weekly, maintain filters, trimming etc, daily ferts, feeding.... I just trimmed our 240P HC iwagumi tank today and just this simple task taken...

Ideal would be to have the ADA CO2 tower next to the stand. http://www.adana.co.jp/en/products/na_c ... co2system/ This nano set is not for this tank really. Then the CO2 tower would match with the Super Jet filter in look and style..... But the cost.... only the CO2 tower would cost a...

ADA switched the production on their tanks a year ago or so. With the change the tank parameters changed too, but they found a solution with the new provider, where the glass is now more transparent on the edges. Kind of light grey or so. Whoever is still unhappy with this, the Cube Garden...

One of our member was there in the gallery on the weekend. The photo quality may not that good, but for a daily ADA dose it will do the work ;) http://indafoto.hu/talachi/ada_na_gallery/page/1

Cheers guys, a new vid from the ADA gallery. Captured last month so this is fresh and amazing quality. You also can see these tanks fully matured. Or get inspired by others. :wink: :thumbup:

Dragon breaks easily. If you drop it from your hand it's enough to break into pieces.

one of our member posted this on akvakertesz.hu Ivan Shishkin painting. It's nice to see how similar the first place to a landscape like this.

;)

how different could be with real photos>

Well these are very bad qual photos not really help to make decisions, but give a good preview on the best ones. I will wait for the real shots as i am sure those are amazing just like in the past. Blurry shot from a presentation, from a bad angle, really not gives back the real quality of...

i think this is more of a japanese fern. in Japan they use many ferns above the surface levels. but i am not familiar with that which species is this.

well we can actualize this post if this is popped up. :D this is how the tank looked like last october: http://www.naacademy.pl/Galerie/JAPAN-2 ... ?photo=122 in january: http://www.adana.co.kr/sub51.asp Altums got old and they not felt good in the strong current. Mr. Amano replaced them to...

The pictures are the work of Aquazoom, a Japanese company specialized for these type of layouts and its maintenance. Like this: however their site looks really bad, but work is really top one! http://www.aquazoom.jp/ Tha father of all aquascaper:thumbup...

just my 2 cent on this. the 2 stones looks identical, but they coming from different sources. i found that ADA deliver some larger nicer stones too meanwhile minis are mainly minis really where useually weights are 1-3kg. more on the lowest part. there are other stones where the difference are...

Mark for guys like you it's not easy anyway ;) Whatever i see from your works even if it is a photo or an aquascaping thing, i feels the maximalist guy behind there. The need of a perfection. As a result this always give a beautiful work to us, but it could be painful in the creative period as...

Congrat to the site :thumbup: it is possible to add RSS feed? would add in immediately to my feed reader. :D

yup really good interview. thanks for sharing :wink:

Oh wow still checking the results but looks like George you dominate in the biotope category :clap: Nice work man :wink:

Thanks George, Congratulations to all entries from UK. :) i've met with many of your tanks there. this year the competition was much stronger and had more great tanks in each category which is really good. :thumbup: for UKAPS entrants :D

lovely video George. The tank is super clean. And these stones are amazing. loved this on the PFK cover too. :D

Mark, the ADA photos are great just checked them. the internet conection is super slow. for those who like to keep these photos in local there are tools like webzip which download them all. only for yourself please.

every year ADA organize an event (seminar) for their distributors. we missed this year, but this is one of the most interesting event that i have seen in planted aquarium stuffs. the images you pasted in is one of the earlier event. the seminars are usually a few days long and happens right...

Re: A different Iwagumi! beuty shot and scape George. i still did not get my PFK but i've seen this as the cover photo in the new issue. i can tell you this is one of the best cover on PFK this year :D the photo is really awesome and i love these rocks. congrat mate!

one more to no UG :D too hard. easily to lost all the plants in few days or 1-2 weeks if you do not have everything which is required for this plant. additionally to HC, Glosso is an option too, or another plant which is not too common in tanks Marsilea hirsuta. but from most of the carpet...

Mark, thanks for the link. This is cool. :D For a longer list see this collection: http://acuariorosa.wordpress.com/2009/1 ... test-2009/ But Mark's link has a little higher res images cheers

gianlucan1 thanks for sharing the pics. Amazing how famous you are :D Just in one week nearly all major blog and forum picked up your videos and pics. But you deserve it. Great shots and the video is really awesome. I am a little jellous you seen all of this in person there ;) :thumbup...

There are in the nanos but not on the large ones except one where the scape is a little bushy. they do have water movement maybe not that hard, those lilys are way under the water surface. could be for many reason. to not loose too much water. not loose co2. evening time they lift up their...
