Hi guys and gals. Remember me?
I kinda lost interest in aquascaping and aquariums in general. Not just aquariums. Virtually everything. Maybe a little bit of depression or feeling down.
I ditched the aquatics business side of things in 2018 and had been fighting a complete lack of interest...
And so it begins continues. Shattered Tree MkII is a reworking of the original shattered tree.
However I am completely changing the "tools" used and trying to make it look more like your normal aquascape, albeit with the usual intention of it being a long term scape. Of course I can't promise...
So I decided to rescape the 140ltr Opti-white. I am going to DSM it for a month with full lights and then it will run low tech with the middle row of lights turned off and no CO2.
Decided on a "Triangular" scape being an "island" in one corner leading down to a "grassland."
With that in mind...
First of all I would just like to say that I decided to ditch my website a few months ago and unfortunately that is why all my pictures in my past threads are not showing anymore. However I shall be uploading them the forum way from now on to avoid that happening again.
On with the journal. I...
Long time since I've done a larger sized scape. In fact this Optiwhite has been waiting in my lounge since I bought it in April last year :) I am getting ready to finally scape it though, probably early next year when I have finalised my planting decisions.
I have got my hardscape sort of...
Just a few backdated entries to introduce this scape:
19th April 2013
Technical Specs:
30 litre Opti-white aquarium (L 40cm, H 30cm, D 30cm)
Eheim 2211 external cannister filter
Beamworks 9 x 1W Luminaire (8 hours per day)
Fertilisation 0.5ml Lush Max daily
Plants: Fissidens Fontanus...
Long time since I last started a journal on my main tank :) The last one was 'Once upon a time at the riverbank' which started on 2nd March 2009 and ran until April this year. I thought I would start this journal early so you can laugh at how much I change my plan before I set it up.
I had...
?????? is my first aquascape of 2011. I will be doing another new scape on my 125ltr in a month or so but here goes with this one.
This will be the cheapest setup you have ever seen. From no tank to fully scaped for a grand total of £0.40p!!!!
This is a TMC Aquagrow Micro Habitat 8. It is...
21st November 2009
After neglecting this tank for a second time with the aquascape Triangle of Life I decided to rescape again. I have found that this small 10 litre tank is quite unlike the larger 125 litre in that if it does get neglected the scape can be beyond repair very quickly whereas...
After the premature end of Nursery Island I quickly rescaped with a simple design I thought about during the whole day ;) whilst doing other things of course. As soon as the kids were in bed work commenced on pulling all the plants, hardscape and substrate from Nursery Island and then cleaning...
This is the start of the journal following me taking down 'Celestial Rapture'.
A quick recap of the Tech Specs:
125Ltr 80cm Fluval tank
Tetratec EX700 external Filter
Hydor ETH200 inline filter
Koralia1 circulation pump
Pressurised CO2 through glass diffuser
37W 5500K LED lighting 9 hours a...
This little project of mine has been brought about by my black Corys producing fry and therefore I need a nursery to put them into and hopefully be able to pass the month old fish (if I can get them to survive) onto my LFS.
The first batch (I only spotted 3 eggs) has rendered 1 survivor who is...
I thought I would start this journal earlier than normal to include my research period and maybe 'bounce' a few ideas off people before I get to the moment of truth.
The current scape (under the forest canopy) will be in residence for a couple of months until I am ready to rescape so as a...
