new aquascape

Day 1 in my photo. I'll do updates every week or 2 when the change is noticeable. Anxious to know what you all think? 😋 As there is only me viewing this tank at home be great for others to see it too.. I think it's ace 😎 but that's because I made it. Not expecting any awards but i did my best...

Hi everyone, I'm setting up a 60cm tank (ADA 60P) for a display for an event and want to grow it in beforehand. Usually for filtration I'd add something like a Biomaster 350 or even 600 with some diffusion. However, I only have a Filtosmart 100 on hand and wondering if this will be enough. For...

Evening all, I am getting my new Fluval Shaker 345l tomorrow, the biggest tank I have run to date is 80l. I am wondering if there is any advice that you have or anything I should consider before/whilst setting it up? The tank comes with everything that is needed (filter, lights etc) and am...

I recently set up a bright aquascape 50 l nature scape - I don't have the best light - a cheap LED. Planted with dwarf hairgrass, rotala and a huge number of plants and mosses. I added 10 cherry shrimps and 15 pygmy rasbora. I run C02 at 1 bubble every 5 seconds. My shrimps are super happy but...

14/03/2021 Hi everyone, I have decided to start this journal in order to document the process of my new iwagumi aquascape. This journal will also tie into a school project that I’m doing called an EPQ. An EPQ is worth 50% of an A-Level and is essentially an essay or artefact on any topic you’d...

Hello everyone So here is my journal following my new aquascape setup. The tank is a superfish home 110 and holds 118 litres. The only extra equipment on the tank is co2 injection via a fe a in tank defuser and seachem matrix in the internal filter. I am dosing every day with a all in one...

Work in progress has its highs and lows but completely love how it’s turning out. Any more ideas on plants I should get and equipment 🙃

Ive had my 4 gallon planted tank set up for about a week now and the bloom has gone down a little but my plants, substrate, and hardscape are completely covered in bacterial colonies. Most forums say to wait it out and it will eventually balance out. I ended up adding some ceramic pieces to my...

So you've planted a bunch of in-virto plants and have flooded the tank. You got the co2 running, lights on and filter flowing. Now what? Currently with my tank, some of the plants are melting back (which is to be expected), the light is on the lowest setting running for 6 hours and co2 is on...

Hi guys So I want to re-scape my 120L which has been set up for 6 months now. It has a stock of 20 or so and is filtered by an Oase Biomaster Thermo 350. If I reuse the same filter and media (just un-plug and re-plug within a few hours) and if I reuse some of the gravel and substrate, plus I...

Hi everyone, First journal from a new member so please be nice! Ok so where to start... I have kept tropical fish for 5/6 years now, and my pride and joy at the moment is my Fluval Roma 125L that has been running for 3 years pretty successfully, but with the focus on the fish. I have...

Hi all, So I'm a lapsed aquarist, who has been on hiatus for the last few years. I previously had a low tech, no Co2 tank with crypts, swords, Val and Nymphea (https://imgur.com/a/BjofNle). That was very successful (maybe too successful - I'm looking at you Jungle Val!), but now I'm ready, and...

Right - after going down the high tech route and ending up not liking my scape/not getting the hand of Co2, I decided to go down the low tech route. Planned it for a good couple of months and went from this https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/first-attempt-at-aquascaping-took-long-enough.36995/...

Planted my first higher tech aquacape a few weeks ago. The plants are doing well so far and algae is for now at least minimal (may not stay this way but so far so good :). Back ground plants are ludwiga repens, tiger lilly and pogostemon stellatus. The growth is much quicker than in my older...
