Thank you.

Hey dude! This looks awesome man!
Brill capture quality as always

Thanks man. I'm gaining inspiration from you dude.

Gravity mate!

will it correct itself if i turn the tank upside down?

Once the flower is fully open, i'll take an image with flash. In the mean time, this sets it off nicely.

Pure inspiration!

Thanks Ian and Antoni.

Just recently, I've been feeling rather crap. Health is average, so the tank doesn't get what it deserves! That said, it's a breeze to look after.

Here's a comparison shot after about 3 months.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Awesome Mark. Can't believe the growth just off two t5s. God knows you'll have a jungle I'm your living room when the halides come in ha ha. Sorry to hear your not too great either

Yep! just 2 x 54wt5's for 5 hours. I daren't go anymore.

To be honest, as some may suspect, i'm bored of the layout. I'm a iwagumi fan, and i'm so looking forward to doing a stone layout in such a big tank.

Sorry to hear your not too great either

Thanks man. I'm fed up with feeling ill. specialist appointments etc...a pain! 2.5 stone weight loss, without trying is nice though

got your first 2 stone to to put in the iwagami then
The tank is looking amazing.
How have you trained the crispus red to behave so well and reach across the middle??
Another amazing scape Mark.

Cheers joe

The flow from the left, keeps the crispus uniform, but on the right hand side, it's not so tidy. :?

Here's an in situ shot...

Bring on the Gumi i say

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Full tank shots and stuff.

wow mate that has grown immensely! That side has got really dense in the few weeks i saw it.

still looks good though.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Full tank shots and stuff.

Have you had any issues with your banded barbs eating the RCS since you introduced them?

 

[schraptor]

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Full tank shots and stuff.

Very nice tank. I really like the in situ shot, the tank simply fits there.
What I don't like in a front shot is that big stone in the middle, maybe its just how it looks on the pictures, but it brings my attention and imho it is not so nice to be so exposed. It might be due to the other stones being covered by moss / shaded by other plants.

Anyway I hope you will get better in no time ! Iwagumi ftw !

 

[Mark Evans]

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Full tank shots and stuff.

Thanks chaps.

The flower is massive. Bigger than i thought it'd be...

re: the stone. Yes, it's horrid. It is getting covered my moss though. I did know this would happen with time, so hard scape really cant be judged until the scape is finished...which might be soon

I have a mammoth task with this tank next week....to move it to another destination....wish me luck!

Thanks mate. I've just about got enough bodies to lift it.

Time to catch the fish.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Full tank shots and stuff.

Hold your fishes! Don't forget to take a macro of that beautiful flower (thanks for sharing it)
Have fun moving the tank
