Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update

Fricking awesome dude.. it totally rocks..

You should actually put this sort of tank on display, on a shopping center, doctors office, or on a shop.. this has to be shared.. Can you do an hour long movie?

One of my favorites.
 
Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update

Amazing work Al. You deserve a beauty like this after all that hardship you went through at it`s initial inception! 😉
 
Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update

This is just spectacular!

I'd love to see a red species of lily in there. You can really emphasize floating plants in a tank like this.

By far the best example of this style of tank.
 
Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update

I love it Alistair. It looks so clean!

Tom and yourself have hopefully started a trend for big shallow square tanks, with jungles growing out of them 🙂

I'm all for it and hope to see more. Who's next???

Cheers

Gavin

This is cosmic! Really really good.

A quick question, sorry if its been answered, but how much evaporation do you experience?
My 2 footer evaporates so fast you'd think it's leaking!

Hey Whatok, no its not been answered lol, or asked before you. with it being such a wide tank the level doesnt appear to drop too much but id say around ten litres of eveaporation a week or more if i have the heating on alot. I just add 2 litres back each morning to prevent any big changes in water parameters.

Good point, another reason for you to have your next tank drilled & fit a sump Alistair. 🙂

you keep dropping hints at me to try a sump ha ha, on my next one i might just try it as its going to be a monster.

will update a little with pics from today shortly :thumbup:

Re: A Chocolate Puddle - pic update pg 20

that's perfect, it really is. You have even hit the rule of two thirds with the gap of the plants. Excellent pics of the shrimp as well.

you must be really proud of this mate.
