A New Adventure (a jungle mess)

Congrats Ian the scape is looking awesome 🙂 been looking into these tanks also as they seem good value for money! going to keep an eye on this one for sure :clap: :thumbup:
 
Hi there. I see from the first page you have used Tropica underneath the sand. Do you mean this stuff ... Tropica Plant Substrate 2.5 litre ? And can I ask how much you used in a tank that size ? I really like the look of that sand too. It would be good to know quantity again so I can work out how much I might order for my new tank Im hoping to buy next month.
 
thank you all again, i really appreciate the comments.

Yep, thats the stuff. I think i used just 2.5 ltrs, again i used about 10-15kgs of sand. I have used the Tropica stuff in nano tanks and its worked well. We'll see how it fairs in this one.

I thought i'd get some pics in the light of the cabinet, inside and out.

I love the look of this scape and tank Ian, all that moss has given it an instant mature feel, that and the mega bolbitis! What fish have you got there, Embers?

It's only been up for a few days! Give it a couple of weeks and it'll be crammed.

Thank you ady, and you spotted the fish! They are my harlequins out of my last tank, they will help to keep the filter ticking over. I was impressed with the bolbitis. It's really healthy as well.
 
All looking superb...lovin' the tech, very elegant, and the scape is none too shabby either. Nice images as well.

The set up looks really nice. Silicone is much neater than my Natural Aquario tank.

Thank you for the comment, I took the anubias out of the old scape. It was only two posts, there's probably 8 posts worth in there now.

Very nice mate - it really does look so neat, the sense of scale on the scape is brilliant! It suits your room well too, your mrs must be pleased? 🙂

Cheers Gary! The mrs is very happy with this style of tank in the living room. She stated that the old one looked old fashioned compared to this one. She's a good un really.
