- ada 60p aquascaping seiryu talawa
Alto:
Tank: yes, no problem
House: no way
Dave:
Thanks for the advice. I've tried both soil and I liked the fact that the tropica gives no algae at the beginning but It won't last as long as the ada for nutrient release, hence my question about tabs.
Tam:
I Totally agree...that's why I'm thinking of using only small batch of riccardia glued on rocks and wood. This is by far the less invasive moss I know. (And one of the better looking
)
Would love to find the R.graeffei instead of the chamedryfolia but it's rare, I'll have to wait for aquasabi to have it back in stock.
Finally, I'm waiting for an (hopefully) awesome hydor pro filter 350 to replace my old jbl e901 that was falling appart!
Cheers,
Thierry

Btw lovely hard for ada polska but no plants would fill in nthere
Textures and colours are amazing but suspect water effect would lessen the impact as most woods become more uniform & dark over several weeks ... it would be interesting to try short term as a hardscape only tank
ADG Senske brothers do quite a few hardscape only tanks
I quite like the third in with electric blue rams but suspect it’s not easy to maintain an algae free balance
I expect Sunday plants
Haha, exactly!
Done, day 1
Plants:
Rotala h´ra
Rotala rotundifolia
Hemianthus micranthemoides
Hc cuba
Crypto parva
Anubia pangolino
Bucephalandras
Hydrocotyle tripartita
Riccardia
Cheers!

Looking good! Will be nice to see it grow in.
Consider adding a mesh or something to the Eheim skim or the “Pit of Death” as I’ve come to know it! To be fair if you rescue them in time shrimp usually survive.
Do you rate the twinstar sterilizer things? Why do people put them sideways?

Love the tank CooKieS, I’ve just used Talawa wood and seiryu myself and they work really well together. I like the detail and the small Asia wood roots add to it, it looks great planted up and I’ll look forward to seeing it develop 
Thanks for the eye candy
Not sure about the mix of rotundifolia and H’ra but interested to see how they go
I like this planting better than original sketch with C helferi
- could maybe add some small amount E montevidensis later as it’s more delicate leaf
Excellent photos
I had to check back that tank was flooded

Thanks guys!
As for the eheim skim, I don't keep shrimps in my tank so it should be ok, never had fishes trapped in it at the moment. Thanks for the tips
It's an chihiros doctor 4, I'm only using it to give O2 at night because I'm diffusing CO2 24/7...it's useless against algae in my tanks. I put it sideways to avoid any shadow zone under it and it seems to get cleaner longer this way.
First Time with talawa, awesome Wood to work with and as you said, matches well with seiryu, thanks!
Not sure about plant selection too, we'll see how it goes.
Day 5 update,first 30% WC, dosing brighty K neutral...otherwise nothing new, thanks to seachem purigen water is cristal clean even without soaking woods or sand! Plants are OK, rotalas are already growing...cheers!

Looks really nice, can't wait to see this mature.
Looking great
Thanks, me too, lots of trimming planned on this one!
Thanks, light is 100%, it's the twinstar 600e so it's only medium power for this tank, 6hours per day
CO2 24/7, lime green 24/7.
Looking great
Thanks Tim
