Wow its been a while.

Anyways update time! This tank got moved 180 miles and ended up with green water through neglect so I decided to keep it running and sort the issues. I did 50% water changes twice a week. 3 months later the water cleared and I could see that all of the plants had died apart from the rotala bonsai and a few stems of montecarlo so I decided to replant it with pots that were getting thrown out at work

Heres a pic a few weeks after planting after planting excuse the bba on the rocks, most of this is gone after excel spot treatment

and today with new spraybar fitted











possibly the first stainless spraybar on ukaps🙂

Hi Andy, Good to hear you got the green water sorted Scape is looking great now and nice plant growth 🙄

Love the SS Spray bay 😎

 

[Rob Dahl]

Nicely done Andy. Everything is looking healthy now.

 

[Andy Thurston]

Thanks guys

I nearly forgot the tmc tile is now running at 100% and I want to change the stems at the rear corners to something a bit shorter, I want to keep the rotala bonsai though

ye all is cool I was not in it at the time it was quite exciting watching the fire brigade put it out. I have new wheels now

 

[Andy Thurston]

New plant added back right Many thanks Neil (Nelson)

I am planning on cleaning the hardscape and cutting the carpet. This tank will be coming to an end shortly to make way for my next project hopefully everything will come together for the final shot in about a months time.

I picked up my new tank today, Many thanks Ryan, with a bit of luck some of yours and Ian's talent will have rubbed off on it.

Here's the new tank with the rocks piled in the middle🙂

Just need to sort the lighting

Sorry mate, Ryan offered it to me a few months ago but I didn't have the cash. I was just lucky that I was online when he added it to the sales section. I hope I can do it justice

 

[Nelson]

I hope I can do it justice

I'm sure you will 😉.

Quick pic. co2 has run out and haven't changed it yet. I have reduced the light to 50% and continued dosing excel @ 5ml daily everything seems fine no algae on the plants, just the equipment and hardscape

 

[Nelson]

Clean it off .

the snails and shrimp appear to be starting to eat it. I need more so they do it faster and I can be lazy
