[Ryan Thang To]

Oh yeah. Lol
My ehiem filter as a reactor work great for me. You should be fine for a few days.

Scape look awesome by the way. Be interesting what plants you will be adding

 

[Andy Thurston]

Well that was fun just found my email has been hacked and now temporarily blocked too. It would appear that the ex is trying to screw with me. just had to use a different account to contact co2art.
cheers Ryan your the only person thats seen the new scape. lol, I had to think what you meant then, I thought you were on about the muddy puddle for a second or so

 

[Andy Thurston]

speaking of new scape I'd better crack on.
plants will be
monte carlo
rotala bonsai
rotala wallichi
and I'm going to put the buce, in the shade under the largest rock

[Andy Thurston]

not happy just broke my glass outlet pipe, at least it was the cheap piece and i can make do with crappy green pipe and elbows. just the fish to catch then I can get some pics up.

 

[Andy Thurston]

Pics.
Waters a bit hazy and there's a free floating buce in there waiting till tomorrow to be sorted

temporary flood to wet substrate ready for planting and get rid of bits

some neglected monte carlo hope I have enough lol

rotala wallichi (back left) lets hope it bounces back, these were the best bits from the last scape

rotala bonsai and a couple of eriocaulons (back right). buce trapped under rock in the middle is going in the shade under the biggest rock tomorrow

Day 8 since the rescape.
new up inline replaced thanks Karol and Co2art. new reg and needle valve on beta test Also from co2Art. All seems well with these just a minor pressure adjustment needed on day 2 of use, co2 seems dialled in in 2 days plants seem happy as do fish.
New rear exit pipe for spraybar fitted, Thanks John and Aquarium plant food UK for the speedy service.
Anyway pics please excuse the bba left from the neglect in the last scape, new growth looks nice and algae free happy days

Rotala bonsai, will trim the bba when I have enough new growth to replant

Same with the rotala wallichi

hoping the snails will clear the dead bits of this

Otto trying to hide and finally FTS

Thanks for looking

 

[Andy Thurston]

need an inline heater and some backgrounds now

 

[Andy Thurston]

one of the glowline tetras has decided it didn't like its new home and has committed suicide, the remaining 2 and the ottos are looking ok still

 

[Ryan Thang To]

My neon did that last month

 

[EnderUK]

nice setup Andy, shame about the glowlight.

 

[Andy Thurston]

Cheers Kenny its the same cube you have, where did you get it from? I was thinking about getting another one but didn't fancy driving to Harrogate

 

[EnderUK]

Yeah Harrogate, they had to order it. So I guess anywhere that sells aqua one tanks would be able to get it. I was thinking of upgrading the shrimp tank to either the 40 or the 30 but then I would have another spare tank.

 

[Andy Thurston]

Things seem to be going ok.
sorry for the co2 mist.
Thanks for looking
