Enjoy! :)
 
I'm not sure but he is a Professional.. He recently showed off his creation that will be on display at the upcomming petworld tradeshow in Magdeburg Germany.
 
Inspirational. Serene, warm fuzzy feeling (say's in fiercely virile voice):clap:
 
He is a pro and posts regularly in FB.
 
What interests me the most in this scape is the emersed planted backpanel

He seems to use ADA tanks and the top backpanel seems to be some kind of Acrylic extension.. But this seems no ADA product.. I guess it must be something custom made. Hr doesn't realy elaborate on how it's made and who makes it.. Just a few pictures of the scape in progress.

Stainless steel bracket fixed to an acrylic panel, so it slides over and stands fixed on top of the backpanel.

Looks like it has a drip tray on top, kinda V shape gutter with holes to water the emersed growing plants.

It's a very interesting addon, to turn a standard aquarium into a raparium style setup. i wonder about this kits background. :) If that's a DIY job it is exeptionaly nice done..
 
Indeed.. :) The concept is rather simple and effective design.. But it's definitively build by a very well equiped craftsman..

And indeed there is a lot of money involved in creating price winning (diorama or jungle) scapes.. I realized from the first day i saw it, i don't have the cashflow for it.. Not even the product supplier nor the network, wouldn't know where to search for the hardscape materials needed. :) Just trying to force my luck with keeping my eyes open with the hope finding something nice once in a while..

Best scapes i've seen were from people living a stone throw away from abundand natural sources..
 
Yes, if i was from Brasil, where 80% of the country is Jungle i definitively woul dhave a different scape than i have now. Now i have a so called Pets Place Scape.. Sort of.. :lol: Also fun, but still it kinda shows.. :rolleyes:
 
You're good at making stuff, Marcel, why not give it a try?
I might try something like that if I can find the space. It won't look as nicely constructed and finished, because of the budget, but when the plants grow you won't be able to see the imperfections. :)

It crossed my mind.. Already was planning something like this for some time. :) But comletely different construction.. Seeing this concept kinda changed my mind.. This is just a simple stand alone extension to put on a standard tank, much better than something permanent. And this design is actualy not that hard to build. I wonder if and when this gadget pops up on the market. Or maybe already is somewhere.. :)
