....years....😛That's looking super healthy!
You'll have a full HC carpet in 6 months.
on the plus side it seems my hairgrass and pretend glosso are on the move, along with the stringy algae too 🙂

Hi Dean,Sorry to hear ady that's only problem with the Lilly pipes and there not cheap, how do u clean the Lilly pipes mate ?
Will be with crack until u get new one anyway or use the ones with filter , keep ur head up mate
Dean
but you can see them 😛FWS sell metal ones 😉 you should give those a try 😉
yeah, remove completely to clean. In all honesty it could have been either removing it, cleaning it or replacing it that caused the crack, just a tap in the wrong place against the tank could easily do it....i only noticed later on when i was looking closely at the tank, i didnt notice when i refitted it so maybe it was putting it back that my hammer hands did the damage 😱 could be worse it could have gone in my hand.millionares lol ur right its very expensive hobby and i am only starting and only have a nano, i havnt cleaned mine yet but think i read about soaking in bleach solution, thing is do you have to remove piping every time aswel because that means could damage doing that lol and like you say you need it running to dose the co2 and in my case keep temp up so couldnt leave off for long and sorry mate i know how much regulators are
cheers Dean
probably 2/3 of the width of the tank compared to mine which only has about 1/3 at the rear!
I know a lot of it has to do with my initial plans for the tank, and it varies on what look you are trying to achieve, but shows the room he leaves for planting and probably helps him get great perception of depth and very bushy plants. Having this much room at the rear most likely helps with circulation too without masses of hardscape obstructing the flow back there.
I was quite surprised anyway at the line of hardscape and the space allowed, so thought i would share 😛
high praise Ian, and very flattering thank you, im gonna change my surname now so i can be Ady. A........my bad!You're a brave man Ady! But it appears to have paid off. This reminds me of very early amano. Well done mate!
Very much appreciated Dean. I love wood scapes, good pieces make it easy to use as they can take the hard work out of scaping, but i do crave a clean cut iwagumi!looking superb mate really good I ordered some more mini hair grass for centre of my tank and don't think going to cut the stuff at the back any as sick of waiting and just want growth now once the grass is in going to get some shrimp in there but just letting you know mate and the next tank I ever do will defiantly have lovely feature wood like this one and the colours are beautiful mate
Dean
you may well be right there Ian, i may give it a go next water change. It may not stay at all once the vallis nana grows in.Looks great mate, really healthy...looking at that last photo, there is one thing I would do as the back looks a tad messy in the upward regions. I would move that aponogeton and place it in the back left. Something tells me it'll look better there.
