I know I have replied to this already, but I’ve just lost two hours with a couple of drinks listening to Van Morrison watching this tank.
I haven’t found myself so engaged in viewing a tank in a long time, it’s calming indeed.

That's awesome Ady, NA style is where it's at. It really is a piece of nature in doors.
It makes me happy 💚
Yep, I totally agree, timeless classic.
I’m so grateful to have came across your sale post. I really enjoy the whole system 🙏🏻
I had a lightground made to fit, I tried it on however in real life it clashed with the whole feel so I have taken it off….
I’m really enjoying the interactions within this scape, the jellybean tetra are awesome little fish, but I have always felt the scape needed something else…a statement fish… I visited my local aquascaping store @Horizon Aquatics over the weekend and fell in love with the understated but characterful Chocolate gourami. I have increased the temperature in the tank to suit and hope it doesn’t have a negative impact on the system, but I just had to add them. They are the perfect addition 😍
my little parotocinclus haroldoi are looking great in here now too…
The photoperiod is 6 hours and 15 minutes (slowly increasing) i dose Ada brighty k and green brighty mineral daily. Co2 is on 2hrs before the photoperiod for a green dc for lights on.
Cheerio,
Ady.

Hi,
It’s been a while and just thought I’d share this little video of the scape.
It’s slow and steady and very nice to live with.

Tank looks awesome! I also like the whole high tech interior design surrounding the tank. 👍

Lovely video Ady. Very relaxing tank.
Thank you.
Thanks Tim, hope your well?
Thank you Gill.
I ran a course of treatment last week 🤞🏻

This is what my tanks always look like in my head before I start. Unlike you, I never quite realise the dream. This is the kind of tank you could stare at for hours on end.
That’s beautiful @Ady34 - very nicely done, it looks like one of the Pro ADA gallery tanks!
Nicely filmed as well, what did you use?

This tank is just incredible. Love the Chili Rasbora in that sea of green, look really impactful. Bet you lose hours in front of that!
Thank you.
Ha, it changed a little from my initial vision to be fair. I do find myself watching the tank for long periods.
Thanks, that’s very nice of you to say, although not quite ADA gallery, I appreciate the positivity
Just filmed on my iPhone 11 by hand 🤳🙌🏻
So pleased you like it, the 🌶️ rasbora do look great in here 😁 They were re-homed in here from a recent tank purchase.
Thanks for the comments,
Cheerio,

Hi,
here’s a little maintenance timelapse video….
Maintenance was a little more involved this week, with hoses and glassware, sand siphon and trimming of the hygrophila sp. Tiger along with the regular glass panel cleaning and water change.
It was just over 2 hours condensed into 20 seconds. It was a nice chilled session listening to music and I enjoyed the process.
In amongst the video I entertained the dog and the cat came for a little drink 😀
Weekly maintenance is usually around 1hr.
Here’s the tank ready for a week of enjoyment and a link to the video underneath.

Hi,
Not a huge amount changes in the tank, just trim the mosses occasionally and thin the fern leaves and cyperus leaves which is nice…..
I’ve added to the collection now and am at a stage of confirming a higher maintenance plant list for this one. Moved my fish wall art behind the tanks also.
I positioned the new tank on an angle to maximise viewing angle from my seat…
I added a schefflera plant in the space behind the tank…
I also got a betta from @Horizon Aquatics, he’s called Vega 💪🏻
Here’s a little update video also:

Very nice Ady, love how the wood is rooted in the stone. You've got a Fibonacci or golden spiral going on there, and it's really easy on the eye but still has tension.
Thanks Tim, it’s planted now, hopefully it will end with a lovely backdrop of stems…..after the ‘ugly’ stages of course 🤣
