Looks the biz mate, nice pics as well. It does need to be a bit lower though...one cm from the water please.

 

[Bufo Bill]

George, both the kit and the scape are spectacular. You always find a good angle to push at the boundaries of our hobby. I am greatful and indebted to you. You deservedly get given a lot of compliments, and if they are all as heartfelt as mine, well you're doing great.
All the best from Bill.

Fantastic looking bit of kit, and as a bonus you can install it upside down at christmas.

 

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

Looks unreal.
Nothing concern you about dangling a grand light over a very nice looking tank of water?

Hi all,

I have the Giesemann Futura up and running and I have to say that after a couple of minor installation issues (my own fault) it's an extremely impressive piece of kit. I've seen and tried a lot of LED units and this is the best so far. But it is also the most expensive by far, so one would hope so...

Some pics -

Looking pristine George, that light is a very nice looking piece of equipment and compliments the minimalism of the set up beautifully….you can hardly see the white cable either

So, George, with the savings of buying just one pot of elatine you get enough money to spend in a Giesemann Futura and plus the twinstar? Would you consider work as Ministro das Finanças here in our bankrupt country?

 

[George Farmer]

I think we're on week 8 now.

Growth is steady and the usual green algae build-up seems to have been slowed by the Twinstar...

And the light is amazing.

 

[Pedro Rosa]

George, so you have a good opinion about Twinstar, like Viktor Lantos? ... or it's still early to say something?
Those two last pictures are superb!

Pedro.

It looks so squeaky clean, the colour is great. The light seems to be a very good investment.

Just looked at this thread and love the general cleanliness of the execution. Some questions for you; how do you go about picking your hardscape? Do you ever purchase online or always see in person? Do you have an idea in mind before your selection?

Keep up the excellent work.

Apologies for missing this question, Neil.

All the (Mini Landscape/Seiryu Stone) rocks you see here have been collected over the last few years by mail-order. I've just been lucky to get some nice pieces.

 

[George Farmer]

Hi all,

I think it's been about 10 weeks now. Nearly there....

Merry Christmas!

 

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

Excellent George.
Everything looks so crisp and clinical.

Well done.
Merry Xmas

What brand Lilly pipes are you using there George?

 

[tim]

Looking superb, testament to your plant growing skills

 

[darren636]

I find it incomprehensible how you achieve and maintain your set- up to such high standards. Attention to detail is outrageous.

 

[Pedro Rosa]

That green grass is superb. One more excellent aquarium from you.

Pedro.
