This one is intended to get you thinking outside the box

I love the dennerle nano cubes and this has to be one of the nicest of the bunch.

nice 🙂 Im going to pop into aquajardin at the weekend when Im down in Stroud

 

[Garuf]

Yeah they're great, I wish they did them as just the tank and light, for most of us it's just the best way especially if you're going the no in-tank equipment route.

This guys frog collection makes me painfully jealous.

I was fortunate enough to be able to buy an almost new 20l Dennerley cube, light and filter from Chris Lukhaup at vivarium. He had 4 or 5 which he was using to sell his wild caught shrimp out of, and was then selling them off at the end of the show. Best 30 euros I've spent in a long time

It gets no better for 30€

STM Wave tanks are really nice too.
Same curved front corners as the Dennerle, but more traditional dimensions:

STM are a very good retailer too, I recommend them. It is sad that they are online only these days.

Mine wasn't so bad at £50ish for the plus model, Most of it I haven't even used. I don't feel so hard done by knowing the rrp here is £100ish!

Thanks for posting those Matt, I used to have a wave filter many moons ago, they're good stuff all round, I think there clip on lights are identical to the supafish ones too which is handy.

Another Ukaps member earning a GEAMS, congrats John. Exemplary use of moss and wood, lots of lessons learnt and all under 18w over 60l!

I did say it won't always be aquatic, here's the bike of my dreams.

An interesting "new" take on terrariums, they certainly have that minimalism thing most of us crave from Wabi's and iwagumi going on.

Would love to do something like this. Wonder how much light is needed to pull this off. Home natural light may not be enough.

Massager ayyyyye??? 😀

I can't really make out that picture out, looks like some wierd blue mushrooms

Nice post garuf, looks like a little piece of art, I'm sure a frog would tear up the moss and make a mound to hang around haha.

Massager ayyyyye??? 😀

Yeah i think it should be "Mature pocket aquarium massager" ehem. I dont quite get the aquarium bit either.

 

[Garuf]

What on earth... What on earth were you googling to get that?! Infact, I'm not sure I want to know!

I don't think you'd need too much light, as long as it's getting indirect natural light it should well be fine. I know a sure fire way of finding out, PAR metering the place you collected the plants from and where you plan on putting them, I reckon you should need too much, Darrel would be the one to ask.

 

[ghostsword]

Yeah, I think that I should invest on a par meter. Will look for one online, or see if I can find a shop close to London that would sell one, feel better shelling £250 in person.

Damn it Gareth, you finally did it... now I want to go and make a Wabi Kusa

 

[Garuf]

I hope some one does from my posts, my attempt failed miserably, if I've inspired one person to do something then job done!

 

[a1Matt]

This is the first time I've seen a post and it has triggered a direct urge to run off and create. But I've been plenty inspired throughout. I bet more have too, they probably just don't mention it. Happy Easter and good night! 🙂
