I should of said...wider, not wide.
Although a wider angled lens will give a sense of 'big'
matt! a good layout will also add to the effect...plant positioning, giving a sense of 'depth' so actually, your also right.

I honestly envy you!!!!!!
Really nice one and something different.
Not like mine with a few plants,1 2 shelfs and some Pellets

Sorry guys, missed the last few posts.
a1matt, if you noted the opening date of this thread, it was 11th April '10. I was gonna do an update on the 1 year anniversary. So you'll just have to sit on your hands till then (8 days away)
Patience my man, patience
Andyh said he'll come back in a year too, so it will be good for him to see as well 😉

Hi all
OK, OK so I'm a day early .
Well people, this tank has been running for exactly 1 year tomorrow, so this post is a bit 'pic heavy' so apologies in advance 🙄
There have been some major changes since you last saw it.
After running it for 8 months as a low light tank, some of the mosses grew all spindly and didn't look their best. So I thought bring on the CO2 . So at Christmas I did. I also increased the light after that, to speed things up, and as you may see, healthy, bushy growth is now being achieved 😀 .
Still got to grow in a bit more, as some of the mosses have been replaced.
Oh, and the shrimp population is booming 😀 .
Anyway, enough rambling from me and on to the pics
Some Willow moss
Some Flame
Some pearling Riccia
Some Fissidens (Thanks to LD, yes it's still going 😀 )
Some shrimp shots
Some Monosolenium Tenerum (Thanks to a1matt, that's still going too
)
Some Lomariopsis lineata (Thanks to a1matt 😀 )
Couple of random shots
Looking in from the right hand side
Left side of the tank
Right side of the tank
Full tank (without spraybar )
Full tank (with spraybar 🙄 )
This tank has only been running with CO2 for 3 months.
Who knows what it will look like in another 12 months 😉
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking.

Looks awesome Chris 🙂 Lots of shrimp too! Do you have to trim the moss much, especially now with CO2?
Hi all
It does seem that I've a had shrimp baby boom lately. Don't know what that's all about 😀
Haven't done much trimming yet, It took a while for it to take off, but I can certainly notice the growth rate now.
Thanks Steve. We're getting there.SteveUK said:

Thanks Rik. It is certainly starting to go nuts 😀mlgt said:
I love the pearling, especially on the Lomariopsis, and nothing sets a moss tank off better than a huge colony of shrimp clambering all over it
I think it would look great if you add in some extra meshes to get complete coverage of the substrate (easily created with trimmings from your existing mosses).
