Yes way too many, I have to rescape it to start a new journal! lol

Many thanks, it doesn't look anything like it any more as I have let it go a little wild, I might post a photo at some stage lol

The lack of decent hardscape around these areas has put me off it, its getting better now with some stores stocking more varieties so we will see, unless you want to ship me some rocks 😛

How have you got 4 Bulbs in a 125? Do you have 2 Juwel Units and 1 Modified Lid Panel instead of the standard 1 Unit and 2 Panels?

I was also thinking of going for a double juwel unit but I cant find any for the 125 over 20w per bulb???

paulo if your looking for great hardscape go to aquatic design centre in great portland street central london.

they have AMAZING pieces of redmoor, from very large to nano, and they have seiryu stone but under a different name, and dragon stone under that name, and a stone called pagoda stone, all in big amounts and different sizes, they said they can get big pieces of stone to order too.

and its easy to get to from stockwell, 196 bus to vauxhall, then an 88 bus from vauxhall all the way to aquatic design centre.

Regards, Gus.

P.S would love to see some new pics.

They are lovely, I have lost a few over the months though, I am down to around 14 now. CO2 overdosing and EC the culprits!

P.S would love to see some new pics.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have been shopping at ADC for a long time 😉

The tank has been just sitting there for the last 6 months or more, haven't done nothing to it, reduced the lighting to 2x24w, reduced CO2, dose whenever I remember, water changes once a month, its a sight for sore eyes to be honest lol

Last time you were over the only thing left was the gravel, just removed that and its an old photo already 😛

Might try an Iwagumi, something different.

Thanks mate, its been fun and thought it would never end also, due to work load and a lot of neglect and a heater failure around xmas this tank turned to crap, so it was only fitting that I would finally get rid of the gravel lol

the end of an era .
looking forward to a new scape from you though 😀 .

All good things come to an end 😛
Cheers, will see what I can pull out of the hat.
