Re: NA Style Baby... (Planting Plan)

The 7D is a lovely piece of kit. I have the 60D and felt for my wife it would be easier to use as the viewfinder does have its uses.

Looking forward to seeing more pics. It was lovely weather to take pics yesterday at St James.

Haha, lovely weather. Freezing...

Anyways here is planted and finally equipped picture. 6 days since planting and 3 days of co2 and lights on timers.
Couple water changes also.
Equipment is temporary until i sort out lighting fixture. Will switch to glassware and external heater later.
It is running with solo eheim 2076e atm and looks like there is enough flow.

DC is green cause after the water change... Moss was taken from my vivarium nano. I was surprised how much i had from that little 15l.

Well done for getting it all sorted in a matter of weeks. Its looking good and I suggest taking a time lapse photo once a week in the office and then putting it all together at the end of the year showing its growth.

I know the 7D is a joy to use so any excuse to take more photos mate.

Definitely one to watch. Is the sand going to be easy to keep at that gradient do you think?

Once a week is a bit too much for me 🙂 Too many tanks. Plus it is a slow grower so something once a month will be noticeable.

No idea with the sand Tom. First time i am using sand. Grains are quite big so it is more like a fine grain gravel. Will see.
So far it is not sliding.

The scape is awesome mate. Will look brillant after 1-2 months because of the slow growing ones.

The photo is a bit blurry, the focus is not on the right place probably. Too bad as the scape is shout for a razor sharp capture. 😀

Re: NA Style Baby... (Planted)

can i just ask how much rock you have there? It's a hard thing to quantify online..

Thanks Victor. You might be right about the photo. I admit i was too lazy to photo it properly. 😳

Difficult to tell really. Mb about 7-8kg or so. It is very difficult with the rock, especially when you buy online and cant see what you get. If you can afford buy more than you need, this way you can choose best pieces.

The 7d changes things a bit for the better.

Re: NA Style Baby... (Planted)

Stunning - i'm sure it will look wicked when it's grown in but i really like it as is - looks very modern and minimalist. Be sure to keep us posted!

I knew that something is different after planting. Need to adjust one piece of wood now.
Having so many tanks at the same time i have to admit my attention is spread and i cant watch them all at the same level as if i had only one or 2.

Thanks, not mature enough probably?
I am tempted though. Will set a starting point and target to improve later.
