Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

Yeah I'd say the first one is an espei and the other two are just Harlequins, probably some colour variations.

I really love this pic, you can almost see the flow of water in the tank if you know what i mean!

I really must beg you to make the journey to derby one day with your camera kit once my lounge tank is grown in!

Re: "Prairie Lands"... diatoms.

love the pic, as Andy says you can just see that flow! The plants look super healthy. A couple of otos will soon sort the diatoms.

Great in-situ shots, Mark.

If in doubt, get the scrubbing toothbrush out! 😀

Re: "Prairie Lands"... diatoms.

I've started up a you tube channel to alongside my vimeo channel.

you tube seems to get a massive amount of hits compared to vimeo (sadly)



anyway, the videos can be viewed in any size, all the way up to 1080p

 

[Mark Evans]

Re: "Prairie Lands"... now on you tube

well, you tube works! 😀

i've had more plays in 2 hours than i've had in 3 weeks on vimeo. at least some people are watching 8)

Re: "Prairie Lands"... now on you tube

trim number 1.

I've hacked the foreground, to encourage new growth. After doing it, i quite like the low look. The thought of HC is crossing my mind at the minute 😵



diatoms are plaguing me at the moment, and are thoroughly doing my head in!

 

[Garuf]

Re: "Prairie Lands"... trim no.1

I don't believe that you didn't induce them to give you something to do. Not for a second. 😛
Looks great for a trim, don't do hc thought, go for hair grass, belem if you can get it.

my own fault mate....increased the lighting last week, removed some of the white tape!.... WRONG! big mistake. I'm paying for it now.

I should of listened to that mad little voice in my head.

Yeah, your right, HC would look silly. moss, sprinkled with hydracotle maybe? A rough look would look nice yet unruly...or chaotic
