Well, that is it.....
I’d like to end this journal by saying a huge thanks to everyone on the forum who has contributed along the way. The input offered has certainly contributed to the success of this tank and for that, as with my first planted tank journal on UKAPS, I am always grateful.
This tank has offered everything that I set out to achieve.....and so much more.....returning back to the planted tank scene. Longevity, education, and enjoyment. There are so many facets to this hobby, and this tank has inspired me to try some new avenues.
I’m looking forward to creating a new smaller set up and get some existing projects (the Twenty Seven Thousand - 30c journal) up and running. One day I’m sure I will revisit this big tank, but for now I will enjoy multiple tank syndrome in a manageable way.
I have some amazing keepsakes from the scape, noteably the IAPLC 2020 final image and print my family got me, along with @George Farmer visiting and producing two incredible video montages alongside the recently released Practical fishkeeping magazine article which I am over the moon with. This tank in that respect has far exceeded expectation and I hope can inspire others to see the potential benefits of a longer term or even a simpler aquascape that still offers high impact.
I’ll leave things with a collection of the images which I’ll be honest, make me proud. It may sound a little over the top, but being part of this hobby is hugely beneficial in many ways. There is a strong sense of community, there is a connection with nature and it is an interest that can be enjoyed within our homes, which during recent times is especially beneficial.
Cheerio, and here’s to the next one 🙂
The recent PFK magazine article written by @GeorgeFarmer. I have copies of the high resolution images he took, however I think they are too large to upload so I have re-sized some of them to add.
