Scapes from Croatia

[Yeux]

Hello everyone from sunny Croatia.

My name is Leonard and I'm 30 years old. Aquascaping have been my passion for last 5-6 years and I really enjoy it. I learned a lot from the internet and fantastic sites like this one.


So here are my works from very beginning.



Here's how I started, juvel rekord 60, one lamp, non co2...

Then I was in biotope phase.

After that, I got hooked up...added one more T8 lamp and diy CO2.

And the rest is history.

2007.

2007. unsuccessful iwagumi :silent:

2008. started using t5 lamps.

2008/2009

2009.

2010.

And that's it. Hope you like it. All comments or questions are welcome.

Sorry on my english. Cheers.

Very nice tanks, and great improvement since 2007! The Iwagumi may not have been successful for you but it looks very healthy. Your 2010 scape is fantastic

Wow, amazing tanks Leonard and thanks for sharing

Please could you tell me the names of the plants in the 3rd tank (one with diy co2) I am particularly keen to know the name of the bushy one on the left and the grass on the right.

I currently dose diy CO2 and am keen to know which plants you managed to grow with this system.

Thanks, Jason

Thanks for all kind words and warm welcome .

Sorry for late reply, but I was very busy around designing first croatian aquascaping site at web adress http://www.hraquascape.org. I'm so proud.

@ greenjar
Plants in that tank are: Eleocharis parvula (grass), Fontinalis antipyretica, Anubias nana & Mayaca fluviatilis (bushy one).

@ wearsbunnyslippers
Dutch revival?
I don't think so...just don't like that style. It look's so unnatural to me and I wouldn't enjoyed it.

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

Hi everyone.


Here is my latest two scapes.


First one was from last summer, named Go Easy...easy plants, vacation.

Used some old school t8 lamps, 2*15W. 60cm tank.



And last one is 5 months old...minimalistic design. Name is Airy.

60 cm tank also, but got back to t5 lamps, diy substrate also.



Hope you liked them. Cheers from Croatia.
