Old Juwel 120L repurposed and placed on the garden, to try an emersed aquascape.
This was my first proper tank, and have had at two scapes on IAPLC. The tank was going good, until the jbl e1500 stopped working, a close inspection lead me to see that the impeler had broken.
I ordered one online and turned the filter off, put the media outside, and let the pipes dangling at the back. I thought that I had it all turned off, but there was a small leak on the inlet and some water got on the floor. The cabinet got water damaged overnight.
Without wanting to risk the tank cabinet collapsing, I turned it all off, called my brother to come and get some fish, and distributed the other fish through my tanks.
The plants I bagged.
Today I cleaned up the tank, and put it on the garden, as the substrate was Ebi gold, I added some ADA amazonia, reused some rocks and planted what I could, covered with clingfilm and it is now outside waiting for the plants to adapt to emersed life.
Some pictures of the progress:
