The little one

The tank hit 1 year and 2 months since I've started it and still going strong.
A picture after the usual 2 weeks water change.

Lovely job mate. You're brave to have red plants at each end of the scape. It's playing tennis with my eyes! 🙂
 
Thanks mate! Yeah it's a good focusing exercise. 🙂
The two left red stems on the left side are planted temporarily as they are to small to be added in the back and I plan to move the lotus in a focal point next year but I'm not rushing anywhere as things are not evolving to fast in this tank. Regarding the scape evolution I need to have H. polysperma on both sides to cover the edges and to replant H. micranthemoides to cover all the foreground and maybe keep a small clear path.
Now I'm maintaining it with 2ml of TNP+ and 2ml EasyCarbo daily, 30% water change twice a month.

Cheers,
Mike
 
Still using my old Canon 450D + the kit lets at 35mm (56mm) to minimize the barrel distortion, F5 1/20 in this case and luckily the fish were calm and moving slowly. 🙂
Tank lightning as usual, 3x865x15W in this case + 2x880x24W in the back, when I match the white balance the background gets a nice blue tint.
Next year I'll upgrade the lenses starting with a 24-105L and a 70-300IS and then maybe thinking on upgrading the camera if my finances are ok.
 
Well a month later a new water change and photo. Things move along slowly but there's no rush. 😀

Red plants moved in the other aquarium, I wanted to place them somewhere in a focal point but there's no space. 🙂
I need to trimm the echinodorus on the right but that's another story ...

Thanks again for looking,
Mike
 
Thanks guys! :wave: I had a plan with this tank but now I don't have any idea how it will look like in the future, should train my fish into aquascaping, might make my life easier. :lol:
 
Thanks Sam! 🙂

It's kinda funny looking at anchor moss how it outgrows my anubias. I know where its name come from, it anchors itself to everything. I can hardly pull it from a covered leaf. More an algae than a moss. I also found out I can grow it to cover BBA. :lol:

Thank you, yes you're right, it costs as little as 3-4£/month to maintain this 60l tank, this includes fish food, fertilizers and water changed.

Cheers,
Mike
 
Thanks guys! Really appreciate your comments! 🙂

Kris, I'm using on wood various mosses like anchor and taiwan, anubias petite, microsorum needle and hydrocotyle tripartita.

Cheers,
Mike
