Hi everyone firstly hope you are all well.
well am finally doing my rescape after over a year with last scape 😳 so its a long time coming. Not sure how to place pictures n order so i will explain what i did then add images at end.
firstly i partially drained the tank left filter running and removed majority ofthe plants. hence the bucket of buceaphlandra.(will be reusing a lot of my plants)
i thin removed hardscape an left tank to clear abit as was very cloudy.
drained even more then spent hours an hours trying to catch shrimp much more than i imagined so next time will put a trap out days before.
i then set filter up on large blue container and added a few plants and put all livestock in there.
once all out i used a small sweeping shovel to get out the lavarock and aquasoil.
i then kept filling tank and rinsing the glass best i could and cleaned so looked like new. That took a day.
Day 2 i added some of the lavarock an aquasoil into lidl fruit bags and added to tank for some height.(ideal at 49p for 2)
i then added fresh aquasoil and had a play with hardscape. quite happy with final layout so far using bog wood 2 lovely large peices and frodostone.(still jave a lot of large stones left but keep for another day)
and thats it so far, i will be ordering plants today and planting friday as busy tomorro any recomendations etc welcome also have a few questions,
will my plants be ok in a bucket as havnt got in the filter runnig bucket however i could add ino there ?
will it be ok to add my shrimp etcstraght into the tak as carriying out large water changes daily.
thanks and looking forward to sharing my journal Dean
