Haha I actually watched the same video the other day I think :) was very useful! Tank looks really good dude, the final arrangement of the hardscape looks really nice and it's always more exciting when you see the plants in too :D Really cool use of the mesh bags too. Would have never thought...

Was a bit of a busy week so theres been quite a lot of updates but I've just not had time to write them up yet :) Added a layer of plant growth and the aquasoil on top, altered the arrangement slightly raising the stone on the right slightly more upright and turning the driftwood so the...

I've been playing around with the hardscape today, have had a few various arrangements left sat throughout the day and think I've decided on something like this. I've not added the substrate yet so it will change slightly and slope towards the front. The rocks are welsh slate which I really love...

Nice :D I look forward to seeing it all come together. A surface peace lily sounds fantastic too. I'd love to try something like that further down the line! Those red root floater look really cool! I have some frogbit that I've just been spreading round but I will have to have a look at those :)...

Beautiful ADA tank and some really nice hardscape pieces there! I particularly like the layout that works around the light, I'm a big fan of shallow tanks with protruding hardscape though so I am a bit bias.. Have you got any ideas for what sort of plants you'd like to add yet?

Thanks! I think you're totally right, it doesn't really fit the look at all and it almost seems criminal to use a sponge filter in this tank. I do have an indicator for monitoring. I was planning to run this tank for a few weeks submerged with a dry start for a few weeks prior to that to let...

Recently decided to update the living room tank which currently houses 1 flame dwarf gourami and a handful of harlequin rasboras. We have another cobalt blue dwarf gourami in another tank which I’d like to move into this tank also once set up, but the flame gourami is a bit of a wild child so...

Congrats! :drinks:

Glad you found it helpful :) you have a very cool betta too!

You had me there :rofl: it worked at least which is something :D

Yeah I agree :) neat for playing around with ideas before committing to something further It's a bit basic for sure, I thought it was being updated pretty regularly but the last documented update looks to be 2021 which is a shame. There's a few good stores around by me for scaping bits and...

Ahh thats a shame :( I've only tried it on computer with Chrome browser and it works quite well. Was it just not loading? Was playing around with it again earlier actually and noticed once you've planned a scape it will calculate the amount of materials, co2 and light you will need. Not sure...

I have used aliexpress before and found them to be quite good for certain things, I have a few NICREW airpumps actually and they're quite good. I'm interested to hear how the filter is after you've used it a bit, not a fan of the HOB look either but it's neat how you can use it as a canister...

Glad they all arrived ok! I agree, they do a good job ensuring safe delivery. Sounds like a nightmare regarding the Amazon plants.. thankfully never had a problem getting issues with Amazon orders resolved though it seems to be becoming increasingly more difficult each time haha. What are the...

Couldn't see any mention of this via a search but I stumbled across this site, scape-it.io which is really nice for planning out a scape. It doesn't have everything but it seems to have enough to be incredibly useful, at least for me! Looks like it does get frequent updates adding new...

What a fantasic looking tank, looks really natural. The videos look fine to me, was good seeing them have dinner :D

I definitely will once the first few bits arrive! Ahh that's handy to know, thanks! I will have to remember to check back on those days closer to the time :D

That is absolutely something I'd have overlooked and done 😂 I hope your plants make it ok! It will be a little while before I get a few plants again, awaiting on a new tank to arrive in the next few weeks so will be grabbing some substrate and could possibly find room for a surprise one though...

I've had a few things in my basket this week but not ordered yet, looks like i've missed the lucky dip plants so will see what it's like next week :D it's nothing urgent anyway Do, will be good to see what you end up getting :)

The black background looks much better I think, adds more visual depth :) Interested to see what your lucky dip plant is, I'm always tempted by that

Excluding fish would probably be the gym, hiking, combat sports and sim racing games. I enjoy watching most types of motorsport if I'm honest 🏁

I am a programmer/lead systems ops, specifically Linux systems for a small software company. I enjoy doing both so it was nice to move to a startup and have the flexibility of doing a bit of everything. I'm too outspoken to work in a corperate environment, nor do I like shirts. Before that I...

I actually get mine from Pro Shrimp, their prices are usually pretty good and never had any issues with their stuff :)

This is Kevin my half moon betta. I never really considered getting a betta as I was too selfish to want to commit a whole tank to a single fish but now I work fully remote I decided a desk tank would be a nice addition. It was actually my partners idea to get the betta and I won't say no if she...

Incredible the amount of detail in all these tanks, really are quite something and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing them! I really like the 2nd from the bottom, I think the shallow tanks look really neat and draw more attention to the contents. Now I'm going to have to keep an eye out for...

It really doesn't do it justice with the single pic in TOTM. I really do like what you've done with that scape, I see the stream is up too - nice seeing it active. My current nano is just that, a single piece of wood with some selected plants. I have been thinking of redoing a tank currently...

Wow that's some tank room, I can see why people travel up there. I have a nano that currently houses a betta and the odd shrimp. I would certainly like to do a plant only tank though, to have a proper go at the whole aquascaping thing. I just need to find somewhere to put it.. I have seen the...

Really nice arrangement and contrast between the rock and wood meeting in the middle, look forward to seeing it further along :)
