Quick update on the tank now it's grown in for a while!  No more moss sadly as the Angelfish decided it was good to pull apart for some reason!!    

It will rot in your tank, it's not an aquatic plant but actually a Dracaena sp. it is commonly sold but this one and the red/green variety would be more at home in soil on your windowsill. I'd take it back if you can as it won't last and will pollute your tank.

The branches are a bloody nightmare to get past!!! The worst are the far left one and the far right which sticks out the water a bit! Causes no end of annoyance! Moss seem to be doing well, which is unusual for me as I seem to kill moss!! Fingers crossed it doesn't die! Thanks guys :-)

This is looking really good!  I am going to be doing my 35l again as it's more swamp than tank right now!  can't wait to see this one develop further!

Not grown in too much, but thought I would update with a FTS and a few pics of my angels which I got a couple of weeks ago!  Also a couple of other residents! Fish photography still leaves much to be desired!                      

I got this at my local shop (though a very big and famous fishkeeper chain! It's redmoor root, and is £19.99 a kilo. But it's really light when dried so this wasn't too expensive. It's been tied/glued together too :-)

Going to be another stunner I reckon!! I really like it :-)

Thought I would update a week into it, with a better FTS from my decent camera :)  Hope you like!  

Well, it's still very young at the moment, only 1 week post "rescape"  but thought I would give it a bash anyway!     and my verification  

Also, for Daize, here is a video with the LED's, they can be one colour solidly (7 choices) or flash between them, or merge into them (as shown).   Some colours look better than others though!   http://smg.photobucket.com/user/biohazard156/media/Tank%20rescape%202014/IMG_0116_zps2215eb90.mp4.html

So, the pics as promised!  I have to apologise for the fuzzy quality, they are from my iphone!   Here is some of the wood which was used in the tank       Tank just after emptying - with black background     Tank with new background on it :     Some of the construction mess:       Half way...

Well it's about time I got this up and running. It's been planned for a few weeks after spotting an amazing tank on an aquascaping website. Most of the plants are reused from my old tank and the wood is redmoor root which gives great shapes. I'm hoping to use the height to give angelfish a...

I have been away for a while it's true! I am currently rescaping the tank and will be back with a new journal!  I had a bit of a planting disaster so it's not looking it's best at the mo!   Onwards and upwards eh?  :)

Is this all sold? :-) I'd be interested if not!

Hi! Thanks for your post. I have a Fluval 405 which has an underwater outflow angled pipe (about mid level on the lefthand side which pushes water out forwards aimed about 45o) and an Eheim 2217 with spray bar (at water level on right hand side pushing from back to front of tank). I also have...

Hiya, I have a heavily planted tank that I think so far has worked due to *luck*... I'd like to understand the few problems I've been having with the plants in it and work out a good but simple way for me to help them out. Lighting is 1 Life-Glo 39W High Output T5 (6,700K) and 1 Power-Glo 39W...

This looks excellent! How far is Blairgowrie from Edinburgh? I was thinking a bit of a rescape of mine...

What sizes are the last two pieces?

Hiya, I'm starting a shrimp tank up and looking for any kinds of moss you might have. Can collect around Edinburgh area or will pay postage! Thanks Anna

My tank is fully planted and I don't dose ferts or co2 (I *have* ferts but just forgot to use them!) java fern won't need them really, if you want to start slow and see how it goes you can always start using the, when you get more comfy with it all. Look at my tank, no added ferts other than...

I got a superfish home 25l tank from my hubby, its going to be a new shrimp tank :-) have already added the litre sponge to my big external instead of cycling the tank individually! Also got some cash so will buy some plants etc for it :-) What sort of Corys you looking for?

Theyll be fine to attach to most hard scape, wood, rocks etc. bolbitus will need attaching to rocks too...

The floating plants are amazon frogbit and the brown plant is a nymphaea Lilly :) thanks guys!

Hi David! Good to see another local fishkeeper! Since you have the same water as I will, I would recommend keeping soft water species of fish, and I'd avoid the dwarf gourami... The honey gourami seem to be much more hardy and much less grumpy than the dwarfs! I have sand in two of my tanks...

What is the pH of your water? It looks very tannin stained in the photo. If its soft and acidic like my water up here in Scotland, it might well be that your livebearers are not liking the water as they prefer it hard and alkaline. If so, you could look into soft water fish like more cories...

Great that you're doing a fishless cycle :-) its always refreshing to see people using the grey matter first! One point I wanted to make was regarding any live plants you use... If you are going to use anti snail treatment, I wouldn't add shrimp or snails for a v long time, as I think it would...

Thanks for the votes guys! Was a close one, some amazing tanks on there!

I voted 11! Lovely tank!

I've got a 320 l tank with loads of wood in it and the pH is 6 too, but the 30l tank I have with loads of new wood in it has gone down to 5-5.5. This is ok for the fish I have but shocked me a little too! Water here is so soft anyway! My test kit is a nutrafin mini master kit.. Seems to read...

Thought I might as well put my more recent tank up here, as this one is still new and would be nice to record how it is going!! I got the tank and stand etc a while back and didn't do much with it except add the filter media to my big tank so that I could instantly start it up with inhabitants...

Well, I have to start by saying I think most of this tank is down to sheer resilience by the plants...as I really don't know what I'm doing! Anyway, here are some pictures of it, and some of the inhabitants. I have some from when I first set it up, up to now . The plants and wood came from my...

I'll have a go...fingers crossed :) Entry Verification

Haha yes, some wee shrimp in there indeed...was supposed to be shrimp only...ooops ;) Yes it was outsideinside aquatics! They had a closing down sale (typical as I had just found a nice new fish shop I thought!) and it was on reserve but he didn't collect so I got it :) I am super happy with...
