The Hemianthus has really grown and you have a beautiful shape going on the "Rotala species" in the back. Very rounded. I like it.

well there has been a change since i last posted. my riccia dided due to an accidental overdose of easy carbo

any how, ive added some moss from my big tank.... as you can see

its got to grow in a bit but it looks better than the riccia i reckon.

thanks ljdma06 for the comments

 

[goin_all_out]

wow what a scape, looks a little different then everyone else. unique is always my favorite.

 

[Mr Bliss]

I agree that the moss looks better than the Riccia. It brings a nice contrast to the aquascape. The whole thing looks absolutely fantastic.

 

[ChilliPepper]

Wow - beautiful tank

 

[SuperColey1]

Love the 'mushroom Plateau' in there. looks cool.

That Lily pipe is massive in that tank. lol.

as some of you may allready know, ive ripped this tank apart and started a new scape. i was a tough decision but it was the best thing for me to do if i plan on getting any better at aquascaping.

i think i'll just carry on with this thread and show you how things are going with the new set up.

the tank being took apart...

then the re scape....

with the new hardscape layout.....

adding the plants....

tank directly after planting...14th october 08

this is 1 week later with 8 red eye tetras added. the filter is the same filter as before so no cycle to go through, thankfully....

comments allways welcome, good or bad preferably less bad

I love the wood. It gives nicely to structure for scaping.

 

[saintly]

thanks shadowmeld, yes its a great peice of wood. its been sitting in the back garden for months, and was nice to get a chance to use it eventualy.

heres some fishy pics...

 

[goin_all_out]

looks nice, any plans on a foreground plant? personally i think that not every tank needs a foreground lol

 

[saintly]

i dont think it needs a forground plant.

ive recently added 4 ottos and a SAE. the old crypt leafs are all but gone now.
