a bit of an update on my tank low low tech! about one and a half wpg and tropica master grow wheni rember/have it!!!

in the begining




and now

 

[geezer]

wow that looks fantastic! How much time has passed between the first photo and the now photo? Also, what substrate do you use? Are you using Co2 or carbon? Have you used any other ferts other than the tmg? What is the carpet on the bottom cause that is what i am trying to get!

 

[Chris_Wood]

Nice, very nice!

probably about six months my be a bit less! the substrate is 50/50 quartzite flourite the carpet is java moss on pieces of slate. i don't use co2 or other carbon products and no other ferts other than the tmg.

new pics after a bit of a change round. sorry about the quality!

what do you think?

any criticism greatfully recieved!





right hand side

Great tank, liked the first one, second one is good also but i think the right side would be nice with some kind of plant that stands out alot or something. Black background would make it even nicer too but it still looks really good.

That is some good growth for 6 months. Did you do any pruning in the 6 months, or did you just leave things be?

yeah loads that honeywort (or what ever it is i'm so bad with plant names!) grows like crazy im for ever topping it and replanting and remover the really leggy pieces!

i agree with the black background but i'd have to compleatly strip the tank to fit one! still may do it one day!!

I'd personally add a black background, and get a nice healthy amazon sword and put it on the right, and move the inlet of the filter further back (if possible).
Still, it's looking very nice.

the tank is sort of set in the wall and the only place that the filter can go is on the right hand side. i'll try swopping the inlet and outlet round that may look better. you must have read my mind on the sword thing!
i think it would take about 4hours or more to strip the tank down compleatly, remove the substrate, get the tank out of the wall, fit the black background and then set it all up again! maybe when i have some time. i've been kicking my self that ididn't do it the last time it was stripped!

Looks great.
tmg??

tropica master grow

What size tank is that and what is your wpg, and type of lights? It looks awsome for a low light tank!

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

I liked it the first way you had it not the then pic but the "and now" pics. even though it still looks amazing!
