That's gorgeous Wayne ! :good:

It's not that easy to see, but is that some "dome shaped" light unit above the tank ?
How long has this tank been up and running now ?
What are your water parameters ? (pH, gH & kH ?) - do you use RO water or tap ?
How does your CO2 feed into the water ? (directly into the filter or with a diffuser?)
Are you using the Eheim spray bar ? If so, where is this located ?

Some more photos would be great too - especially some of the Neocardina sp. if you have ;)

Edit: oh and :hi: to TFF !
 
Some details of your maintanace and fertilizer's would be good, them maybe we could get an idea of how much work it takes to get such a healthy looking aquascape.

Nice job :drool:
 
Awesome Wayne :good:

How do you go about planning a design like this? And how long does it take for the tank to get to this stage?
 
Thanks folks!!

Bloo: The "dome shaped" light is the softbox. It's not for the plants. It's only for take the photograph!! This tank has been setup around nine month. PH is between 6.5- 7.0. I never measure the gH & kH value. So, i haven't those figures.

Dubby: Before taking action, i will think what's subject of the layout and how to present the whole view!!
 
Awesome tank, Wayne. I also would like to see some more specs on this set-up, please. I have a 125Gal planted discus tank that wants very much to look like yours. Award-winning job.

:lol: That's very interesting Wayne - so you have no idea then what your CO2 levels are ?
:blush: should have thought about it more and guessed that dome shape is for photography !

So when you have some time, more photos please :hey:
 
Arr man I give up on this planted tank malarky, that tank knocks the socks of anything and everything I could possilby hope for, and the pictures are absolute class.

Welcome to the forum Wayne and thanks for sharing, even if it does make me very very jealous!

EDIT - is it just me or does the second photo down make anyone else feel like they are swimming through a river or something? Its a qualitiy angle and the plants and fish really set it off, like a snap shot of real life.

Check out Waynes website! It may be easier just to stick a picture of 1 of their tanks on the front of mine.
