That's such a great size tank! I'd make a river manifold and fill it with plants and loaches. So glad it all came together, there was a lot of...
Fascinating thread, I really like how you keep experimenting to get the right feel. What I've noticed in all the scapes you're using as...
Life got in the way and my fish all found new homes :( I'd still love to set up a nice shrimp and moss colony again someday
Rhino board sounds like a great idea, or maybe nutec fibre cement ceiling boards
Great project, I'm definitely following this one! How many layers of cardboard are you going to do, could get cold out there in winter. And what...
Wow that looks awesome! Have you considered skylight tubes for some natural lighting into the tank?
I love the idea, it comes out really classy after the black spray on the outside!
Congrats on the new arrival(s) What sort of evaporation are you expecting from the tank?

I stuffed the first compartment with blue sponge that I bought from an LFS. I just had two loose slices on top of the big sponge, behind the...
The pennywort likes growing out of water as well, so maybe see if it'll root into some sponge in the filter compartment. It'll cover it up quite...
Looking great! Have you been trimming the moss to get it that dense?
Have you considered putting nano fish in the tank to increase the sense of scale? Something like a big school of Microrasbora Kubotai?
Easier and cheaper than test kits is to get a tube of Tetra test strips. You can even cut them in half lenghtways if you want to be more...
Wow that tank's grown-in quickly! That's the ADA one that was scaped at the expo, right?
