I love the way the tank looks.. Everything about it , personally i think its the nicest tank ive seen yet on TASA or any other website for that matter.. Keep up the good work!!
thanks dude, thats a huge compliment for me.. Yep zoom.. I never expected it either.. Im pretty chuffed abt it i must say
That looks really good Richard, did't think they flowered underwater though. I say go totally dutch with this tank now.
i actually want to try a huge iwagumi.. Like i said, have to wait for my 3ft so i can store all these plants that i love so much!! hehe..
hasn changed much since the last pic.. Plants overgrown though so have to do some maintenance.. My blue and red mass is back though
anubias was taking up too much space (20% floor space) so it had to go.. so out the tank and in the pond it went
Cor blimey! Nooo.... not in the pond, post em to me!!! LOL! hee, hee, truth is they wouldn't even get INTO my lil tanks!!!!
those are soem huge anubias. i dont find mine slow growers either to be honest hehe. i hope you entering the aquascaping competition for next year, your scapes are amazing dude!
hi..realy awsome tank ..and like your post and threads. im new to the aquarium hobby .wanted to know if you can advice on where do i get some realy cool water plants on the jhb area? thanks
thanks moe101. pm sent. im sure you guys have noticed that i havnt been active much recently.. its due to some tragedy with my tank.... i used some human de-wormer to get rid of the snails a few weeks back.. this worked GREAT.. BUT... the ammonia from the mass death of the snails killed off 70% of my fish..in turn, this excess amonia and organics in the tank also lead to all sorts of problems including an algae out break.. in this tank, im now plagued with hair algae, staghorn, gsa and BBA.. ALL AT ONCE.. i'll take a pic tonight to show u guys the devastation im faced with.. i totally got discouraged for a week or 2 and i stopped dosing ferts for about week but after doing reasearch, i should keep my ferts up so that my plants can recover quicker thus taking over from the algae. also doing 2xWC weekly now as well.. interesting enough, tom barr suggests that nitrates and phosphates arent causes of algae but an im ballance of ferts, lights and co2 are the main causes of algae.. one of the biggest factors being co2. another guy on toms forum also commented that he notices hair algae growth when his nitrates are low.. hmm interesting. so im going to keep up with the fert reigeme, up my co2 just a little and carry on with the WC. lets see how this turns out. fingers crossed, it'll be over sooner than i think...but for now its really bad ;(..........
Human dewormer to get rid of snails? Sounds interesting, care to elaborate? Because I'd consider taking my fish out of my tank for a while to get rid of the snails
De wormer is safe for fish though.. What I'd do(from my lesson learnt) is to get rid of as much snails manually first, then add the meds.. Then the ammonia spike wont be as hectic.. Having millions of snails die in ur tank, even though ur fish arent in there, is bad for ur tank too.. What Ive learnt is too much organics in the tank is bad.
