36 Degrees - 900x580x450

Time to start thinking about a rescape on the tank - want to leave the front bits .. maybe.

ok that was fun ... still need to do some moving but for now I am happy.



Top views are always cool.



Stuff grows that you never get to see.



Down side of LED strips DIY style ... will always want to be close to the water so this is a view seldom seen.



CO2 was well hidden



It really was a jungle in the tank



Some things just crew well beyond what I expected.



Sponge filter on the intake saved many a fry.



Most of the smaller loose bits removed - that is 1 stump with plants on it.



Leaves a bit of a gap



Time critical .. or stuff could take a big knock.

 

I had an interim scape overnight



did some refinement this morning



Decided to see if the water polisher actually works I I hope it would

Nice as always good idea with the water polisher!

 

Thanks .... yeah it is working rather well,

Not sure how long I want to leave it in the tank... for now I just have very fine dust floating around, rest seems to be well trapped.

Chuffed with the results for the effort.











Now to let it sit.

Damn its just BEAUTIFUL!

 

he he ... must agree, I jut love the leaves colours in this tank, these tanks are the perfect size -- trying to do this on a bigger tank always leave me with having to move my head around when looking at it .. having guppies is just a bonus on the canvas ;-)

I am hopping to not have to do a rescape of this tank for another 6 - 9 months .. lets see.

After the rescape - I noticed that I can now add a bit more red to the buch, wonder if it will colour-up a bit more ;-)

Photo Log might follow.

Finally found a glass thermometry that would with the 10 mm glass with some to spare.



Actually nice and deep, probably 30% into the water column.

Later Ferdie

 

Yes, that's the one. Beautiful plant

 

Some random pics as an update.

Simply awesome man!

 

Thanks AK ..

This week I tuned down the fertz a bit and only did some KNO3


Early days but I think is see good colouring again.









I am starting to see some of the non-waterproof LED mounts loosing LED's clusters - but still pleased with these as a light source.
