400L planted tank started April 2009

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L very inspiring indeed

 

Absolutely beautiful ... brilliant job done ... like the plant on the floor of the tank.

STUNNING! this is what i want to do with my 500L tank.
WELL DONE.

Very nice Gus! Looks like the reds are even redder than before!! Awesome!

 

yeh but I think that it's time to replant the gloss.

 

Looks awesome

 

Uh oh... That's gonna mean ripping it all out again... I guess I know what you're doing on the weekend.

 

replanting 3 weekends in a row.
the wife is going to kill me

 

I got a very nice package from Singapore....
I ripped out the gloss and replanted it to make space.

Lets see how these new babies grow.

 

Hi Fanie

I got some nice plants to play with.
Great news on the solenoids.I found out where to get the pipe adaptors for those solenoids.
Shout if you need any.

 

okay, went there and got a list of their regulars, told the guy we are on a forum, dicussing lps stocks and i want a list of what they usually get in he quickly scrawled down the names verbatim:
(if something's on the blacklist, so be it, i'm not gonna go cross referencing everything first now, sorry)

Hi Tiggabean (who I assume is aka Algae Wizard??)

Could I ask you one or two questions.... I'm trying to setup my 3rd 3ft tank as a proper planted tank (i.e like your tank).

1) I've order dual 36w 6400K Sylvania T5's from dolphin, do you think this would be sufficent light for the tank?

2) To get the kinda growth you're achieving would I have to add C02?

3) My biggest goal is to get a mat of green (which should look like a grass) to cover my substrate, could you suggest a species for this and do I just plant it and let it spread on its own?

sorry for the bombarment but your tank has inspired me!
