F's rescaped 4ft

Yeah - did not get all of them - probably for exactly the reason you described @pierreschoonraad ..



Does make for good cover for some plants..










Leaving some room to still grow in ...







No WC - but I did wipe down the outside of the front glass.

Your tank is looking great. Always inspirational.

 

Wow... it is looking stunning...

 

Thanks all ... very pleased with the low touch over the last few weeks ... did add 1 plant - not 100% sure what it is - does not look like hair grass to me, but ja.





It is growing in very fast at the moment ... must be the extra heat - stopped the CO2 bell thing a few weeks back so can not still be that.





For now I like looking at the tank from this angle the most ...



Not that I sit on this side of the tank ;-(

Looks really awesome @f-fish, what is that foreground cover plant? Is it something you have to trim all time to keep it that low or does it grow like that ?

 

@f-fish , that's looking awsome. Now you need to add some african cichlids just to give you a challenge .

 

Thanks guys. yeah love see the tank evolve.

Ranunculus - if memory serves, not trimming it just runs for miles. Weird some tanks it refuses to grow, this tank it loves.

Lol cichlids in a planted tank - lets just say not again.

Ranunculus Inundatus.

 

Stunning @f-fish...

Hahha.. who needs cichlids with a display of guppies like this one!!

 

Thanks @andries , I can not remember if I bought it or got it - or if I ever saw a label for it, do see some anubias shipment recently seems to have landed some.

Thanks @MariaS - and to think if I recall, this was actually only a few individual blues from an outside tank a few years back ... some of them actually have impressively large tail fins.

Funny you say that because I was looking at the tank and thinking the same, together with their bright colors it actually stands out

 

Made some space - thinking of trying a ground cover of sorts here ... not 100% sure what yet.

Just looking at your tank makes me drool and then I have to remind myself about the 10th comandment followed by the 7th. Your tank just looks awesome. I just love the colors of the buce and various leave shapes of the anubias. Can't see why you need a carpet also, you can't have it all.

he he ... thanks @pierreschoonraad - maybe just a small carpet?

Actually a carpet in this tank might be a real challenge, your are right the colour contrast if probably the best feature of this tank - funny also the best buce growth from all my tanks - you start with good stock the rest is simple.

I water has been proper doge lately - so I am dreading doing anything that will need BIG WC's Lets see night is still young.

@f-fish, I tend to agree with Pierre. If you add a ground cover it my be tooo green, I personally like the contrast the substrate adds ... unless that is you find a red colour ground cover

 

hmmm red - k let me contemplate this all a bit more - thanks for the input guys, appreciate the direction.

beautiful tank, think i might have a new tank goal

 

i agree with @Marcel_73 but with "Cichlids, cichlids, cichlids"

 

With Cichlids, you will be growing stalks or floating plants

 

how 100cement correct you are sir!!! @RobK
