Hennies rescaped 3 foot

Thanks @JJFury I would like the tank to grow in some more, before I enter. Hoping it will look a bit more bushy....

And thanks to all the other compliments, much appreciated.

 

Thats it! No more... Becuase of you i am gonna set up my tank. Today....

Your tank looks epic stunning

 

Thanks and good luck....post a thread on it so we can see @Kieshara

 

I will..

 

Almost 3 months old

Some new pics on my 3 foot, grown in nicely, and proud to say its algae free, could it be the awesome twin star?

 

Tank is looking really good.

 

WOW... Looks so awesome! And only 3 months old? Wow! I suppose it's hard to hide a heater in a 3ft tank... Maybe a little to the left or right will clear the arch the one's eye is drawn to? Just a layman's opinion

 

you really have the touch.gt a feeling your garden doesnt look half bad either.just amazing

 

Thanks guys....I really do enjoy spending time with this tank, it just seems to be getting better. @Broder I actually just bought a new heater, as the current one was battling keeping up in jhb winter, will replace and move to right out of sight.

Also thinking of adding another tube, as I'm only running 3 x 39w t5s, just scared it will add algae, perhaps I'll just give it a trial run.

 

Do you have reflectors above your lamps? Makes a huge difference if you don't. I just stick mirror PVC into the canopy, and it blings!

 

Wow!!! awesome...pls post some more pics for us to drool over!:tongue:

 

@Broder yes it is an odysea unit, standard with good reflectors.

 

This is a really great looking tank! Well done on the patience!!!!

 

Thanks @Sash suppose the most frustrating part, was getting the right wood for the scape. The growing in part was rather easy, allot of slow growers, but easy maintenence, unlike an HC carpet, or a total Hair grass carpet.

A couple of areas that im not to happy, on the right piece of wood, I have no moss on the complete right hand side, so there is a patch there that I need to fill. Then the left piece have creeping moss, and the right piece spiky moss, I might change both sides to creeping.

Then infront left, the styrogene repens is growing in slowly, as the moss is blocking some light, might just give it a good trim, if that grows in, and the moss part on the right, I should be entirely happy.

Oh and when there is ottos again, so if anyone find some ottos, give me a shout.

Cheers

 

Its really looking great buddy! I hope you keep that attention to detail and everything of the best. Please do keep the pics coming. Im a fan of scaped tanks!

 

long overdue update

So im on leave, and a friend of mine went to go feed my fish today and check up on things. Thought ill post the pic she send me.

The snail is an ellephant snail, ive never kept or seen them before, got them from an lfs. They are really cool

 

Nice friend you have - keeping you in the loop with such a interesting picture ... or is this her idea of a proof of life?

Later Ferdie

 

I was worried about them as i only recently got them. So when i left i didnt know if they will make it, so yes this was for proof of life @f-fish

 

Your tank looks awesome!!
I dont suppose you could add some more pics?

 

@aqua dude for now in in durbs, so unfortunately not. Will send some on the 3rd.
