hi everybody,

here is new tank , 60*30*36 , 65L hope you like it :happy:

for the specs , eheim 2213 , pressurized co2 1b/2s non stop , lights 3*18W (a bit more than usual due to the hardscape) , ferts step1 , brightyK , special light .

zeneo · 05-06-2009, 04:51 PM

Realy nice, love it

Why do you say that 3x18watt is more than usual? Can you keep a carpet of glosso with less than that? How?

usually i use a 0.6W/L ratio in my tanks ( 2*18W in my 65L tanks) , no problems whatsoever so keep difficult plants , for the stem plants (rotalas) and the foreground plants as well (glosso , eleocharis parvula , lilaeopsis carpets went very well with this ratio).

Beautiful, those woods are awesome..

nico · 05-07-2009, 12:02 PM

and a few more detailed shots

hope you like it.

Wow just amazing.. what camera are you using? pics look great.

tirtha1979 · 05-11-2009, 07:19 AM

Amazing tank. Will love to see some pictures of Initial setups.

nico · 05-11-2009, 11:09 AM

thank you for your comments

Skyfish , i use a compact camera , it is not so good except for the definition , i hope i will be able to get a reflex soon .

Tirtha1979 , here is a picture of the hardscape at the set up ,it was quite heavy , i was counting on the plantation to soften it especially the moss to mage a transition between wood and stones and the light stem plant part to create a more aerian feeling.

and what should be the final picture of this tank

Garuf · 05-11-2009, 01:45 PM

Wow, it's comforting to know that from what to me was an "iffy" hardscape came this gem. Well done.

tirtha1979 · 05-11-2009, 01:51 PM

Thats an amazing and mind blowing transformation.

bgangler · 05-11-2009, 03:39 PM

Lovely scape, Nico!
It needs a lot of imagination to create this scape. Probably if I have seen the hardscape, before the final scape, I would not find it attractive at all! But now is looking amazing!

Lovely ambiance and layout - well done.
If you would permit me - what is the "ground cover you are using - is it Glossostigma elatinoides?

Looks fantastic Niko. I remember when you started this layout-- looks terrific my friend. By the way, I'm planning to go to Nature Aquarium Party this October-- maybe I'll see you there?
