Good night everyone, I'm new on this forum and I want to present you my 18l versions (I'm only 14 years old and half, and french, so my english can have some errors ....).
Tank: rena 20l light 39Lx19wx24h cm
Filter: External filter eden 501 300l/h
Substrate: ADA aquasoil amazonia II
Ferilization: GHE bio essential and "DIY" CO2 (sugar, water ....)
Lighting: 2x7w 6700°k aquazonic (latter, I will use DIY leds lighting system).
Inhabitants: neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis var. white
My first version:

My second (I didn't finish ...):

My third (some weeks ago)(I will to take away the gravel):

Welcome. I love the first one best. Very lush growth - good aquascapes only result when one knows how to grow plants well and you seem to be doing fine on that front. Looking forward to more.

soit le bienvenue !!
the first tank is very nice . perhaps you can prune the eleocharis , like that we can see a little more the rocks.

la langue de shakespear c'est pas toujours evident, mais au moins cela a le merite de nous faire bosser un peu. je trouve ton premier aqua vraiment bien (iwugami style) les autres ont l' air bien partis donc des que possible mets d'autres photos.
bravo

Thank you/merci

There isn't eleocharis but Utricularia graminifolia.
For my last version, I will put white fine sand.
I'm making a DIY ADA style stand (I will buy the wood today)

News photos latter...

seniordavid · 11-21-2009, 06:48 AM

sorry i wrote eleocharis and i would wrote lilaleopsis in the two case i was wrong .
more better with the utricularia 'cause it's not a easy plant. encore bravo

I love your 1st tank, It's quite impressive (looks like the sun rising, ...and peace feeling)

(the 2nd seem be not often cared and the 3th one is quite poor)

Hey nice scapes. You got a good sense of placement.

Have you read the article about making your own ADA cabinet?
