2ft tank in gallery
hey folks,
went teo's with liuhao yesterday and got some glosso and after that went shopping on my own. specs are as follows Aquarium setup 1. Tank dimensions:2x1x1 2. Lighting: 4x15watt FL 10hr photoperiod 3. Filtration: Internall canister 4. Extra equipments: DIY Co2 inlined to power head 5. Base fertiliser: Cocopeat 6. Gravel: Black gravel Fauna 1. most probably Algae eaters and and ghost shrimps Flora 1. glossostigma Routine 1. water change 10% everyweek 2. using Lushgro series of fertilisers after water change 3.lighting period broken into 2 periods of 5 hours Gallery the correct link as it is obviously non-original piece of work and that my (only) glosso is just planted, i invite only comments pertaining to the positioning/style of of the rocks as well as the sloping of the gravel. Please do not, i implore of you, attach my pic from the gallery onto this thread. cheers P.s. its day one so there aint no fishes Last edited by gregorsamsa; 27-12-2004 at 09:32 PM.

Think you setup is too uniform, lacks difference in height. Planning to add more plants later? Some taller plants should make the setup look nicer. Cheers, Lawrance |

the lack of height difference/contouring, is partly my fault. when i lowerd the water for the planting and addition of (black) gravel, i couldn't "see" the difference or least percieve it. there is slight sloping from front to plant but you/I can't see it because the glosso is further distorting it. As for further planting, this setup was actually inspired by another forumite in AQ, Aeon (work:faraway mountain's), as well as "hill Rug Act in Nature Aquarium book 3. In Aeon's setup, only glosso and rocks were used. personally i did not add other plants because i'm still on DIY plus stem requires (much more) maintenance, and also because there is going to be furniture reshuffle at home. With glosso rock only combi, i can just lower the water level and shift without replanting. Lawrence, rest assured once the glosso sets in, i will revamp this tank with glosso as foreground. But that would have to wait 2-3 months? thanks for your comments, will update this thread once the glosso does set in and anyother changes. cheers and happy planting |

If that's the case, maybe you can shift the gravel to create a slope of some sort so that it will not look so uniform. Looking forward to seeing the tank in a few months time when everything has grown in. Cheers, Lawrance |

Is it this? Simple setup but perhaps you should try to make a moss wall |
