2590L (700G) AquaGarden Planted Pond

ragn4rok · 02-11-2007, 12:20 PM

This is my previous AquaGarden

Dimension : 175 x 185 x 100 (cm)
Filter : OverFlow
CO2 : none
Substrate : 500kg silica + 15 x JBL AquaBasis Plus
fertilizer : none

Plants :
many species

Fish :
many species

Man.. Jeffrey...you forgot to mention these :

Lighting : none (sunlight with 70% shade net)
WC : continous system at ...... rate (you fill it)

Always mention it...

and be proud of naturalist system that works like magic! (at least he got no bills for lamp, CO2 and liquid ferts)

The pond is getting ever cramped despite all your efforts of taking out some and culture them emmersed and selling some specimens.
That is why I should plan to come over some time and steal several of your collection for my next planted pond

Nice man! That reminds me when I grew up in Jakarta. So many fish/plants, and so cheap too. How's the flooding down there? Are you guys affected?

ragn4rok · 02-13-2007, 05:45 AM

Luckily, it's seem much better now. Me (live in Bandung) and my friend (medicineman) luckily are not affected with that scary disasters.

Cool, Ragn4rok! Is that a big aquarium you have set up outside? Beautiful plants! How do you keep green water from setting in? And other algaes.

TheOtherGeoff · 04-09-2007, 12:16 AM

umm...awesome.

garuf · 07-31-2007, 11:46 PM

im so jelous you have no idea

Haeun · 08-01-2007, 12:00 AM

I'm impressed that you don't dose fertilizers, you don't add CO2, and you only have sunlight and the plants look so healthy!

yellowshrimp · 08-01-2007, 12:43 AM

Very very nice!

Millions of years of evolution didn't prep plants for 6700k powercompact lighting!

Pond looks good, can't help but want to see pictures of any fish you have in there though!

ikuzo · 08-01-2007, 03:22 AM

if i may, it's a pond with glass on 1 side. with constant water flow means it's simulating a river, so adding CO2 is not necessary and dosing ferts means heavy cost. sunlight is the best source of lighting IMO

Jeff, i never thought that you have 70% of shade net there. i thought it was only like 30-50%. worth to try since i never had success growing anything without algae with sunlight.

Haeun · 08-01-2007, 03:26 AM

Oh! I didn't realize there was glass on only one side. I always imagined sunlight yielding more trouble with algae.

Raimeiken · 04-30-2008, 06:19 PM

amazing that there's no algae in that. I use to have a pond way back, and it always developed green algae in it
