"Der Ewige Kreis" - "The Eternal Circle" - To be Torn Down

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 01:12 AM

yea, I made a hardscape, filled up the tank, and the hardscape is gone, everything got messed up with the water. the plants will most likely be at my house on the weekend (next weekend). I will update pics on the hardscape, give me like 15 mins, just got back from watching Ironman, best movie from Marvel, EVER

**@marko@** · 05-04-2008, 01:24 AM

it was good? DAMN IT!!! a friend and i were at the movies yesterday and couldnt decide what to watch, it was ironman or forbiden kingdom. forbiden kingdom, sucked. a lot. i could probably direct it so the fighting looked more realistic (some of the blows didnt even connect, yet the person flew back 50 or so feet)

yeah, if you dont fill VERY slow from low down, that tends to happen. everything needs to be slow in a tank. only bad things happen fast in an ecosystem.

pics:

not so good hardscape, but good enough:

**@marko@** · 05-04-2008, 01:30 AM

not so good!!!
are you kidding, i love it. classic is classic and its always good. you dont have to be original in the hardscape, it often looks much better if you use a classic hardscape, and then pour all you inginuity and creativity and personality into the plants and their arrangment.

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 01:33 AM

the water is sooooooooo cloudy

**@marko@** · 05-04-2008, 01:38 AM

not really, try filling a tank with unrinsed flourite as the substrate; now THATS cloudy.

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 01:42 AM

wat do u mean not really? In the pics there is no water, I didnt post pics of water.

**@marko@** · 05-04-2008, 01:43 AM

oh, well then thats dirty glass. LOL

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 02:01 AM

yea, it was outside for 3 days, so thats to expect, I'll clean it tomorrow.

goalcreas · 05-04-2008, 05:48 AM

Looking good.
I would suggest to slope the substrate higher in the back and lower in the front for a better sense of depth, and go higher on the left and right and lower in the middle, but go higher on one side then the other.

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 05:50 AM

ok, will do tomorrow when the cloudiness clears, or tonight, depending on how clear it gets.

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 09:41 PM

i rescaped it, I suck at taking pics, but here it is:

i am about the worst photographer, but here, I like this better.

**@marko@** · 05-04-2008, 10:20 PM

its not much of a change, i can hardly notice it; both are fine. my reccomendation is to fill with water, then let it stay (with the filter off) and it should settle in under 24 hours.

**epicfish** · 05-04-2008, 10:22 PM

Nice scape.

@marko@: Have you used ADA AS before?

**fishman9809** · 05-04-2008, 10:26 PM

yea, more than 24 hrs. Even I know that, now. lol
