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

nope (well i have a handfull in one tank that i got with HC from the swap n shop but i dont think thats what you meant), but i have experience with flourite; it settles faster then it is filtered out. and the stuff cloudy stuff is plant juice (or algae juice, depending on other factors; lol).
why? is the dust from AS completely different from flourite dust?

well, you dont wash AS, so it sits, the dust has to settle itself.

[@marko@]

that could be a big difference (though flourite says not to wash, but people still do it most of the time). or maybe like the time my dad dumped flourite and eco into our 20L without rinsing the flourite. he changed the water 10 times and it still took forever to filter out the rest (he wanted the stuff OUT)

ok, I wanted to do an update, I added lots of nice rocks, but I cant update, lost my camera.

I found a great article about depth in tanks:

I would totally do this, but the muck of AS will get stirred up again, do you think it is worth it, to do the substrate moving? I guess I will wait for maybe 1-2 weeks more to buy plants/plant them, as my supplier of plants, goalcreas, is moving, so, if he has time, I will ask him, if not, I will try and get some at the next SFBAAPS meet. I doubt they will have the plants I will need though, I need plants such as Echinodorus Parvilfrous 'tropica', Echinodorus tenellus, stargrass. I'm not sure if I should get floating plants, what do you guys think? If anything, I would get either Amazon Frogbit or Salvinia minima.

Thanks,

you dont realy need to, as long as you have some slope youll be fine (i actually think that tank in the pic has too much slope).

[fishman9809]

too much slpoe? Oh, that might be the way I took the pic, lol.

[@marko@]

no, no, no. too much slope on the tank here: http://www.aquascapingworld.com/maga...Aquascape.html

its like half the way up the glass

[fishman9809]

oh ok, I thought u were talkin about mine, lol. I wanna post the pics of the tank with rocks, but I cant find the camera.

[@marko@]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
lol

hope you find it soon, i want to see the tank. i want to see it even more with plants, but i have to wait.

[fishman9809]

I wanna see it too, I found the camera, but the batteries are out, all 3 of them, I wonder how that happened. I cant wait for plants, maybe on weekend I will order. I have no homework for like 4 days because of star testing, so lots of time. I cant wait though, I am also getting a fluval 204, used, 25, I think I sed b4, but the seller will ship it out on Monday, probably.
