CL's ADA 30-C II- Flooded Forest update 11-14

Wow that UG filled in nicely. I wish mine would grow like that

**demosthenes** · 04-25-2009, 02:32 PM

yeah, the UG is looking great!

i really like the new look, your blyxa look great! but, it looks too divided into thirds.. like, there is a clearly defined bottom area with UG, a clearly defined middle area with nanas, and a clearly defined upper area with blyxa. I think if you changed up the lateral dividing lines between these areas so they looked a little bit more natural, it would add a lot of depth. man i'm terrible at articulating... but hopefully you sort of understood what i just said.

don't get me wrong though, the tank looks great - a helluvalot better than any of mine - i'm just making suggestions

oh, and also, you said you wanted more of a hardscape next time you rescape at all... i actually kind of like the rocks in the center, you can clearly see them, but they have blyxa growing over them and all... idk, i think the current hardscape is pretty cool! maybe shift it more away from the middle so the tank isn't as perfectly balanced, but anyway, i think the hardscape is pretty solid.

I really like the anubis CL it's reminiscent of my old setup.

Yeah, I'm kinda going for the forest edge look. Once the ug fills in I will probably change it out for something else. I will also be shaping up my petite so that there is a nice round edge to the stand of petite. The blyxa needs to be trimmed so that I will have a better shaped mound to it, right now you can't see the blyxa in the back left

Here you can see the spraybar that I made. It goes along two sides of the aquarium, and seems to work great!

Haha that's cool.
