i've been looking at glasscages.com but i agree with previous posts. hat does look like a well made tank

When I traded emails with LeeMar last year looking for a quote, the furthest East dealer they had at the time was Aqua Touch in Arizona 602-765-9058.

Thus far, that's the plan. I might add some mini pellia or something, but moss/Liverworts will infest hair grass something awful, then you'll NEVER get rid of it.

I have Petite Anubias and Buce's, there are a few other plants that would do well.

With hair grass, this grass came out of a small mini L ADA tank local club member's, and ended up filling out fairly well this tank's scape, I'd prefer about 3x this density though, but good clean healthy grass is well worth it.

Some folks suggested a E, hydropiper farm, but I do not have enough yet.....to change this tank and this tank is less an experimental plant species tank as it is a long term set and leave it be tank.

Maybe later I'll do a nice E hydropiper planting.

Wood is settling in well, grass has just started to grow in some spots.

Looking good. I can't wait to see it fill in.

Most foreground type plants take 2-3 weeks to really get their root systems going, then it's just a matter time. There's no algae yet, so that's good.

I'll need to use the Stainless steel screen for the overflow, the Amano's always end up in the prefilter.

It's looking good Tom. I look forward to seing it grown in. Do you still plan on adding Buce or Moss/Pellia? Have you grown Nymphaea micrantha?

Not sure yet.............waiting for the grass to grow in.

Awesome tank. Would you mind a quick equipment list? Tank dimensions?

How does leemar stack up to Ada in person?

[ikuzo]

i think the great thing about this scape are the grass between the hardscape
looks so natural from three sides

shouldn't add anything that will ruin the hardscape look

[aquatic serenity]

You really like those HOB overflow boxes...I see them in some of your setups...Ever have one fail on you or even worry about it ???

I'll probably be contacting you for some in the next 3-4 months... I'm getting tired of how the rocks in my 'Ebiwagumi' jack up the water hardness.

Equipment, CPR wet/dry filter, CO2 fed into return pump, ATI light, ADA like stand but better..............Leemar is much better made than the ADA 120 cm tank. Has PVC bottom added to glass that acts like a mat, this is a no brainer for rimless tanks. Seam work and edge is good, the thickness of the glass is thicker.

Cost wise, for the samller tanks, like the 120pm and the 90 and certainly the smaller tanks, ADA tanks are good deal, but you get what you pay for, this tank is like 900-1000$.
