I demandeth pics of yours!

Kayen · 05-10-2009, 04:35 AM

More pics of friends:

I want to get this moved over to the nano section is it possible? Or would i need awhole new thread?

Still no pics of mine.

Those stones are too small for an iwagumi scape they are disproportion for the tank dimensions of the tank. Stones should reach at least half of the height of the tank but the taller the better.Here are some examples from the ADA gallery notice how big the stones are.

Those stones will be covered up by the HC and not noticeable. For such a small tank i would have just bought 10 pots of HC and be done with it. On my Iwagumi I went ahead and bought tons of glosso no need to wait 2-3 months to fill up a tank. Just my opinion

Kayen · 05-12-2009, 04:29 AM

Working on getting more, bigger rocks, as for HC it's a rare commidity around these parts up until recently, i grew this from my own stock from a year ago, which i killed off most of, but yeah =/ .
I'm hitting up a rock yard soon to get some bigger rocks to use, and/or maybe the local BigAls to see if they have any nice rocks in.

Also there's anubias nana in mine, as well as some glosso, some downoi goes in once it's filled up.

EDIT: TANK 3 = PICTURES:

I have to say this is a surprise. Very nice.

Kayen · 06-03-2009, 04:32 AM

Heh no update as of now.
The $200 i had in my wallet to buy new lights, stand, etc etc got stolen,
So another set back to this tank of mine.

No updates from either friend.
It's exam season so i doubt we'll see anything from any of us three.
Also the guy with the tree tank is going to the philippines during summer so yeah.

As for hardscape i decided to leave my as is.
The HC is going to swallow it all up anyways - if that doesn't the anubias, stray moss & riccia might get to it.
Or the downoi, or the glosso, or the DHG.

**epicfish** · 06-03-2009, 05:11 AM

Sucks to hear about the $200.

At least the plants are growing in.

Haagenize · 06-03-2009, 06:30 PM

Thanks for the $200

You and I both have excuses to not fill the tank, I've been having trouble with getting the right light for a month now, stupid OTT-Lite can't tell the difference between different lamps

Francis Xavier · 06-03-2009, 11:23 PM

lol of all your friends you're the only one who hasn't filled it yet? classic.

At not a super speed, the lights aren't that strong.

It's just a little label, i don't see why you're getting into a huge fuss, but yep, reasons reasons. I need to get a stand so i can get that 2234 hooked up for this tank (turns out the 2232 i purchased ended up being a 2234).
I just got a 12oz Paintball CO2 cylinder, just need to find a friggen adapter, cause i have a milwaukee regulator....

Procastination ftw.
Well really setbacks haha, i have all the live stock & more plants ready sitting in QT tanks and are doing okay, just waiting to get sent into the tank.

Kayen · 06-05-2009, 03:06 AM

Aight so my friend just gave me an update, he got some HC in there, he wants more light on it.

CL · 06-05-2009, 03:18 AM

Sweet pennywort. I think that the tank would look a lot better without the zebra rock in there. IMO

Kayen · 06-05-2009, 03:24 AM

lol i'll tell him that.
An update from me:

Where the tank is lcoated alongside the 2 q tanks.
Here's the 2.5g:

Here's the rimless:

A sorta above view to get a view of how the carpet is at:

Also some springtime blooms:
