I think its working, kinda cool little piece of software!

**fshfanatic** · 08-19-2006, 12:55 AM

Nice........

**bigstick120** · 09-10-2006, 08:47 PM

A few changes, took out a few stems of l. Aramatica, and slide the narrow leaf stellatus to the right a little and put some rotala mac. green in the back right corner. Thined out the downoi, Cyperus helferi, and thats about it. Picked up a few bee shrimp a few weeks ago at my LFS.

Also my Eriocaulon cinereum has been flowering/gone to seed for at least 2 months, I was hoping that I would have many more plants soon but that dosent seem to be the case, any info or insight into this plant, anything that I need to do?

And a crappy photo of the bee shrimp

That plant looks like a sea urchin - or maybe some sort of weird alien! Very cool! I love your layout. I think your HC must have taken off. Once it gets going HC isn't as slow as you think.

The downoi almost look like a row of veggies ready to be picked.

It is really great that your LFS actually carries shrimp. I'd love to see some of those around here.

That is a very nice tank layout.I like the choice of plant species used. They really compliment one another. At the same time,i feel that you have done a great job with regards to the bee shrimp photography. If only i could have nice closeup shots like yours.

**bigstick120** · 09-12-2006, 04:57 AM

Thanks alot! I appericate the complements!

the_noobinator · 09-18-2006, 07:19 PM

**A Hill** · 09-18-2006, 07:39 PM

Update! Few changes not many though, more Rotala Mac. Green in the left corner, got a new camera so I have been taking a few photos. Canon Rebel XTi, still have lots to learn about shooting with a 'real' camera but its coming along slowly. I need a macro lens but make due with the standard lens for now

Playing with my new toy

Picked these guys up today! I got 6, I have bees in this tank as well so we'll see how that works out. These were a STEAL so I couldn't pass them up! I was holding the bag so I got some camera shake.

xcooperx · 11-12-2006, 04:14 AM

wow another great pic big stick, how much you bought those shrimp? is that your rhinox at the middle back of the tank??
