Yoshi's 8L Frameless Cube

Wanted to share this photo... I didn't have my tripod with me so it's not the "clearest," but it's still nice!

territhemayor · 10-03-2007, 02:57 PM

I really like the tank, how do you keep the water level at the perfect level to have it like completely rimless top?

**screename** · 10-03-2007, 07:53 PM

^^^ fill it up before you take the picture.

Yoshi · 10-03-2007, 11:18 PM

Yea, I just filled it up to the top for the photo. Otherwise, the water level sits about 5mm to 10mm from the top.

Finally switched out my first bottle of No.1. Amazonian CO2 canister today...!

For reference... my tank didn't "smell better" when the canister was running low, I couldn't smell anything from the tank. The canister has a fragrance to it though.

I'm running my CO2 setup at 1 bubble every 4-5 seconds, the canister lasted about ~5 months at this rate.

BTW, the tank looks completely different now. I rescaped it during September, and haven't had time to take new pictures of the tank. In a week or two I'll try to snap a few pics when I have the time to clean the tank. Stay tuned!

Oooh rescape. So excited :-D.

OregonFish · 10-14-2007, 11:38 PM

Wow thats one great looking nano! Great Work!

Kayen · 10-14-2007, 11:59 PM

Nice tank!
This has inspired me for my next and 1st rescape..when i have money!
very neat presentation as well

j_m_lizard · 10-17-2007, 06:00 AM

Beautiful nano. I love the minimalist aquascaping... it's what I'm going for in my new setup too... but it would be hard to match this beaut.

Also, your photography blows my mind. For instance - that 3/4 fts with it full to the brim... pure win.

Keep doing whatever you're doing, 'cuase you're doing it right.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

So... I'm sad to say, but the old aquascape was torn down on 9/1/07. The new aquascape is more Iwagumi inspired and makes more use of "hills and slopes." This aquascape is still young (only 7 weeks old) so it still requires some more time to mature.

The flora in this aquascape is Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC) and Utricularia graminifolia (UG). The UG I found was hard to plant, and I'm really hoping that it will fill in more compact and uniform in a month or so. It's kind of sparse right now. I've been keeping algae at bay with Excel and keeping my CO2 high (my drop checker is getting cleaned so it's not in the pic). Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the new scape.

Looks good!

On a side note the small rock in the middle may look better gone, but it may not, you can always check

Keep the updates coming!

sandiegoryu · 10-18-2007, 12:55 AM

^You don't seem to like small rocks do you? :-P. joking I am.

I like this scape too. Can't really tell which one is better.

Can't wait to see it develop!

j_m_lizard · 10-18-2007, 04:17 AM

They say change is good... any whoever "they" are, they're right. This kicks ass.

Nevertheless, I agree with Fish Newb, in thinking that the little rock in the center could go. It's your choice - just a suggestion from a total n00b.

I kind of like it there, but I'll see how it looks w/o it during my next water change. I think a better alternative is to keep it, but "move it over" so that it's not smack in the middle.

The rocks bring out the character

Wow if the scape was a little more in focus, this is an incredible picture!

I'm very impressed!
