I'm new here and must say WOW!!! It isn't my favorite scaping but definetly captures my eye. I am completly new to planted aquariums and I've learn some stuff from this thread. Hope to see pics of your stand, and your HC carpet.

@marko@ · 02-20-2008, 12:31 PM

yeah im hoping to see pics too, for the past week or so (come on, how can there not be enough growth, at three watts a gallon the stem plants are trimmed every other week in my tank; and if i remember right you have more light then that)

Hey it's no big deal, my 150w Metal Halide fixture came yesterday but had a defective hanging kit. the new one will be here tomorrow morning and I'll stay up late and crunch through some photos to get you guys the long awaited update tomorrow night. You guys won't be dissapointed, the tank is looking good!! IMO of course.. lol

I hope this update will change your mind on the scape, it looks 100% nicer now that its's filling in, along with the semi-rescape.

this is the list of stems I added to the back left corner

Rotala Colorata, Ludwiga Brevipes, a lot of Didiplis Diandra, Limnophila mini, Ludwiga Glandulosa, Pogosteman Yatabeanus, rotala indica, and some cyperus helferi.

BTW: I will make sure that the next update is EXTREMELY PICTURE INTENSIVE as to not let anyone down. There will be a lot of pictures of EVERYTHING. Expect upwards of 20photos, also expect photos from the beginning to show the progress!

Then in about two weeks I'll do the same thing to show the affects of 4wpg of Metal Halide!!!

Still no pics? You sure know how to build suspense.

@marko@ · 02-22-2008, 10:36 PM

yay we get pics soon

CmLaracy · 02-22-2008, 10:57 PM

Here ya go! My camera and photo taking abilities are both equally terrible, and don't mind my hideous wallpaper...

also, right now I have a 13000K bulb in my Metal Halide so it doesnt look right...

It's still got some growing in to do, and I really need someone with a nice camera to come over and take some pictures for me!

@marko@ · 02-22-2008, 11:00 PM

the tank is absolutely gorgeous. i love it.

**roybot73** · 02-22-2008, 11:03 PM

It's filled in beautifully! Looks great, man!

**Digsy** · 02-22-2008, 11:06 PM

It looks amazing! I can't believe how much the HC carpet has filled in! How long until the shrimp go in?

**fishman9809** · 02-22-2008, 11:09 PM

You should give it to me!!!
