Looks great - I like it!
Is that fluorite that you're using?
Very nice narrow leaf java fern.
What kind of moss is that in pic #4? It almost looked like a chunk of cladophora to me, but it must be some moss.

Very beautiful! Very healthy Javas and Anubias.
It'll be spectacular when it fills in a little more.

Do you have any plans for ground-cover?

 

[Steven_Chong]

simple, well done

 

[bienlim]

thanks guys for the compliments.
ringram,about the substrate they r mixed gravel and flourite and i beleive the #4 picture is my fisseden spc.

I'm liking your lowlight setup. Looks like everything is growing well. How do you keep algae at bay and how are you dosing this tank?

 

[bienlim]

well i think this tank is doing good when it comes to algae is coz the tank is already well established,im pretty sure it would have been a very diff. story if i started from scratch.i use EI in this set up well kinda,i dose macro after changing the water(40%) weekly K 1/2 tbs ,PO 4ppm ,No3 10ppm and just tryng to maintain this thru. the whole week. and micro 5ml every other day and thats it.getting lucky so far.

Is that anubias nana? did you buy many plants or did it grow to that size? if so how long did it take? I can't wait for the crypts the take off.

 

[bienlim]

yes,those r my nana.i did'nt buy, i have them in this tank in a previous scape.and i cant wait for the crypt to take off as well.

 

[Betowess]

Great scape! Going to be sweet when the Crypts grown in. Hope you keep the top of the valley open.

 

[Architect1]

Wow Nice tank love the pics.

 

[fishman76092]

Gret looking tank-Itll look even better when it fills in a bit. Love what you've done with the hardscape.

 

[bienlim]

after a couple of months here it is now,the crypt. started to grow now but i was hoping by now they should have taken over the tank...let me know what u think.thanks

 

[sayn3ver]

Beautiful. Its simple yet i can't pull myself away. I'd love to see it in person. It has such a natural yet hyper-real sort of feeling to it, as if it could actually occur in some tropical river or lake yet its clean enough to feel like a piece of art.

Much fan of the chaos that is the java fern/val combo.

 

[bienlim]

sayn3ver thank u for such a very nice comment there i appreciate it very much.i feel like i need to change something in here but i dont know what,does anybody have some suggestion.thanks

 

[frozenbarb]

Nice, All i got to say is run ur java ferns

 

[Betowess]

I think the plants on the left are blocking a lot of light to the Crypts. Clear a bit of light path and the crypts will kick into gear sooner.

 

[bienlim]

its been a while and i think not much change except i took out some tall grass plants on the left to give the crypt. some light and hopefully take over the space i provided for them,and btw i did spread the anubia and the java fern NL is doing very well.thanks for looking and hope u like it

 

[frozenbarb]

-.-. run your java ferns.. I really like how you put your java ferns...

like a path in the middle INTO java FOrest =D

 

[Harsh]

Very nice... why don't you get a dark background? i think that is the only thing i would change in there..
