Killer in the waiting, unfortunately, he committed suicide, one downfall of the rimless tank

Beautiful design. How much work is spent keeping the river clean?

the river has been abandoned, too much flourite runoff, its been choked, the lake that fed the river is still alive, but too much pollution :icon_lol:

LOL, I understand, from what I have read you need to have some sort of border that would be obvious unless you had some plants growing over it.

Awesome growth and design.

Thanks!
I should have done that when I put everything in at the start but oh well....I place some extra new sand on top of the old river and it looks good for a week or two... good enough lol... too lazy now to tear everything apart. Plus having a plastic barrier = eyesore

Wow your tank really looks great. It is amazing that the tank has progressed this much since you started. Keep up the good work

Beautiful tank. I love it! I love the stand, too! Well done.

My goodness this tank has come a long way and it looks AMAZING! keep it up! I really like the natural feel, and for me the rock in all the grass makes it, draws my eye first. I do think you should make it a little bit more visible IMO, but it looks great regardless. Those sailfin mollys help a bunch for algae, I just got one, works spectacular.
I never could get that pesky hair grass to grow worth a crap :-/

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words!

Unfortunately my mollies died due to a co2 OD
My solenoid seems to open up spontaneously, any words of advice?

Wow! Your tank is absolutely gorgeous. I love the dimensions of that tank too. Nice work!

 

[karce87]

It is wonderful how the tank has progressed! Looking forward to more updates!

Thank you all, im in the process of selling all of my plants so that I can rip the whole thing out, cut that driftwood into more manageable pieces.... it seems to be holding a lot of volume in an already small aquarium....

After a complete tear down......
Fishing lined the fissiden over most of the DW.
Kept a bit of DHG which I planted in random spots... growing well.

Thats about it really. Wish DHG would expand quicker.....

Just trimmed it
