It's an ADA 45P. I can't wait for the hcc to become a full carpet (hopefully). Also there are rotala red blood and hra in the background. My goal is to have some form of colorfade from green to orange to red, might not turn out very great, we'll see.
Looking for feedback on how I can improve my 4.5gal nano tank. I really like the contrast between the Fissidens and Flame moss. The Hygrophila Pinnatifida also throws in a nice pop of red. Would love to continue refining and maybe submit to a competition some day.
Comment your thoughts on how I can improve it!
This is my first high tech aquascape currently now 8 months old and gone through some minor rescape/replants.
It has been an expensive experience and I learned many things.
I’m looking to prepare a new scape in about 6 months from now for contest submission and would like some constructive criticism on how I can make improvements on my current designs.
Any comments and ideas are welcome!
I am new to this, wanting to set up a small aquascape mainly, might add a snail or a few shrimp later on but mainly here for the plants.
Trying to decide on a light and I’m stuck on the timer. Is it more beneficial to have a timer that has more setting options than fewer? Like having an option for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours rather than just 4, 8, 12? I thought of considering an external timer but i like the lights that fade in and fade out for a softer wake and sleep cycle.
Am i thinking too much about this? I have a tendency to do that.
I'm very new to aquascaping and have some one in the past that has gone wrong. I want to try again after a few years and haven't had the confidence to do so because of how long it's been. I want to get back into and eventually make a beautifully large scale one like some of you had made.
Picture taken during cleaning so a little hazy. Everything is growing pretty nicely. The val has started to cover the back. Would like some more plants on the left though. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately some BBA has started to grow. Might set up co2 after all.
Just wanted to give a roughly 6 month update on my first tank! Its really grown and I have trimmed and removed tons of plants. My nitrates have been running low so today I decided to add some more fish! Added 6 more tetras and 3 emerald corydoras. I showed the owner my tank and he said I was very talented and I rode that high all day 🤣
My school of about 10 minnows and tetras was actually growing with the unexpected birth of at least 2 baby ember tetras. I originally had 4 otto cats but they all died...?
My orange shrimp have been doing great, a colony of about 9 has ballooned to at least 4 dozen.
Really happy with how things are going. I just picked up a 75 gallon tall octagon im going to start working on. Thinking of doing an angel fish community tank. Also toying with a puffer tank...😁😁
Don’t have plants yet figured I’d get the hardscape down but I’m excited for the final project this will be my first ever fish tank so if anyone has any advice shoot it my way :)
Finished number one , any ideas for a nice Layout for the second one ?
Thinking of adding moss to some of the rocka and wood, is it a good idea, do you guys think it will look good?
Need to clean her up a bit but plants are thriving. Does anyone else have a hard time trimming their scapes?
Never had one sprout a flower before. Kinda cool
Just planted about 2 weeks ago. Just added co2 Sunday for the first time ever. I want to get a black background but I feel like a lot is happening. I LOVE the big driftwood in the middle and I just moved more center and wanted rocks to each side. The substrate is uneven on the front but I kinda wanted a wavy look a little bit. Any tips? I’m fairly new to this hobby but not new to fish keeping really.
A friend had this 170 L tank that needed to be re put together. The wood that holds the tank has an iron structure under it and the aquarium we re-sealed it off together 7-8 months ago. Plants : Rottala , Christmass moss, saggitaria , anubias , java ferns, amazon swords and some type of crypts . Fish : orange plecos,bumblebee gobby,kuhlia loaches, 10 cardinal tetras ,10 green neon tetras , neocaridina shrimp, mts,ramshorn snails and also some wild caught whisker shrimp. Im pretty happy with what this tank has turned out . Mind you the tank has been running without a filter or cannister since the start so its basically a whole ecosystem by now.
Hey everyone! My apartment gallery tour with Fritz Aquatics just dropped on their youtube channel and the response so far has been tremendous. I'm inviting you into my home in hopes that my scapes and story will bring you some inspiration. If you enjoyed the video please help me spread it!
Hi everyone, first post here and excited to share my fun and quirky tank with a few orandas..
Tongue in cheek, there is a story here....
Alien crashed landed on some planet.. and looks sad and without hope (alien on ship)...
Then he walks the path of Zen/Buddah little stone path in middle, and meets Buddah.
He then finds friends (goldies) and peace zen like peace :)
EDIT: Ty all for your feedback and compliments. Will def upgrade tank in future when they a bit bigger.
Currently running a small sponge filter and biggg oversized Eheim 3 Professional Canister filter (flow rate 1200L/h)
