KillieOrCory Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 These are my aquascaped, fully sculptured natural set-up tanks In the distant past I had a tank that looked not half bad, had some plants in and everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 My 5ft a couple of weeks ago (80gal): My pond (55gal~): 3ft (55gal), about a month ago: Jebo 338 (10gal), plants have grown a lot since this picture: My fry tank looking shockingly dull (~5gal): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 My 3' Pirates of the Carrabean themed tank. Normally it's more overgrown than this, the pic was tanken today. I only just tidied the plants up 3 days ago. My fry tank, approx 40-50L. It belonged to my grandfather's friend. When he went on holiday my grandfather and I used to look after his fancy goldfish in this tank, I was about 5-7 at the time. My grandfather's friend died from a sudden heart attack and his wife threw it away so I took it, bred lizards in it for a while when I was in high school and now it's my fry tank. So it's been around for a while, never sprung a leak in all the time I've had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Very nice setup Leema I'm envious of the 80 gal and Klara, I love the pirate theme tank :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah that 5' tank is something special. Excuse the bottles in the Pirate tank, it's the best way of keeping a couple of the fish warm in the cooler weather. They get changed everyday but still manage grow a bit of algae .

Jess Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I love these tanks!! they look great!! Love the Pirate tank Klara, so does my Mark! (He did ask where Jack Sparrow was LOL) Serkan, I liek that way the tanks are divided up for the pairs and pieces of plants (I think I saw pots or the like in past photos) Leela, I still love your 5ft tank! Is that what the BN's bred in? and is that where your Blue Rams are? What's the pots for in your pond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Klara, I am sooo jelous of that ship if your PotC tank, I've been on the lookout for one similar to put in my 3ft and Lee, love the look of you 5ft <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDP Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hope that worked! thats my 4 foot tank, its very unorganised and more of a learning exercise than anything else. I like that 5 foot tank, it looks very tidy and clean and klara, your tank looks alot bigger than 3'!..... something i need to work on with mine i think.

Figure_8 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Great looking tank BDP! is that riccia growing on the stone? Its a fantastic look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDP Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 thankyou! but it still needs alot of work. When the amazon sword runners start growing a bit more it should fill up a bit. The plant on the rock is just java moss i tied on there with some cotton, I've been trying to find riccia but its not too easy in the colder months. I did fnd a mail order place in VIC that sells it though so i might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 that looks great! I can never get java moss to grow like that.. well done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I would love to get java moss to grow like that! I once went to an lfs that had a display tank with lots of rock and driftwood etc, but you should have seen the java moss, which was growing so perfectly out into the tank on almost every surface, like it is on BDP's rock! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sorry - I thought I replied but not the case... Must've dreamt it. Thankyou splendidbettas, fuzzy_dragonfly & Robbie. Faewyn, you called me Leela again... But, yes, the 5fter is the home of my bristlenose pair and my blue and gold rams. The pots in my pond were for the hillstream loaches that I've never gotten... So now they're there just 'cause i think they look cool. I did some renovations in my 5ft and Jebo... Some plant swapping. Here's the 5ft now - I had the hood off because it's too tall for me to reach into otherwise. So please just look in the tanks, and not the ugly exposed globes! However, for this look, the Jebo had to suffer. All the spikey plants were moved from the 5ft to the Jebo, along with a very sick swordplant... Hope that the intense lighting of the Jebo can bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 The 5ft looks better now too bad the Jebo had to suffer lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDP Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 leema that really is an impressive tank! How much light (wattage) do you use? Do you use CO2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 your 5ft is looking awesome Leema!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thanks guys. on the 5ft there's just 1 or 2 watt per gallon right now. I am getting a double reflector this upcoming week, though - so hopefully then we might get a bit more plant growth. I don't use CO2, but I have a laterite undergravel fertiliser and also use Flourish... I started using Flourish in between those two pics - look at the blue stricta on the left! Blue stricta is one of my favourite plants, and I'm very happy I now have it growing. Thanks for all your kind comments. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Whoa, that 5ft is GREAT and spikey plants = Valis (I think ) Good job Lee ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 The spikey plants are a pongol and a dwarf pongol... Or something with similar spelling? I want to get some hairgrasses in there, and some vals, maybe. MAYBE crypts. I love my hairgrasses, but they just don't suit my 5ft, so this is the alternative. Has anyone spotted the bristlenose in the renovated Jebo pic? (That one's yours, Robbie. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
