AF Client Rescape Tank - Relaxing View Of Nature

[samson]

Just would like to say thanks to my client Mr.Lau for continue support and letting me to share the rescape tank picture. The first tank was also rescape at year 2013 just forget which month. Mr.Lau started approach me on mid of Jun 14 to say he would like to change a new tank since the old tank already being service for around 4~5 years and it time to change a new one. Second requirement was changing a new layout and recycle back all the wood, rock and plant in the old tank. Lastly was relocate the new tank to new location base on feng shui master advice. The next step as usually is to come out with the proposal for Mr.Lau to approve on the overall concept layout approach before our team execute the project. Please refer below picture on the old tank layout and proposal that we send to the client for approval. I also would like to say thanks to Yu Hua on helping on this rescape project since my partner Douglas was in US at that time.







Proposal send to our client






After obtain approval we will arrange the best time for the work to start. Since Sun my client shop was close so it’s the best time to start since our client in hurry to get it done. HA!!!. The project was officially started on 9am on 6July2014.

Remove all the plant, live stock, rock and wood before removing all the soil.


The client is checking the new tank position


So sorry for not taking step by step photo because we was always thinking of getting the jobs done in time lucky we manage to get it done on time. From 9am to 7pm tough jobs lucky the clients join the process. The client was helping sorting out the plant to be use on the new layout and break into small portion so that is easy for me to plug into the location being assign. Below are the finish layout and tank specification

Emperor Black Tetra looks like toothless from How to Train your dragon.

The hard scape layout is nice. Why didnt you consider moving the pipes and the hoses to one side so as not to obstruct the view?
Also, for a 3 x 1.5 x 1.5, that is SOME filtration! How do you fit 3 canisters man ! hahah

One more thing. The lights do not seem as bright as the previous 1st scape. You reckon it is enough for your new scape?

The old scape is flooded with Staghorn algae?

The inflow and outflow location is refer to client feng shui. HA!!! If customer OK with not getting the view from the glass then he can stick a white/black sticker as background then problem solve.
Below picture the piping diagram.

We close up some of the light when i snap the photo. At start we only recommended customer to on for 6hrs daily. Increase the light slowly after 2-3week when the tank is stable.
