The Geisemann is definitely looking really nice! Why not consider replacing your green Eheim inlet/outlet with the professional series? The black one.

**Captain Telecredible** · 15th Feb 2009, 12:17

The woods is too centre causing distracting to view.

hello, I have a simple question.

Why do you chill your water? I have to use a heater to keep my aquarium at 24c (75f here in USA)

probably a simple answer, but I am curious, thanks.

**blue33** · 21st Feb 2009, 12:10

Singapore is a Tropical Island, temperature hovering around 28-34 degree Celsius.

Most of the time summer through out the whole year.

**norcalnerd** · 21st Feb 2009, 12:15

Fascinating. So here in the northern USA we need to heat our water, during summer and especially winter, and in Singapore you cool your water. I never even considered the possibility.

Thank you. Everyone here has fascinating aquascapes, including OP's. I have enjoyed reading through the threads!

Thank you for the encouragement. I don't want to distract this thread any further from your aquascape. Maybe I will build the courage to show off my beginner tank soon.

Hi guys ...
This update was long overdue

Well some interesting updates. Decided to rescape my tank, in less than running for 2 months.

New Faunas:
Wild Apistogramma Elizaberth 'Icana'

Lately been neglecting this tank due to studies. Well, you can spot algae at the coner of the tank. Meanwhile still trying to move plants here and there.

Here is the lastest FTS:

**Casablanca** · 1st Apr 2009, 22:28

Hi CaptainTelecredible,

The rescaped tank certainly looks much better than the first

I would remove some of the woods at the center of your tank, allowing the path of the white riverbed running to the end of the tank to be seen, enhancing the depth of
your scape.

What do you think?

cheers,

**Captain Telecredible** · 1st Apr 2009, 22:39

Well, thanks for the comment. But the problem is that, the base of the driftwood is stuck under all the plants. If i take out the driftwood, it would definetly uproot all the stem plants and the ferns. Another rescape? Well i can try, if i got the time.

Cheers,
