Really well done! keep it up the good work and move up the ranking next year!

[blue33]

Thanks. Errr..... i'm almost semi-retired. LOL This tank is also semi-retired. Btw i just rescape my Cade tank, friends said is nice, low maintenance tank. Hopefully good enough for competition, i see lots of potential in this tank.

This tank has really achieved its glory day, winning below 100 for a 2ft tank is already a miracle to me and others, hardly small tank can win below 100 from past years IAPLC records. Mostly are 3ft tank and above can make it to the top.

Congrats to you Adrian!!!
Your scape always inspire me, always trying very hard not to go for Rock scape as I prefer DW. But......

Can't wait to see your next project!!!!

Thanks bro. Great to hear that my scape has inspired you. New project is going on smoothly as always. Hopefully i can get at least a 3ft tank to start with after seeing so many winning scape that is above 3ft tank, sigh...

Not bad for this tank to achieve good result recently in short period planting.

AQ ADA Rank no. 5, tank wasnt mature yet before i submitted. It was around 2 months old tank.

This is really nice setup. Love the HC.
I heard HC very difficult to grow. Is that true? what is your secret?
Planning for 3ft tank only using HC and rocks. Any advice?

Thanks! Have PM you.

More question: is it okay to have 2 x 55W for 3ft tank if HC is not light hungry? Thanks!

[blue33]

I thot 55W is for 2ft tank? Is too short(light tube length) for 3ft tank, the light may not able to cover the tank. For new tank setup, you dont need much strong light, things inside is not mature, so algae tends to attack at that period.

congrats Adrian-san.
semi-retired is still not fully retired , so perhaps we'll still get to see something new from you soon.... . or something already done up but still a "secret"... hehe.

[blue33]

Thanks!....... ... you being peeping on me. LOL...

Thank you once again. Yes, I do have one set of 3ft light set with 2 x 55W and has been thinking whether to go for MH light with 150W.

[blue33]

What you can try is remove the acrylic cover of the light and it should be enough lighting. I would advice if you can try on the current set that you have before purchase the MH. MH good to have but not necessary. IMO
