Hi all,

My 5 mth old, island concept scape consists of:

Mini+tiawian moss and narrow leaf fern+java fern all tied to driftwood.
Anubias nana, crypto parva, crypto albida (not sure),crinum calamistratum
(sotong plant), japonicas blax as midground.
Glossostigma elatinoides as foreground.

About 70 cardinal tretas, 5 ottos, 3 cories,2 fake sae
and 100++ yamato,cherry,tiger,malayan shrimps as algae crews.

Lightings 36wx6 PL, External filteration, CO2 injection via external reactor.

p/s I know the pipes are ugly.

Nice looking tank, well done!

do you dose fert? Care to share?

**sammajor** · 14th Dec 2005, 18:00

Thanks you guys, currently dose JBL Ferropol and Kno3/KH2Po4 x 3 weekly.
I dont test water except change water 15% weekly, as long plants are healthly and fishes not dying this my tell tale sign.

wah bro. ur tank looks nice lei....with 1 center focal point...though i would feel the effect would be better if u had black oyama background...care to share the tank specs etc...

Nice looking tank. Yup. Agree with Taz that a background would be better. You can also go for white Oyama paper if you want to retain as closed to the current feel of the tank.

I'd say thin out the thick Java Moss, and plant more crypts closer to the front glass in the centre.

hmm... it seems that apparently even with 6 x 36W of PL power, the glossos are still not growing low enough...

**eddyq** · 15th Dec 2005, 09:44

Yes growing glosso is very demanding needs good range of CO2 and strong lights and nutrients.
