Hope you have some pictures to update us as the tank progress.
After much thought, as to what i wanted to do, asking many many questions (thank you Weirong for all your help and the moss). after many attempts at propagating different species all of which seemed to fail (stupid algea), I thought why not make a whole tank planted with algae. Simple to grow easy to maintain, and no need to trim it, ill just transfer an apple snail i have in another aquarium into my algae aquarium, and Bobs your uncle, maintenance free trimmed tank. then i thought, yuk, algae is pretty gross. SO i threw that idea in the loo, like my green water i have in my angle tank. then i thought long and hard here. What can i do to make a nice aquarium that is simple to maintain and it hardly done. i studdied all of amanos tanks all contest tanks i could get my eyes on, and then it dawned on me... im in the wrong hobby if i dont want to send hundreds of dollars on aquarium stuff.. so i felt bad. i wanted a nice tank but didnt want to spend much. then i came across "Ocean breeze" by my fav, aqua scaper Norbert Sabat, and read the journal about it on the APC, it was a cheap scape. I loved it, simple, beautiful. So i tried making a scape like his, but the only store that sells dwarf hair grass, (that i could find) had these straw like bundles of yellow brown hair grass, selling at 12 bucks....Back to the drawing boad for me.... so i was upset and i stored my tanks until i got a good idea... then one day i got a nice little trimless nano aquarium for $15 ( the are NO trimless tanks in Vancouver) so i was pleased but it was impossible to scape do to is narrow quality.. 15" wide by 7" deep by 9" tall. so i just had it sitting on my desk full of white sand and eco complete.... then yesterday i want to BigAl's they ot a new shipment of bog woods.. i went through it with my girl friend.. ( felt embarassed i was such a dork, talking to the drift woods, like i was hunting rabbits ) then BOOM nice peice of wood like amano's only really chunky ugly and amano would most likely chuck it in the garbage can if he had it.. it was perfect. to be continued.....
Hope you have some pictures to update us as the tank progress.
