Nice and neat set up you have. Excellent choices of flora you include in your tank. thumbs up for you and your planted. viewing your tank in real life would be wonderful. too bad cant see your tank upclose, maybe you can take picture of closer shots. cant see your tiger lotus.. haha! so do update us when your tank becomes more mature.
cheers..
Growing old with this forum.. :)
Excellent scape! Bro, for the first picture, you might want to add something at the bottom right corner? Seems abit empty.

That's a huge tank!!! And the aquascaping looks good on both sides. Not an easy feat to achieve.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Yup, I will add something ... I just can't find anything fit in there.Originally Posted by marle
Ok .. I will update my tanks with closer shots.
Hahaha .. yes my tiger lotus still hidden somewhere inside. Hopefully it will grow fast.
wow double side scape not easy to achieve...well done r36613..good job! oh i noticed you are using MH 70W may i know where you got your lightset from??
Very Neat Bung Reggie! like other has said, more plants or maybe wait till it grows ...
might be somewhere in Indonesia my guess
At local store in Surabaya, Indonesia. It's OSRAM HQL-Daylight 70 Watt.
Want to update after 1 month and add more anubias + echinodorus tenelus, trim rotala rotundifolia and egeria densa and replant it
christmass moss and flame moss
Echi. Red Rubin
Echi Red Rubin Narrow
Echi Red Flame
WOW!!!! Thats a great tank! May i know what is the thickness of your tank cos i saw there are two brace along the width. My ideal tank is 180 x 60 x 70braceless but aleast need 15mm and that would cost around $2k.
i just want to say, verry nice tank bro
Please comment ....
wah....it took me close to 5 tanks and i'm still no where near your standards
I"m using 12mm thick glass with full braces plus 2 center braces to secure everything. At first time it arrived with only one center brace, I broke the center brace and suddenly with only few hours (with full water in the tank), the front long brace cracked. So immediately, I emptied the tank and call the store to replace the brace and add one more center brace.WOW!!!! Thats a great tank!

For everyone, thank you ...
For now, I have problem with Althenantera Reinicki, Eustralis Stelata, Hygrophila Angustifolia, Amania Gracilis. When I plant them, after aprox 1 week, the plant stem got rotten exactly at substrat surface. Now, I'm using local volcanic gravel. So now, I plant some plant above with silica placed it in a cup, and put it in the same spot to prove that something wrong with the substrat.
But all my echinodorus, egeria densa grow very well with new leave every week. My flame moss and christmass moss also good. My anubias with some root grow below substrat also has a good sign.
Want to update my tanks which looks like a mess ...
