Reply With QuoteLong hairgrass? you mean Eleocharis vivipara?
Aiyah... I actually liked the effect of the long hairgrass at the back.
I love the intense redness though, hope it can clump even thicker quickly.
Studying the water chemistry and nutrients is a science.
Knowing what plants to get and how to use them is an art.
Aquascaping is a marriage of art and science, the logical and emotional.

Long hairgrass? you mean Eleocharis vivipara?
Great journal, I enjoy following the development of this tank, the removal of vivipara is an improvement, but I now l find the tank losing focal point in the mid-ground, between the Ericaulon sp. and the R. indica / B. japonica /the new rock placement, perhaps it's one area you can look into.Originally Posted by Jervis
The layout is much neater now... I might move the T5 higher so that the Rotala rotundifolia on the left can grow higher instead of creeping downwards

Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Jervis.. surely that isn't a full tank shot....??
Too lazy to remove all the inlets, outlets and pollen glass
I have an idea... will try it out soon
Oh dear... only days left!!! I will have to quickly wrap up the tank... are we allowed to post the final pix online before ADA announces the result?
Raised the T5 fixture by a couple of inches 2 days ago... I guess the move was a little too latePreviously I suspect the large amount of light limit the height of my Rotala rotundifolia... forcing them to grow downwards
During water change... how I wish my Rotala rotundifolia can reach the top of the water surface just like in the pix
Jervis, IMO the Rotala rotundifolia reached quite a okay height, why not just reduce the water level for the photo shoot?

We think alike
Submitted this tank for ADA 08 a few days ago...
Here are some shots taken before the final session.
Added a cardboard frame to better 'frame' the light... eliminating glare to the camera lens.
Blue glow background effect using a PL light with a blue plastic sheet.
Hey, may I know what camera you used?
I took pictures of my tank and it's really sucks, blur, and really nothing compare to yours. I got a lot to learn man. Yours is like so crystal clear.
I'm using the Sony Alpha 100 DSLR... considered ancient as the new models are so bloody sexy
really like the effect of the overflowing rotala green.

sorry but shouldn't selling be done in market place? :P
Yeah I suppose... but I want to give priority to those who are interested in aquascaping, not to those just logging in for great bargain (as many did I believe).

Hi guys... I think it's time to complete this tank journal with an official ADA Competition 2008 picture. Sweeping Inspiration is the title of this tank... thanks to an AQ member for the name
Thanks so much for all your comments... I really learned a lot along the way... don't worry the journey will never ends
