2ft Optiwhite - The Rising Sun

Hmmm, don't really like those liver red pebbles.

I think the wood pieces are too centre. 2 inches to the right I think would 'unbalance' it nicely.
My 2 cents.

Thanks for the comment! I've to agree the red liver pebbles is kind of distracting, I'll remove the red liver pebbles later on. Do you mean shift the woods 2 inch to the left to HM side? Actually i've intend to build a path on the empty space. Still waiting for the plant to fill up those empty space. The picture below showing the white sand i've filled the path.



The center suppose to be diffuse by Luwigia Acruata, it didnt make it in time for the current photo.

I'll touchup the minor thing again to make it more natural. Thanks. And keep the suggestion coming...

My first and only 15 minutes "Vivarium" during water changing.

For one moment there I really believed you changed your tank concept. Looks good too. Time for another tank... The Low Tide Tank perhaps haha.

When you going to pass me your spare tank for me to start the low tide tank?

[blue33]

HM has melted, most of it, as it really sensitive to nylon fabric that i use to tie on my mini raccia. Now i've replaced it with "Myriophyllum Aquaticum", i dont often see this plant in LFS, saw Amano use this in their tanks, really looks good, i happen to pass by Rainbow Fish Farm, suprising they sell some rare plants over there, and the huge tank with lots of Emperor tetra and cardinal tetra. Before went to Rainbow, i went to QianHu, they got "Arcadia luminaire" lighting, T5 and MH, really looks good but the price is also really good.

Any chance of a photo to see how its coming along?

Are you aware than Myriophyllum Aquaticum grows to be anything from 5 metres to 5 metres tall! Trust me, i know. In my tank it grew worse than Cabomba for excellerated growth in optimum conditions. Good luck with this plant mate, its a patience tester. I hope for your sake my experience was a one off, it drove me nuts Just don't let it overgrow your tank, it becomes a matted mess of stems and leaves far easier than Cabomba. I've read (not sure where) it starves your pond/tank of oxygen. I can't quote where from, it was some years ago when i was "checking" out what the hell this plant was when i started having trouble with it.

I just bought Arcadia Luminaire T5 HO light sets. I bought the 600mm 4x24W and 1000mm 4x39W. Cost me an absolute bomb £496 (1,296 SPD). Extortionate! And i just found i could of saved most of that by buying from AquaEssentials. I learned a valuable lesson. Don't buy from retailer, buy online and save depth of pocket I'm still smiling though, finally upgraded my lights. I'll let you know if they're worthwhile maybe .

Thanks for the advice, will try it out. Saw Amano tank using Myriophyllum Aquaticum, i think most of the plant can grow pretty tall provided with good condition and most of it needs to trim to keep them short. I do trim plant quite alot, hope i can manage it.
Here's the link to Amano tank. Pictures on the left is Myriophyllum Aquaticum. Click >Here<

Wow really has cost you an arm and leg. Can we buy from AquaEssentials also, do they ship to Singapore? Wondering will it be cheaper?

[blue33]

I've trim the rotala plant, now looks very bare. Will update once it grow more dense, the moss on the woods is really growing more dense now, and the rocks moss is getting better.

[Verminator]

AquaEssentials ship tanks anywhere in the world they say; so although i can't say for certain that they do or don't i think they do ship anywhere.

To be perfectly honest. As a UK customer and resident i find Singapores prices FAR cheaper than anywhere here in the UK. Especially MizuWorlds plants (which i get through AquaSpotWorld), they're alot cheaper than here in the UK. But by all means try out AquaEssentials - many many happy customers i hear of.

That's is taiwan moss I guess not mini christmas moss.

Bought it from Bioplast, the boss said is mini christmas. I'm confuse!
On careful look they are different. In terms of growing also, i could be wrong. Especially the tip parts.

Ok! I've just give Mr Tan Bioplast(LFS) a call, he confirmed that there's a different in Mini Christmas moss and Taiwan moss, he also said they look quite similiar but they are not.
