impressive....most impressive....
some updates... anyone can ID the stem plant with the red leaves?
Love the slates you used to make the path... but would look better if it didn't seem so straight.
What are the slates made out of? Just curious as I noticed that you're rearing CRS in the tank.
yah i agree with u but it;s pretty late to change that now since the HC on both sides are growing ok. i intended to have a slightly curved path in the beginning but when it;s done, it;s just ended up looking straight. haha..Love the slates you used to make the path... but would look better if it didn't seem so straight.
i did a search in wikipedia on slates and there are many kinds with different mineral compositions. i am not sure the type of slate i am using. some do contribute to the GH in the water i think. Yes i tried to keep crs in my tank, but i think i'll just give up and settle for shrimp species that are more hardy. CRS is for rich ppl to play, and it's just too much headache to keep everything in the perimeter that they require. Somemore i am trying to achieve a well planted tanks that need ferts, which CRS dun take too well to. So i have to make the choice and i choose to have a nicer planted tank and some other shrimps which i hoped i can get tomorrow.
now i am left with a lonely CRS. the rest died when they have difficulty molting because of high GH in my water.
Thats sad to hear dude. Anyway, your scape looks amazing. Do post more pictures if there are further improvements.
Love the aquascape! Great job!
Lol u very good at aquascraping man, very nice. like going back home with the path there.
well the scape is to portray a sandy path under a tree in a garden. somehow now looks like it's lost in translation. haha. Just cant stop myself from adding things.
are u going to add fishes?
added shrimps and snails but not shown in pic
so envious of your well maniqured tank
wow like pro design, my come back to fish rearing is the first start with ramshore snail and zebra snail,

update and some pic of my tank, about 3 to 4 months old
