Reply With QuoteI know this isnt your tank. But just want to check, is that E. Tenellus at the back? This is exactly what i hope to achieve in my 2ft tank. On a smaller scale ofcourse
haha teaser...keeping us in suspense?

It could be either E. Tenellus or Blyxa japonica. You need plenty of firepower to get this kinda copper colouration
they do really look like E. tenellus to me ! those given good lightings, good fertilizations would turn out blood red. mine also appear pinkishI know this isnt your tank.

look more like blyxa japonica to me
Save the hassel of identifying the plant, and the dissapointment when i know it'll fail. I think i'll just stick to HC and rocks in my scape
Back on topic now, feel like its diverting a bit haha.

you might want to review that
in my experience e tenellus (never tried blyxa before) is way much easier to grow and maintain than HC
back to topic, wheres the tank shot???
im waiting!
Sorry guys~ work and family commitments have weighed me down ^_^" I can't wait to update either
Any idea what small fishes to have in this 30C?
I'm leaning towards spotted boraras. Used to have them, very delicate and beautiful fish.

very beautiful tank. thanks for posting
Thanks Ghim. Light came from the only one source, 15W philips tornado twister 6500K, which I later changed to 20W. I'm sure with flash I would be able to have better control and better quality, as those are shot in high ISO and very slow shutter speed.The pictures are really well taken.You grasp the focal point and lighting well.
No picture no talk!
My interest has wandered! Do U?
No pics?FTS please!

Bro, any updates? In need of inspirations as I just got myself a 2nd hand ADA 30-C!!
The last tank shot that I have of this scape before it goes under the knife...
Hello guys! Apart from mia for a while, I have already torn this tank down as well...reason being not only it was too much of a high maintenance for me, but also all my time has to go into work and most of all my newborn baby boy who is 3 months old now
Give the small size of this tank, every week, I has to constantly keep the hairgrass in shape and in place and also consistently trimming the foreground moss to keep it short and bushy... but when my new found love is born... I totally neglected it for almost two months... and not only it went wild...algae also took over... lol
But nevertheless, I have already rescaped it with a simpler set up... and i have also started a 100cm tank too...
will update soon!
Cheers!
