180g rescape

Post by ingg »

A couple weeks old now. Water is still kinda yellow, tannins aren't done yet.

No livestock to speak of yet, shrimp and some otos. Ordering in some fish in about 2 weeks, waiting for them to get released from QT at the importer.

Big thanks to the folks who helped me set it up. If I can get the trim of the stems right, this is going to be one sweet scape!

Which one is Aaron's peak? Because I can't see any difference in the hardscape between the pictures above and the ones on Kris' blog entry:

And by the way, Dave, that is going to be a sweet tank - I'm looking forward to seeing how it fills in. Please continue posting updates!

Yeah yeah, I knocked it off - tried to put it back according to the original pics, Aaron has to come fix it!

See the big rock on the right? See the little point on the top of it?

That is this little rock that Aaron placed, made this perfect little piece. I'm oing to have to bondo the thing in place!

If this gets good enough to enter competition with this year, title of the scape is "Aaron's Peak". ;) Well... once he comes and fixes it.



For fish, it'll be 50 rasboras and 40 or so ember tetras, possibly some German Rams.

I LOVE how you made the wood look like tree bases!!! I've wanted to do that for a long time, but never thought of bundling pieces like that.

Looks great Dave. I also like the way you arranged the wood together like that. Very creative!
