Lovely setup Tirth Thumb Up

Looks fantastic mate, cant wait for the Glosso (?) to carpet the front area

Hyath,

There is no glosso in there.

IMO the rocks will look good once the HC grows and fills up the area. This tank needs to mature. then it will look very beautiful.

Regards,

Sridhar.P

Thanks everyone for your kind words and the valuable inputs.

@Hamza: You are correct, that the ocks are bit out of the world. Not the position or the color, problem is the size of the rocks. They are much smaller than they needs to be. I tried to change the settings but while doing it, I found Sands are shifting a lot. So I gave up. Gradually they will be covered by the HM and HC.

@Angad: Updated with Specs. Smile

@Koushik Da/Ranjit: Haven't decidec yet on fishes. But will go fr Micro species, may be Borasas Sp. Any sugession?

@Nitin: The tank is now in a growing state and suddenly I clicked all the pictures without any prior planning. So everything is there. When the tank will be grown fully, I will take the photo after removing all the stuffs. Anyway thanks for the sugession.

@Manjesh: This is the first time, I am keeping HM, HC and Blyxa. So was not aware about the size and growth pattern. Thats why I messed up a bit with the scaping. Just let them grow, so they can create their own scape.

@Hayath: They are not glosso. They are HC. I am also egerly waiting to see the complete growth of them. Smile

Beautiful....if this tank lives up to expectation then it will be worth for a contest.
Great Work.

PS : Not talking bout algae Tirtha. ROFL

Avadhoot don't utter that Word even. Mad

Somehow this time I managed to keep that curse away of the tank. Frequent Water change and Excel helping me to keep them at bay. Keeping my fingure crossed though.

Hi Tirtha

Looks Great so far.....just had one suggestion. The rocks somehow dont look like they belong there....cant really put a finger on it.

Hi Seetharam: Please check my previous posts. I tried to rearrange the Hard scapes right after getting the initial growth. But failed to do as the sand is shifting a lot. So just left the tank to grow as they want. Hope, within 1-2 months everything will be covered by plants.

Is it 2-3mm/cm of gravel? Just love the way you have done, its something like 'keep it simple', with only 4 plant species.
Can you tell me what is EI method? Unsure

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 3:40 pm Post subject: Re: Cube :: Specs Updated

EI means Estimative Dosing. In nutshell, adding dry chemicals directly into the tank water. Take a look at the link below to get the details of it.

simply suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuperb

Nicely setup. The scape will look better as it matures.

Stones with different texture looks a bit out of place, see if can get smaller stones with the similar texture. Rest is perfect, great going Thumb Up

Tirtha,
does seachem excel really help in preventing algae growth? i seem to have lots in my planted tank and i am quite sick of cleaning the glass every week. please pm me the cost if it does. how about putting in a coupe of round rocks? they might do the trick.

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 10:12 pm Post subject: Re: Cube :: Specs Updated

well crafted,exquisite .looks very lovely ! Thumb Up

would love to own something like that someday Very Happy

Kunal.... Excel is certainly help to prevent some kind of algae. But it is not algae killer by nature. Start a new thread with the full desc of the algae you are getting. There are other solutions to prevent algae and you will get lots of help to prevent that.

Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:04 am Post subject: Re: Cube :: Specs Updated

And thanks everyone for your kind words and helpfull inputs. As of now I decided to keep the tank untouched and let the plants grow to their fullest to get the final look.
