Juwel Rio 125 (about 29G) no monsters here!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
amazing set ups, no matter how you've rescaped its always turned out stunning.
 
Another update another photo, the new CO2 inline diffuser is great, very happy I purchased that :) tank is now pearling like crazy, even the Fissidens fontanus is pearling! lol





























Photos just had a resize, and straight off the camera, the Tamron 90mm macro is a great lens! Shame the camera its attached to! lol

Think that is enough photos for one day haha :)
 
Well the tank is still going without a rescape, just keeps evolving from one to the next, here the latest photo taken yesterday:

Thanks for looking, comments and critiques always welcomed :)
 
Smashing tank - pity you lost those lovely Apistos. I like the use of wood - a bit different to the normal driftwood you see. Where are you getting it from and are you treating it before use ?

Thanks, I did like the apistos also, maybe something to try in the future, as I have a lot of cherry shrimp I don't want to try fish that might eat the young, so for now the threadfin rainbows fit the bill nicely.

The wood is Manzanita aka Manzi wood, was sent to the UK by Tom Barr to one of the Fish Keeping Societies in the UK. Later on purchased a few more bits from plantedbox.com

Cheers

Thanks for that I've not come across plantedbox or Manzanita wood before - it looks ideal for putting together a dense "forest root" style setup which I've been thinking about for a while so I'll drop them an email.
 
Incredible tank, LondonDragon. I started the thread about half way through and was stunned to read it was only a 29 gallon tank. You maximized the space very efficiently. I love the shots you took too, very nice camera work.

Many thanks, I tried my best to put some depth into the tank as its only 36cm deep and does not give much room to work with. Tank is not waiting to be rescaped or replaced, haven't done much with it lately to be honest.
