Wow, nice one!
What plants do you have in there? HC, HM, Altheranathera Reineckii 'mini' ?
I have the same questions as the other guys. Very clean set up! I think I might need you to come do some photos for me hahaha so professional!

WOW!!!!!!! that is a beautiful tank Craig, excellent job, that thing should be inside not in the garage, or do you have a wife That tank would look beautiful with a pair of apistos
Thanks Michael. I'm still a student living at home, so I was forced to the garage
mate that tank belongs in an ADA magazine. That is absolutely stunning! Very nice setup, I have the same sized tank but it doesn't look nearly as good as that lol.
Where did you get those rocks from?
Thanks for the kind words! Rocks were from Aquarium Gallery Perth. I don't think it's quite in the league of ADA, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out

Yep, all those plants plus a little bit of hairgrass and mini pellia.
Photos were just taken with my phone (HTC One M8), but I'm glad you like them!

I actually think the brick background that is shown in all of your photos but the last one actually looks pretty awesome, adds further depth perspective.

That shows how damaged my old SLR camera is haha. Where did you get your plants from, all from Aquarium and Display centre?
I would love to buy some stems of the Althernanther Reineckii 'mini' when you have some to spare, add to the collection.

Most plants were from there, but I acquired some through friends The Aquarium Life forum has a bunch of Perth hobbyists.

Thanks Riggers. Yep, running pressurised CO2. Can't have a proper planted tank without it in my opinion.

Looks bloody great mate! Why bother with the hydor though when the 2178 has the inbuilt heater?
Posted 30 September 2014 - 05:35 PM
Typo It's actually a 2078 (nicely spotted!)

Can't remember how much exactly.. I think it was about 2 and a half of the 9L bags, plus a little bit of powder on top.

Whoa incredible looking tank! Exactly the type of rocks I've been trying to get my hands on too haha

very nice man, let me just start by saying great looking tank, one or 2 more trims and the left hill should be thick,
these are just my opinions,
im thinking you could continue with the Althernanther Reineckii 'mini' along the left hand side to break the visual transition from the foreground to the background as you have done on the right hand side, it works perfectly
