Aquascaping Update
Just another quick aquascaping update I could be imagining it, but I’m sure there are some new shoots of Eleocharis popping up here and there.

Aquarium Planting Progress
Just a quick update on the plants in my new aquarium seeing as it’s been 3 weeks since they were planted. They have been growing emersed as part of the Dry Start Method (DSM) since then and seem to be doing OK. The Staurogyne repens is settling in well and appears to be well rooted now,...
Fusion Aquascape Planting
On our way home at the weekend, we popped into Aquajardin near Gloucester to get some plants for my new tank. they didn’t quite have what we wanted so we came away with less than expected. Just one little pot of 1-2- Grow Eleocharis sp. mini and 1 pot of 1-2-Grow Staurogyne repens, along with...
The Final Scape?
Back to the fish tank and my ‘aquascaping’ project I’m afraid! There was a slight hiccup the other day when the cool RGB LED light strip that I had stuck to the back of the cabinet decided to come unstuck. Naturally gravity took over – it has a nasty habit of doing that – and...
The Hardscaping Continues
I think I’m getting somewhere with this hardscaping. I had an idea in bed last night to try to build up some rocks at the back of the tank around the edges of the lighter coloured stream. I wanted to create the effect of a mountain stream emerging from a gorge, something we get a...

Plans for an attractive Orinoco River Basin Biotope Aquarium
The presence of a blank canvas thanks to my new Aquatlantis tank encouraged me to search the web for ideas on aquarium design which is when I came across the amazing world of aqua-scaping. The landscape style designs have astounded me and I’d love to build something along these lines, but don’t think I quite have...
Aquarium Re-location
It seems to have been a week or so of re-locating ‘pets’. Last weekend it was relocating the beehives, this weekend, following on from the fish-tank leak it was time to re-locate the aquarium. Now or Never The latest news on the escalation of jobs associated with the fish-tank leak is that the new Aquatlantis Fusion 101...
