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...
Hardscaping
Well, after my usual early start with a hard hill rep run, swim and then a cycle in Machynlleth, it was back home for a well earned bacon sandwich and then back to the creation of my aquascape. First job was to spend an hour or so scrubbing all of the rocks we collected yesterday....

Plans for an attractive Orinoco River Basin Biotope Aquarium

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...
Beehive Re-location
After a morning of training on Sunday, we had to move a couple of our beehives. The out Apiary in Llandre where we had been keeping them was due to have some building work nearby and the bank that they were on needed some stabilising work carried out in order to allow access to the building...
