This is the latest creation by my brother Mike here at Gallery ADG. Drawing from his love of both Dutch and Nature Style aquascaping, plus a (perhaps subliminal) influence from the recent stunning works by the Hong Kong based Creative Aquascape Union (CAU), he composed this layout and brought it into form in just 3 short months. There are actually more fish in the tank, but being the fast moving and somewhat skiddish Danio choprae, they were reluctant to make an extended appearance during shooting.
Mike has used the complete ADA substrate and liquid fertilization system on this tank-- 1- 6 liter Power Sand SPECIAL, 4- 9 liter Aqua Soil AMAZONIA, Tourmaline BC, and Penac W and P. Green Brighty STEP 1 was used for the first 6 weeks (starting after 2 weeks) along with Brighty K. After about 6 weeks STEP 2 and Brighty K along with regular doses of ECA (full dose after water change and 1/3 dose every other day between water change) and Green Gain (full dose after water change with double dose after major trimming).
Mike will be checking in fielding any questions as well, I'm sure.
