Just thought I would share my new setup. Its an ADA 90p, which I just set up 2 weeks ago. Most of the setup is all ADA products, including all the substrate additives, ferts, soil, etc...First time using the sand forground. I will post up both pics, one is more green and one is more yellow. The green one is the original and the yellow is modified by photoshop for color. What do you all think?   |

Great looking tanks. Are those little pads of riccia lining the "walkway"? They look great.
I like the yellow picture more, btw...it's more natural since it looks like natural sunlight. | |

Bryan, I'm digging this it looks great. I'm in favor of the yallow shot too.
I'm especially jelous of yoour riccia stones. I've used hairnets and green neeting from Aquaforest but, most of my riccia usually floats away.
Give use your technic please?
Future fauna details as well? | |

Ya right that would be awesome but No. He was definitely my inspiration. Except for driftwood placement. | |

Yes they are little pads of riccia lining the walkway. This is a very Amano style of doing it. I may get tired of this quickly as swap over to a HC lined walkway. Not sure yet. | |

Well to be honest I hate tying riccia to anything. I used just plain fishing line on most of them. Just wrapped it several times. There were a couple of rocks that I used some netting type stuff on, but since I am missing a few fingers its very hard for me to sew the nets on. Easier to just tie one string after a wrap job. No real technique the riccia will usually just grow over the lines after a bit. Just wrap alot and have alot of lighting. | |
