Hey.
We didn't get to see any pictures of you setting up the tank. Do you have any? Also, what date did you start Pinheiro manso?

Very nice setup again with the Tree scape.
Sending this tank for ADA IAPL 08 ?

Regardless if someone did it before I think this tank deserves 5 stars.

The picture of the landscape tank and nature tank have enlightened me about style.

You should fill water to the top and people will really have trouble seeing the water in photo without crop!

Well done!

FAOO-I want to ask you:what is your level of no3 in your tank?

FAAO:

Both your tanks are amazingly beautiful! 5 stars!

I especially admire the fact that you have created so much of a feeling of space/depth in a tank that is smaller than a 60-P, without use of extreme sloping from front to back. A few questions if you don't mind.

1) Do you have a rule of thumb on where put the tree in the front to back dimension to achieve the best sense of depth?

2) I am also amazed how clear the water is with a simple HOB filter. What do you use for filter media?

3) How often and how short to you trim the "grass" in the foreground.

Less than 15ppm. It depends of the day of the week

I putted it on the middle/back because the tree's base is inclined onward; with this I had more depth and more space for some rocks and foreground plants.

Nothing special! The same filtermedia that is included on the filter's package!

I only add filterwool instead of 1 sponge.

Usually once a month.

If you've more questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Is there any way you could tell me how you made that tree. What materials did you use, how to attach the branches etc
