But the cheap version should be ok also and will dimm the T5 with curves.
Only "problem" is that we have 220V...but that is only a minor technical problem.
I will have a look at it.

Scape...well, it's almost at its peak. So...maybe this weekend some photo's. Mmm, just an ordinary naturescape.

Thanx my Friend, I talked to the Aquastar rep here in the states they don't even carry the midi, Special order, and that would cost me just as much as the pro version. I emailed two different euro suppliers and never heard back, this is the only thing holding me up right now from finishing the technical set up, then I am off to the scape of things

This is where i am at right now, Looking for the best reflectors out there Possibly T5 hqi Retro gig, with moon lighting, but I am going to mix and match the best possibilities for the lighting

I think it's possible to work with an "controller from Europe" by using a converter for 110V to 220V.
They are cheap and available in the US.
The controller works with 0 -10 V, as the Lutron EVSA's requires.
But I will inform about getting the controller working at 110V.

PJan,

it's been a month since the last nagging for an update on your latest project, so i'll start again

I also have a question, how did you do the paint work on the cabinet?
Those computer's you have, are they able to keep a certain level of trace elements in the water, or do they only automatically add a given amount of the element to the water? It's only till now i started to realise your tank is actually pretty cleverly done considering all that great technique. It would be nice to just set the equipment and futher enjoy the scape without having to measure all the water parameters constantly, praying they're okay.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello,

I would also like to know what type of paint you used for your stand ?

Thank you

I`m absolute beginner in aquascaping. I think Your tank is more than beautiful.

Wow, I just found this thread a few days ago (I guess after Ljichijana posted) and this tank is beautiful!

The colour's you've managed on the L. aromatica are very impressive and that Nymphaea glandulifera is amazing. Basically the only reason I don't let my N. zenkeri grow surface leaves is the spread on them, but your N. glandulifera appears to have most leaves going straight upward. Is this a result or trimming or tank height or is that just the way these grow?

(also posting so I can find this again - my browser crashed and my history was erased and it took me ages to remember where I'd seen this thread...)

very impressive tank. I have never seen anyone keep lotus like that. How thick is the glass for that tank?

Biboutcha · 12-30-2007, 07:33 AM

Hi PJAN,

After one year I was able to setup a tank within 6 weeks with no algae and good plant growth.

seems you know more after 3 years than me, after 8 oder 9 years. Would you be so kind to share your experience?

Your tank is simply great!

Greetz,
Mark.

PJAN, I came across this thread and all I can say is "simply stunning!"
and
where are you?, are you still on the forums?, where is the other scape you mention?
anyone know if PJAN is still around?
I hope you are...
