Thanks for checking in.

Well the tank was successfully torn down at the begining of nov and then moved. I quickly set it up as a holding tank until i am ready to do another idea. A new tank should arrive in a week or two. I hope to have another idea set up by feb.

In one hand i miss the nice look of the scaped tank, but right now i am really enjoying growing some different plants and not worrying about composition.

Hi Jason,

Sorry I didn't get to comment on your tank before it was taken apart it really was nicely scaped and I especially love the moss on your driftwood. What kind did you use? I recently tied some to my drfitwood and I'm waiting for it to grow out. I wish you the best with your new tank it's fun putting together a new layout. I'm working on my first scape for a low light shrimp tank. I understand what you mean about not worrying about composition, enjoy the break!

Cheers

Julie

Hey Julie,

Thanks for the kind words.

I used two mosses in this tank, weeping moss and taiwan. The weeping is on the wood. It grows down and looks cool on wood. The taiwan tends to grow up, so i used this on the rocks right behind the sand.

The break has been cool. With the help of Max, i have been learning a lot about growing some more difficult species. It has been very challanging and i still have a long way to go. Hopefully by the time i do the next layout in a few months, i should have some more knowlege to apply.

Good luck on your shrimp tank. I have seen some really cool low tech layouts. IMO, anubias and moss always look good, and then can be used for low tech.

Thanks again

Gorgeous!!! How many months of growth did it take? sigh... so pretty

Wow what an interesting perpective, I really like how bright it looks. I've been debating trying this with my 75 for a while now and just haven't got up the courage to take off my black background. I might just have to try it now. Thanks for sharing!!!
