1x3 triple cube aquascape concept

[Rcguerra]

Awesome name

She has been shipped and is on her way to Georgia. Hopefully this will go well...

 

[Rcguerra]

Only thing missing is the clear, waterproof coat and the door handles. Delivery scheduled for this Saturday.

Subscribing to this. I'm going with the same tank you are for my desk aquarium and will be using betta as well. Your threads have me very excited for my own tank. Looking forward to updates!

 

[Rivercats]

Hope all goes well and can't wait to see pic's since she looks to be quite a beauty!

 

[Bdonaldson]

I am following to. Great idea can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Looking great so far. That female betta is very pretty.

Following...awesome betta This is really interesting...I am on the verge of planning another rimless setup, even though I am not close to done planning my current 6g lol! (MTS has hit me hard...) so this will be fun to follow along!

Due to the crazy Florida weather (thursday night below 50F), only one clear coat applied. Delivery date pushed to Wednesday evening.



After second coat, handles and door/joints are attached. Back panels will stay detached to put CO2 in/out.

50 sounds nice
Got to 20F here this winter, and that's mild!

Stand is looking good.

How is it coming?

I need the stand that was pushed to Wednesday to start the hardscape.

CO2 tank and hardware is here, and today I just got the substrates:

Why do you have organic soil with ada aqua soil?

 

[Rcguerra]

There is anoter thread about it: ADA aquasoil would do it by itself, but strategic organic soil under rooted plants will help on the long run. It is also easier to "inject" the DIY Fert capsules if you have pockets under Aquasoil.

The tank will be 80% aquasoil, with pockets of organica under specific areas.

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Okay... I learned something new I suppose. Never seen that one.. I always thought that ADA AS is very rich in nutrients. I'll be interested to see the results of your research.

 

[Rcguerra]

Learning the ways of CO2 before setting the 3 tanks...

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Very cool... I was excited when i first set up my glass drop checker. Such a simple and intriguing device. Anyway, your plants are looking colorful and happy

It is sad that my inexperience with the entire thing took me to a realm of plants that are not THAT nice in nano tanks. Most of my cryps, the (now gone) madagascar lace as well as the red tiger lotus are all beautiful plants, but might not make it to the final design.

The ludwigias are significantly more yellow. Hopefully that is a path to red.
