Mr Aqua 3g Long - Rimless FINALLY Planted!

[Nils]

I don't even know what to say That is an amazing scape. Probably the best one I have seen on this site so far. I'm jealous I'm no where near what you do with planted tanks. That's a contest winner right there.

Thanks, Nils.. Really kind words, appreciate that. I think it's alright, I could've done better if I didn't rush it. But I'm satisfied overall. Certainly a fun little kit.

Got a few spotted pygmy rasboras

A tank that lives up to your name! I like how you just magically throw together a beautiful tank. Those pygmies compliment the shrimp.

The fish definitely confirmed this for me!

OUTSTANDING!

Thanks, Fresh! You could probably fish these guys out and mash them into Bagoong. Haha.. But seriously, appreciate the love here!

Thanks,
Joey.. Good to see you back on AA. Glad you ventured out of the SW boards to remember us planted tank folks.

These are my first Boraras species, and although I've read they should be kept in 6 or more, the 3 are doing quite fine and seem happy..

Mine are totally not shy at all. I guess the LFS got them used to people and an association with food. However, I have to stop filling my tank close to the top because one rasbora thinks its a salmon and swims against the current up into the filter. Luckily I have a sponge that's pulled up to block it from getting pulled all the way in. Lol.. Had to fish him out twice! That little bugger!

My flame moss lawn is growing, looking more like a lawn. I'll post update pics later this week.

Reading from the top I thought, "ok, this is a pretty nice tank. Not great but nice..."

Then I saw where it had cleared up and I was blown away. Absolutely spectacular build! I love everything about it. Well done, sir!


Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

Where was this hiding - How did I miss THIS???!!!

The rock you selected is outstanding.

Really beautiful - even though you just threw it together!!! I am getting inspired.

Yes, outstanding hardscape. Living vicariously through this build.

Thanks, Sk3lly.. I just have to stop being lazy and get my other tanks cleaned up, especially my 60p. They're looking "rubbish" ATM! Haha yes, I'm a lurker on your thread.

Ohko is definitely worth the hefty price tag. So much character in every stone. Seiryu is close with the crevices.. But ohko doesn't affect water chemistry.. It's a definite go!

Really appreciate that, RadMax! Love your forethought before the updated pics. Haha

Thanks, Autumn! Please do let me know if you get inspired and start a build. I'd LOVE to follow
