My Photography
Off topic post, recently a bit active in photo shooting more than aquascape. The reason why I do that is to understand the nature, like Mr Takashi Amano does. So is a helpful skill to develop our aquascaping and some nature behaviour. The place I am staying has such a limited stone scape, but worth for deep in study of the formation. If you like my photography, please drop a 'LIKE' on my link. Thank you very much.

Grown Up

Is the end of August, I wasn't spared a lot of time for my aqua plants in August, just top up water & added some liquid fertilizer in alternate day. I am waiting for the hair grass to cover up the whole foreground, and overall I am happy with the so call 'healthy' plants. Still has some green algae on the rocks, but really looks like the natural environment. But the Pelia in my tanks wasn't do good because of the water temperature quite high at 27~28dC, if the Pelia unsuccessful plant in the tank, I will get back the moss to tie on drift wood or hang at the background. For a low tech tank is consider good enough.

Result of 2010 ADA International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest

Congrats to those winners, surprised me that 2010 ADA International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest has 1819 participants all over the world. Compared to last year only 1342 applications. Too bad that I didn't manage to join for it, but I am ready for the year 2011. I think it is getting tough for the coming years, because more and more good design/layout done by the aqua hobbyist.

Here is the world ranking lists, if those didn't manage to get it can download from here.

New plant added!

Just bought some 'Pelia' & tied on the drift woods, at the moment still looks good, but later when growing up, totally I have no idea how will it be, and because this is the first time I am keeping some 'Pelia' in the tank. I need to do more research on this plant to maintain it in top condition, and do hope that I have more time to do so.

Update my tank photo

It has been nearly 3 months I'd never update my tank, and also lack of time to take care of it. Just trimmed off the plants & clean up the tank, even the scape also a bit messy. But 1 thing I like the the grey stone has grew some green algae on it, really natural look. Planned to add on some stone in someday, and the hairgrass has some hair algae grew on it, I am not really scare about that when the whole system well maintain and it will slowly get away. Nowadays only dose ADA Brighty K, Seachem Flourish Excel & Flourish Trace.

The tiny Pogestemon Helferi "Downoi" is grow up a lot, now is the time to wait for it to grow more babies.
