QUOTE(michanz @ Nov 10 2010, 01:54 AM) creatig a path or river damn easy.. Problem is how fine the two substrate are... If the white sand is finer than the soil you using... It can seep through the soil and bit by bit you lose that path...creating a GOODLOOKING path or river is not easy.. lol use like a plastic sheet or strips to laydown the pathway to seperate soil and white sand.. pour in white sand and takeaway the plastic seperator.. hard to explain.. just google "creating white sand path in aquascaping" or something sure can find journals. Darn... Bought a snakeskin guppy from Alive Aquarium yesterday, and found it dead this morning without his tail and head...  Have no idea how the hell that happened... Same thing happened to my last male guppy... |

QUOTE(crewmy @ Nov 10 2010, 10:52 AM) Thats the challenge is it? After awhile with the current tank, the hand is itchy to try something new. IMO.. google.. research everything.. then only form path then plant.. better Now, should I plant first, let it stabilized first before forming the path? Need to do some googling! Added on November 10, 2010, 10:53 am Thanks Mich, yes need to goggle... QUOTE(SweetPuff @ Nov 10 2010, 11:22 AM) You'll need to introduce new shrimps into your shrimp tank every couple of generations. Else their genes will be weak from too much interbreeding. Agree ^^Added on November 10, 2010, 11:23 am Creating is easy. Good looking one is hard. Keeping it clean will drive you crazy. |

a pond?? wow that's a new one.. for me
LOL how you guys buy plants you have in mind? Im no expert in aquatic plants so I usually just go to LFS as buy the ones that look like the ones I want.. Since if I give them the name of the plant I bet most LFS workers will get confused... |
