As the title sounds 3 foot, 170 litre/40 gallon, live planted, fresh water. Feel free to submit questions and pictures, I'll do my best, but will also refer elsewhere if I'm not confident to answer.

The Fluval 206 is working absolute wonders. So stoked.

All this frogbit started as one three leafed plantlet two months ago.

It’s so cool how fast they grow.

So happy with the new purchase! Extremely easy to set up and is working like a dream.

A very minor rescape yet again! Also did some cosmetic cleanup in the 40 gallon, which meant removing all leaves that offended me: lots of hard dark algae covering certain plants. That little cryptocoryne undulata to the right of the dwarf sagittaria/in front of the driftwood is starting to fill in, yay!

Yes, I do a trim every week because I have problems. I guess?

(Ignore the atrocious audio, no one wants to hear that…)

Easily one of the best ways to relax.

Woah Tumblr, it’s been a while! Tanks looking pretty bare after a massive cut back. Changed a few things around, so I’m excited to see how it grows out. Hope you are all happy and healthy!

My wysteria has absolutely taken over! Any tips on how I should go about trimming it/controlling it? @jayce-space @aquarium44

Thought i’d show the 3fts humble beginnings……The tank is now approx 5 months old

it’s so amazing! that red lotus at the corner is stealling all the atention haha! what carpeting plant is that?  :o

[becleefishkeeping]

Thank you :)

I love the lotus, never had much luck with them before, but they seem to love this tank :) The foreground plant it Hemianthus micranthemoides (HM/Pearl weed/Pearl grass)

@becleefishkeeping i have a question , how do you clean under the sand with all those little plants all over the bottom ? that’s one thing i could never figure out .

[becleefishkeeping]

The substrate does not get vacuumed, only thing done is water changes. Anything under the plnts will break down and get used by the plants themselves :)

This is definitely one of my favourite EVER Aquascapes. So unbelievably good. And seeing the way it has grown out is amazing too.

Busy morning working on my tanks. Trimmed the Java moss in my shrimp tank and re homed it in my main tank. I'm still not happy with how my shrimp tank is looking. I think I would have been better of leaving the Java moss on the outside and cutting it away in the middle. Too late now! I attached some of the Java moss onto my driftwood in my main tank and also planted some in the gravel in an attempt to begin a nice carpet. Water change also done on both. Now onto assignments! Fwuuuuuuu...

[aquariumrookie]

Java moss has grown out so much! Need to trim and replant in my main tank. But 1. How do I do that in a way without killing the baby red cherries in there? 2. What's the best way to go about tying Java moss onto a piece of driftwood? Cheers guys in advance! @jayce-space @aquarium44

One day I’ll have a custom tank… First is a 4x4x2 (240)and the other is a 12x8x18" (approx 1000 gallons)

[aquariumrookie]

Update on both my tanks. Shrimp tank needs a clean, so much algae.

Beautiful planted tank for a Betta with simple plants: Christmas Moos, Microsorum pteropus trident, Hygrophila araguia, Anubias barteri nana.
