'Secret Shore' - A Step-by-step Documentation
The above image shows one of my creative aquascape project "Secret Shore". This is one of my favourites among the Creative Aquascapes, I have done in recent past. Unlike, Nature Aquascapes, my Creative Aquascapes are much short-lived and being prepared for the final photo session, from the first day.

Hi Samit!
What could I said??? "Secret Shore" is beautiful.
Amazing aquascaping!
Nice plants!
Great job!
Congratulations!
I really like reading your step-by-steps, very informative. Secret Shore is one of the best I've come across in awhile.

Hi Samit
What can I say? Brilliant stuff! Any advice for a fresher? Am graduating to a 3 foot tank after keeping a 1.5 footer for over 3 mths - have a koi carp pair that keeps uprooting plants - other fishes are all well behaved and love foilage. How can i keep my plants anchored and free from being uproooted? Also is natural sand better than artificial gravel for my new tank? Please advise.
Thanks & regards

Hello Samit,
Really excellent work. I am very new to the planted aqua world. It would have been more useful if you mention your substrate, tank size, light, Co2 and dosing techniques.

Wow! Awesome! I'm looking for anyone who can share a picture of what they have done with a wall mounted aquarium. I just purchased a wall fish tank from Bayshore Aquarium and I am looking to gather ideas.
I am looking to do a salt water setup. The specific tank I got is the Mega Wall Fish Tank.
The wall aquarium holds about 20 gallons...maybe 18-19 after I put in 20 pounds of live sand and some live rock. One thing I want is a tall presentation. The wall fish tank measures 70" wide by 34" tall and is 5" deep.
Any ideas?
Amazing! Hey you know i found an amazing website as well that could provide you some insights on how to care for fishes and tips and keeping and growing your aquarium. Try this site:

Great tank man. My one question is this...How long do you let a setup like that run? I personally let my tanks get overgrown. (I'm sloppy) but you seem like the kinda guy who would keep it pretty clean. How long do you run before a tear down. Love that Hygo..Check mine out here...

Other swiss replica watch enthusiasts are absorbed in the adorableness or appearance of the device. Other data to accede if purchasing a affluence watch that can access its amount over time are its rareness, whether it is a bound or appropriate edition, its warranty, and, in the case of ahead endemic watches, if its ancestry can be traced.
Step 14 looks good, nice show of progress.
The final pic looks sort of disappointing, not sure if its too dark or just overgrown.
Interesting setup though. I'm changing my cichlid to a planted tank soon, nice site you have here.
I have many fish in my home aquarium.Thank you for this informative post.

So how is the Nike vapor soccer shoes changed? Visually. the new Vapor football boots have undergone the same new paint work as the Nike Mercurial Superfly boots and now feature the updated asymmetric, fluorescent.
I love sea creatures. I also want to own an aquarium, in fact, a neighbor sets up one and he is willing to offer me a discount if I let him do that for me, but not this time, it takes more time and effort to have one. phentermine 37.5
I am thankful to found this post. The step was so clear and I can really see how all the things are place. I will try to build my own tank using these steps. I wish that I can make it perfectly.

The Aquarium is absolutely gorgeous!
Nature aquarium began as an upgrade from an ordinary aquarium building hobby to work of art. It is where an aquarium that was originally intended for fancy fish was designed with true aquatic plants. In ordinary aquarium, the focus of the hobby is the fish, while the focus of nature aquarium is the habitat and design of the water tank. Fish tanks come in all shapes in sizes, finding the right one comes down to what you want to stock. Have a look at the 10 gallon fish tank a good source of everything fishy.
