My Four Foot Minimalist Tank Journal - Stage 2

Blogged: 14/12/2011

Christmas is almost upon us and it's definately time for me to update my minimalist tank journal with Stage 2 - Cabinet Stand
Next on the list is lights and filters.. who knows, maybe Santa will give me a couple of nice Ehiems this year.

I'm sure by now you've seen the AGA Aquascape results. I don't know if there were any Kiwi scapes this year, but the scapes were amazing scapes as always.  Here are a few of my favourites;

My Four Foot Minimalist Tank Journal - Stage 1

Blogged: 08/05/2011

Check out Stage 1 of my  four foot minimalist tank stand.  Ive put my ideas on paper and come up with a really slick design for the tank stand.  I'm hoping to pick up the timber next weekend and get started.  I'll be regularly updating the progress so join up my facebook or twitter page to get a message when I've updated these pages.  Also, Siaks busy finishing off his scape interview which I hope to have up in a couple of weeks.
I've also decided to streamline the site a bit and have changed the way I'm going to do the guides section.... I'm getting closer to being able to get the shop up and running..don't hold your breath for this section, but who knows... miracles can still happen.
Catch ya later - Peet

 Siak Weo Yeo

Blogged: 20/04/2011

At long last we are back again... well almost.... I've finally managed to haul my tank out of storage 2 years after moving back to New Zealand and am about to embark on my minimalistic/ADA style white tank stand as shown in the adjacent picture.  I'll be providing in-depth details on its construction and later on its scaping.  I hope to have it ready for the AGA 2011.... but the time frame is a bit tight for growing in.... can't wait to get it going.

We also have an interview with Siak Wee Yeo from Little Green Corner coming shortly.  He won best of show and 1st place for medium sized tanks in the AGA 2010.... should be some great inspiration for scapers.

See ya back here soon - Cheers - Peet..

ADA International Aquatic Plant Layout Contest 2010

Blogged: 14/04/2010

Hi all, this year ADA is holding the 10th Annual International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest . There have been over 8000 entries from 62 different countries since the competition began.
 ADA have contacted Lumersion directly and advised that they have never received an entry from New Zealand and would love to see a kiwi aquascape in this years event.

The challenge is out.......  is anyone game enough to enter their aquascape and become the first kiwi in history to participate in this prestigious event.

Entries close 31st May, which means you'll need to get your act together. Follow the online application links above to enter.  Check out previous event winners to see the kind of quality the ADA judges will be after.

I reckon we need to get a prize together for the first kiwi entry. I'll have a look into this and post something soon.


Lumersion Launch

Blogged: 28/03/2010

Welcome to Lumersion, New Zealands first dedicated aquascaping site. This is the first edition of what we hope will  become one of the best sources of aquascaping and aquarium plant information on the web.

What will I find on this web site?

  • Aquatic plant and aquascaping information.
  • Interviews with top international aquascapers.
  • Plant, Animal and Equipment guides and DIY plans.
  • Access to quality aquascaping equipment and plants.
Content on this site will be added in a blog-like fashion, so keep checking back for updates or better still, join our Facebook or Twitter pages to receive update notifications.

Ultimately, we hope  this site will encourage more kiwis to join the world-wide phenomenon that aquascaping has become.

Happy Scaping - The Lumersion Team
