Hi everyone.
Well I've finally got round to rescaping my Juwel rekord 600 aquarium (61x31x42) after moving. I have just started this new scape on Friday. I have kept everything simple this time, and I am hoping to keep this way as I still have a lot of work to do in the house. The idea for this scape came from looking at the different styles of layouts on this web site.
Here are the specs
Juwel rekord 600 aquarium (61x31x42)
Tetratec EX60 Aquarium External Filter
Arcadia T8 18" 15w Tropical Tube /Reflector (8 hours a day from 4pm to 12am )
Two pieces of bog wood
Landscaping rock from my local garden center
Graded gravel (Unipac Canterbury Spar)
Tesco cat litter
Active carbon out of my filter
Argos Play sand ( would like another side to go with this )
Plants (all Tropica plants)
Cryptocoryne wendtii ''green''
Microsorum pteropus
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv
Ferts
TPN+ 1ml a day
Easy Carbo 2ml a day
Set up
The cat litter and carbon and TNP+ tabs (which are covered up )
Top covering of cat litter and filling in with sand island
The rock and wood + Microsorum pteropus
I will post a pic of the tank today of the tank as it is now.
I would like to add another plant but I'm not sure which one to go with Pogostemon helferi or Echinodorus tenellus. I'm not after a lawn effect with the tenellus just to go between the rocks around the wood and the rock out crop. Also caught between with gravels to use. I have some 4m graded Dorset gravel but I was thinking with the white rocks with the purple / red veins of using Unipac Canterbury Spar Aquarium Gravel (http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/unipac- ... g2u3ntcaf7)
Comments very welcome and thank you for looking
