Hi
Here I'm starting up my first journal of my new ADA 60p, I decided to sell my my Rio 240 as it was to large in my new house and taking a little to long to keep on top of it with 3 busy children and work.
I've decide to try my hand at an iwagumi scape using mini landscape rock and Cuba as the main carpet plant. I'm hoping with a journal started I can get great advice on getting and keeping the best scape possible.
Info on my set up.
Tank and cabinet: Ada 60p & Wave high gloss white cabinet
Filter: JBL e901
Heater: Hydor 200w inline (once fitted)
Co2: Up Aqua inline automizer
Light: Chihiros a-series 601
Substrate: ADA Amaziona 9l
Hardscape: Mini landscape rock
Ferts: E.I dry ferts
It took me awhile to decide on a scape but settled on this for
Plants arrived today so I devided them up ready for planting
Filled tank up a little to put the Cuba in (hopefully no floaters)
Planting going well
Ready to fill up slowly now
All filled, no floaters yet, I thought I'd add alittle blyxa to the back of the rock and some red stems as I didn't want them to die with now tank to put them in, not sure if they will stay though yet. I may get some more grass type plant for around the rocks?
Co2 all hooked up, making a little burbling noise that I've never noticed before when using the automizer? Will tidy up the plugs on the weekend.
Full tank and side tank shot, I've dimmed the led down to 3/7 setting in till I'm sure the co2 is working properly with the drop checker tomorrow.
I want to get some clear external filter pipes next.
I'm pleased so far but opened to suggestions on the scape and set up.
Thanks for reading the intro.
James.
