Hello, friends,
A week ago I moved to live into a new apartment. Since I never moved with an aquarium, dreaded the moving of the tank for a few months now. I second hand bought my old aquarium and it was not looking very attractive - scratched glass and etc. It looked really worn down. So it felt suiting to buy a new tank for a new place. Before new aquarium I was only trying to grow plants in my first tank, here is the thread for it https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/my-first-planted-tank.42944/
Now I've actually tried to aquascape for the first time in my life. I've had some driftwood on which I was growing out plants for my future tank. Also I bought +20 kg of rock for the bottom part of the tank:
I know, that it is trendy to give your tank a name, hence I've called it The rock bottom. Here is the starting out picture:
Since I am strict for not having a bunch of aquariums, I needed to move fish ASAP to my new tank. I had already mature filter and decided to use a bucket of substrate from my old tank to transfer some beneficial bacteria. For some reason as I've put first two pieces of wood (had 4 in total ) it caught my eye. I like the view already and got rid of other pieces of wood.
The water was cloudy on after filling up:
On a second day I've added fish from my old tank (schools of panda corries, neon tetras and harlequin rasboras):
Today is day 4 and the water looks quite clear:
