Afternoon all,
This will be my first attempt at a planted aquarium - I'm sure there'll be mistakes along the way but hopefully with your help I can rectify them early on and have a beautiful nano to appreciate 3 months down the line! Pictures will be up tomorrow once my parcel from AquaEssentials arrives
AQUARIUM
30cm x 29.5cm x 36.5cm
FILTRATION
Superfish Aqua Flow 50 - will most likely upgrade this along the way but to date has served me well.
LIGHTING
Built in LEDs - 33 White & 6 Blue
HEATING
Marina Mini 25W
Pressuried Co2
Yes - I have done small bit of DIY to fit it into the filter - tested it and it appears to work well.
SUBSTRATE
TetraPlant Complete Substrate 2.8kg
FERTILISERS
Yet to come fully to terms with fertilisers, I have ProFito (which I've been informed isn't sufficient for a Co2 infused aquarium) - I'm sure I'll learn all about it sooner rather than later! Plan on making up my own Liquid Co2 in the coming days. Any advice a fertiliser for my tank would be greatly appreciated!
PLANTS
Due to arrive tomorrow are:
