Hello, this my first journal, yesterday i was given this tank & being my day off had to set it up, after a trip to TGM a few £££ later is was back home & eager to go, so i clean the tank & put in inside
then i added tropica subsrate
then sorted out my new plants, HC, Sturgoyne SP, Pogostemon helferi, hair grass & flame moss on lava rock
I then cleaned gravel & added stones, then planted the plants, heres the first scape 10 mins after water added
today one my lights broke so went to pick up a new one, came back removed all water & replanted all HC in much finer patches & moved around some stones, i will leave the scape like this now for a while to let every thing settle
