I've had planted tanks for years but aquascaping is new for me and so is keeping an online journal but here goes...
I currently am setting up a 110L that was broken down for 3 or 4 years, but has now become my practice tank as I got my hands on a 284L (75g). This is the biggest tank I have ever had, so now the real fun begins since I will be setting it up from scratch and have a lot of decisions to make. I'll fill in and update the stats as the tank develops.
Tank
Marineland 122 x 46 x 53 cm 284L
Substrate
CaribSea Eco-complete planted aquarium substrate
CaribSea Super Natural coarse sand
Tropica Aquarium Soil regular and powder
Lighting
Two Finnex 24/7 CC 48" (92 watts combined)
Filtration
Oase BioMaster Thermo 600
Oase BioMaster 600
Plants
Gratiola viscidula
Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo'
Staurogyne repens
Spiky moss
Fissidens fontanus
Riccardia chamedryfolia
Hydrocotyle tripartite
Lilaeopsis Mauritius
Marsilea angustifolia
Helanthium tennellum
Eleocharis parvula
Critters
Amano shrimp
Nerite snails
I'm still trying to get together all of the substrate and some more hardscape. I thought rocks would be easier to come by on the cheap, but nope. Our natural rocks in Florida are limestone, and the garden stores don't have the right sizes. I should have all my materials together by the weekend and can play around with layout.
Cheers, Michelle
