Just paid the deposit on a new tank - 90cm opti-white from Aquariums4Life. About 6 weeks wait now so time to order everything else.
The rough plan is a low tech river/streamish look (not high flow) with cobbles and wood and emersed growth to one corner.
Aquarium: Opti-White 90cmx45x45
Filtration: Planted Aquaclear 70 HOB (maybe an external too or a circulation pump?)
Lighting: 3' Fluval Plant 3.0 (hung or on arms)
Co2: Just the free stuff in the air
Hardscape: Mixed size cobbles/pebbles & redmoor
Substrate: Something (Aquabasis/Tropica?) capped with fine gravel graduating to bigger pebbles
Fauna: Otos, Ember tetra, Sundadanio axelrodi, C.Habrosus, Scarlet Badis
Flora: Big lilly on the left, mixed anubias/buce/ferns/moss on the wood/rocks, some crypts, and rotala at the back
Emersed: HOB+Breeder Box to create emersed planters in the right corner
What I have (like my cardboard mockup?):
What I plan:
I'd love any feedback you have, still at the deciding what to order stage so better to tell me it's crazy and won't work now
