a noob tank "RTFM" trigon corner tank

[jimwalsh]

measured the output from the peristaltic pumps bang on 30ml per pump! its dosing this once a day at 4 o clock

there is an electronic timer and clock which allows a variable dose once a day

the dual pump was a bargain from ebay £40 I am well pleased

now for some auto water changer action and I can sit back and let it get on with itself!

Can someone suggest a replacement plant that has a similar leaf shape that is not quite as virulent.

Maybe some crypts there, some of them have a nice colours too to contrast with the greens!

What a beautiful tank. Reading from the start it's clearly visible how you learned as you went! I love the end result though.

got rid of the hygrophilia polysperma

 

[Gary Nelson]

It looks really nice that Jim... It's grown loads from when I last saw it! Really healthly lush plants - well done 🙂

cheers gary. I do think the shape of the trigon makes a jungle type scape easier. a more minimal scape like yours is much harder to achieve successfully. That is my next goal with this tank, but I am enjoying the scape at the moment and am a bit too busy for a complete strip down.
