Thank you both for the replies.
Originally, I had the following layout as a basis for my own planting:
I took the figures, multiplied by three and ended up with a list that ended up with me requiring a mortgage:
Cryptocoryne beckettii 'Petchii' 15 pcs
Echinodorus 'Reni' 6 pcs.
Ludwigia palustris 6 pcs.
Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger' 6 pcs
Vallisneria americana gigantea 9 pcs
Bucephalandra pygmaea 'Wavy Green' 21 pcs
Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' 6 pcs
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' 6 pcs
Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia 6 pcs
Anubias barteria var. barteri 6pcs
Staurogyne repens 24 pcs
Sagittaria subulata 15 pcs
Microsorum pteropus 12 pcs
Echinodorus grisebachii 'Bleherae' 12 pcs
Echinodorus 'Ozelot' 6 pcs
java moss 30pcs
I've exchanged messages with @Courtneybst (thank you for your advice!) who helped me revise these figures to something akin to the following (multiples of 5 for discount from Birstall, waiting on a requote):
Cryptocoryne beckettii 'Petchii' 15 pcs
Ludwigia palustris 6 pcs.
Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger' 4 pcs
Vallisneria americana gigantea 6 pcs
Bucephalandra pygmaea 'Wavy Green' 21 pcs
Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' 12 pcs
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' 12 pcs
Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia 4 pcs
Anubias barteria var. barteri 4 pcs
Staurogyne repens 15 pcs
Sagittaria subulata 15 pcs
Echinodorus grisebachii 'Bleherae' 9 pcs
Echinodorus 'Ozelot' 4 pcs
Echinodorus 'Reni' 4 pcs.
Java Moss 15 pcs
Hopefully this will be significantly cheaper, or at least a lot more affordable and will be enough to fill out the tank.
This was my idea for a stocklist:
1x Siamese Algea Eater
6x Ottocinclus
12x Amano Shrimp
6x Blue Cherry Shrimp ?
6x Crystal Red Chrimp ?
12x Blue Angelfish
2x L144 (1m 1f)
8x Apistogramma Cacatuoides (3m 5f - want males to be 1 yellow, 1 super red and another orange)
6x C. Julii
6x C. Panda
12x Red Congo Tetras
30x Rummy Nose Tetras
30x Cardinal Tetras
This may be too much. If need be I'll omit the Cardinals and bump up the Rummy Noses (to 40-ish)... leaning more towards the Rummy Nose as my background is black and hoping the contrast makes them pop. I'll happily buy everything piecemeal. That gives me a chance to catch up on that currently exhausted credit card.
I have TNC complete at the moment, 5 liters of it. It claims I need to add 1ml per 10liters of water a week. I bought this as I thought it would last me over a year. I take it this isn't as great as I thought it was?
Thanks for your replies once again, always appreciated.
