Hellooo all,
It has been a while since I have been here. Due to studies and my job and my time, that I can spare with my family, I had no space for this up till now. 18 months of break with 1 failed DSM (due to no time) in between and I'm back on the track again.
Still with the same size of a tank, just different shapes...
So I will start this with a technical description, before I give some sneak-peak into it through very few photos.
Tank specs
Tank: 90L (60x40x40 cm)
Light: ADA Aquasky 602
Filter: JBL e1501
Additional water movement: VorTech MP10
Heater: Hydor external
Glassware: The Lily one + glass surface skimmer
CO2: Yes
Twinstar: Yes, Nano
Auto Doser pump: Yes, 3 channels
Substrate: ADA amazonia
Stones: Dragon
Wood: Yes
Plants(planned): Altermanthera reineckii mini, Hygrophila lancea Araguaia, Pogostemon erectus, Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo'
Water: RO+Aquadur re-minerals.
Plant food: EI, dosing 10ml of Macro and Micro every other day + Easy carbo 5ml daily.
Water changes: aiming for weekly 50%
Photo period: aiming to increase it gradually to 6,5-7hrs. Starting with 5hrs a day and only 1 LED bar at operation.
Live stock:
A shoal of 12 Ember Tetras
2 pairs of German Blue Rams, juvelines
5 Otocinclus
2 Amano shrimps
So, this project started back in September 2018 and initially was set to be:
My DSM with Cuba failed big time due to my busy life schedule and no time to keep up with maintenance.
Then it was left as above until now, where I finally will have more time around it (no studies in summer time and daughter will be sent off to granny's place ), and I decided to change the direction of it... Suddenly realized that plain stones and carpet is not my thing and I desire for wood and more dense planting...
Then the change happened, my Dragons Den took a different shape...
I'm still waiting for few bits and pieces to arrive from different parts of this world, but the aim is to get it planted within next 2 weeks.
Thank you for reading, and the update will follow soon..
