I decided to finally set my 54l tank with soil. It's been running 2 years as a normal low tech.
If I catch all the shrimp today it could be today, if not ....soon. Do not expect quality aquascape. I'll plant it for long term convenience rather than fiddling with scapes plus I do not possess any aquascaping skills I just want happy plants.
Specs:
Tank 54L Juwel Koral
Light: Arcadia Classica Stretch LED
Soil: Verve fruit and vegetable planter mixed with 5-10% red clay capped with the old white sand it's already in there.
Filtration: Internal Fluval U2 450l/h and a sponge powerhead driven filter(may or may not leave the sponge filter as it gets very crowded)
Flora: undecided yet. Currently the tank has moss, small anubias, dwarf sag and crypt beckettii pink. If any room left I may add a dwarf version of crypt beckettii, hydrocolyte tripartida, ludwiga and two dwarf versions of echinodorus but that maybe a bit too much.
Fauna: undecided, shrimp, snails and something else, either ottos only or a school of pygmy corys. May or may not try selectively breed my mutated blue cherry shrimp that are popping up in another tank.
Sorry, no pictures yet.
