From Tranquility Island to A Dutch Touch [200L]

[alex08]

Hello everyone!

Parotet, it's coming. 😀

Crossocheilus, more hardscape then all of my previous setups combined, i guess. You'll see.
About the atomizer, i am going back to that, it's smaller and easier to use and clean. Will give you guys a feedback on that also. 😉

Roy, always a pleasure seeing you around. 😉

Here's a glimpse of the Valley of colors :

This tank is fantastic and the Valley of Colours looks like it's going to be amazing.

Hi Alex,

 

[alex08]

Hy guys, i'm starting a new journal for the Valley of colors setup, so i think it's time to say good bye to the Dutch Touch.
It has been a beautiful journey.

Nice pic! What's the name of the plant in it? 😉

 

[alex08]

It's Aeschynomene fluitans. 😀

Alex, I have read through your entire journal and enjoyed your stunning pictures and videos, and I have 3 questions for you:

1. What's your used substrate?
2. Is your water KH 8 dKH?
3. Do you know what's your PH drop with your Co2 injection?

Thanks and keep the great work!

 

[alex08]

Didn't use any substrate, only JBL Manado. 😉
Water KH is around 11-12, as far as i remember. Drops around 8 with the injection.
PH drops from 7,6 to 6,9-7.

Thank you for the info!

Wow, KH 11-12 is pretty hard water! Amazing growth you had. I don't know that substrate, but it looks kinda of an "inert" substrate. Is that right?

It is also compelling your PH drops just 0.6-0.7. Great job of efficiency with stunning results!

 

[alex08]

Thanks!

Yes, it is kinda of an "inert" substrate. 😀
I've also been using it in my other setup's (Valley of colors, Forest Temptations, Forest Dreams) and it all went well.🙂

You are welcome! Great to know that. Do you dose EI or anything else?
