Hello everyone - here is my new aquascape. It has been running for about a month. It is mid-tech (if I can coin a new phase) neither hi or low tech but it is low light. It had a major anubius melt at its inception and I lost tonnes of anubius. It is a juwel vision with the internal, a jbl e1501 and a koralia pump. Any suggestions on how to hide the filter intake? It is mainly java fern, rotala species green and crypts. I have a bazooka running the co2 at 2 bubbles per second. The lighting is low - the original 2 t8s with no reflectors. I would appreciate some feedback.

Yes with Nemo and a Ninja Turtle (who love algae apparently) -

I would get rid of them if I could!

Thank you - good idea - I might paint the back with black acrylic when I get a chance - i think it might hide the intake a bit better. Ive tried both chocolate and ice cream but both only last a few minutes and as the saying goes - eaten food is soon forgotten

Hi Halley, Better to use art cardboard The Range stocks it in lots of colours 80cm x 60cm boards ;) Big plus you can change the background colour when you want :)
Better than painting the glass.
 
Yes that makes more sense - i will try to find some - thank you

A new pic - i added 10 praecox rainbow fish but they are a bit bland - i heard they colour up as the get older. Also added some orange cherry shrimp.

Plants have grown in well with only 2 t8 bulbs used with no reflectors. I think low light, the right plants and some co2 is the key to a good, low maintenance planted tank. However, I am still flummoxed by the persistent melting of my anubius
