Hello
Having planned this tank for a few months now, and saving up the money to buy resources, I figured that now would be a good time to start the journal and run through what I have so far and what plans I have.
So here goes:
Tank: Arcadia arc 35 Litre tank
Filtration Azoo mignon 240 (I would have gone for the 360 but it was out of stock) I may end up adding a small power-head with a spray bar attached to increase flow though!
Lighting: An 11 watt compact fluorescent unit (the stock lighting, or an arc pod if you please ) I realise I may need to add a little more eventually
Substrate and Fertilisation: Inert Unipac Limpopo sand for the substrate and full EI with Easy carbo as well.
flora: Microsorum pteropus on wood in the left hand corner surrounded by both Cryptocoryne Becketii and Anubias nana, some Pogostemon helferi in front of the rocks, I've considered Staurogyne but due to the low light I may use Cryptocoryne willisii for the right hand corner, and then I'm hoping to produce a moss carpet (probably Java or Flame moss)
Fauna: At the moment I definitely want some of Shrimp Kings Crystal Red Shrimp, as well as the Black variety, and maybe some blue tiger shrimp if I can find them, I'd also like to add either Boraras briggitae or Danio margaritatus.
Set up pictures and steps to follow
Cheers, Jack
