Juwel 125 "Iwagumi"

[Christor]

I was last on this site in 2012, got some great help from a lot of people, but one thing or another I never got it planted how I wanted, but settled now in a new house after finishing Uni and ready to get going again!

So the gear

Rio 125
Eheim internal filter
Two T5 lights, however I have now forgot what wattage and the types, two different hues off them...no doubt a reason at the time.

Plants I have for now;

Bacopa Compact
Sagittaria Subulata
Ludwigia Rubin
Hygrophila Siamensis 53B
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis

I have two pieces of Seiryu stone (Stand to be corrected but cant find anything else close, has little white veins)

Going for a look I tried all those years ago and hopefully it will work this time! Pictures to follow as I go etc.

Anybody got any tips on lighting levels, such as how long I should keep hem on for now?

Also im planting on tesco cat litter, however dont have a soil substrate below it this time, as it smells a bit and was a bit messy.

I have easycarbo, but the stuff seems trouble and needs other products or ferts, right?

So just a few pics from tonight, not a true iwagumi, but has rocks! I was tempted to add more but prefer the plants.

Anybody recommendations on how long I should keep my lights on for?

I have easy carbon but will only add if advised on amounts. Don't have other ferts but open to suggestions! I won't be adding co2
