Have been wanting to do another shrimp bowl, and found a great deal on some Crystal Reds.
So dug out one of my Glass Bowls to use.
Now in preparation of a new scape, I have been experimenting with plants.
Took a Large Wedge of HG and Chucked in with the Paradise Fish outdoors, and left it floating. This has become a lovely raft of HG and sent out lots of new shoots. I really like how this has turned out, so using this as a ready made carpet to cover the base of the bowl. Used a Little Coral Sand, as did not want alot of substrate.
And Decided to redo the Pico External I made a while ago for the Barren tank.
Decided to Mod the inlet, so added a Tpeice as the joint to distribute the water more inside the canister. Then Glued a Planting Basket into place, to stop the filter media from blocking the inlet.
Used mature Ceramic Media mixed with K1 media, topped with Filter Floss.
For now just a few pix of the Mod to the filter, Pix of the Bowl will follow over the next few days. As a few plants coming in to finnish it of, A few Mature Willow Moss Rocks and some Peacock. And that will be it for Planting. Still have a packet of Co2 tablets left over, so going to use those and add a few liquid ferts.
