Hello guys!
I want to show you one of my setups, started in 2012, ended in 2013. It's a little bit older, I will post a new topic with my newest one, but time is killing me
I have signed up in IAPLC 2013 contest with this setup and took the 577'th place, from 2164 aquariums; a good result for me.
For the hardware I have used 4 x 54W bulbs, two Giesemann Aquaflora and two Osram 865; pressurized CO2 system with pH controller; two external canister filters: JBL e701 and Eheim 2224.
JBL Aquabasis (nutrient rich substrate) and JBL Manado.
Plants: Heteranthera zosterifolia, Rotala rotundifolia, Rotala macrandra, Alternanthera reineckii "mini", Limnophilla aromatica, Rotala walichii, Didiplis diandra, Proserpinaca palustris, Blyxa japonica, Pogostemon helferi, Hemianthus "Cuba", Flame moss, Christmas moss and Fissidens fontanis.
Live stock: Paracheirodon axelrodi and Red cherry shrimps.
Fertilizers used (besides the nutrient substrate): JBL Ferropol + JBL Ferropol24, Easy Life Easycarbo and DYI macros (completed with some Easy Life macros).
This is how I started.
After a couple of weeks, it looked like this:
November 2012
After a while, the plants were feeling pretty good
In december, the Cuba carpet was filling in nicely...
End of january 2013
And in april, the end of this setup
After I added some more red moor wood.
It seems that I should have taken the picture a week or so earlier, so the plants would have been a little bit smaller in height. But I was a beginner then (and I am still one ), so this was it.
