My first proper planted tank after experimenting with a biorb.
20l Dennerle cube kit, inc. their deponit mix substrate, led light and corner filter. Interpet nano heater (mostly to keep the shrimp warm - house gets pretty cold).
Two bits of bogwood leaning against each other (pretty stable), few bits of Dragonstone.
Anubias nana coin
Bucephalandra
limnobium
Couple of crypts
Hydrocotlye leucocephala
Some moss
Plant choice intended to be easy, small and low energy - but partly determined by what was in stock...
Planted about 6 weeks ago, left for the first two, then 50% WC weekly (rainwater remineralised with Salty shrimp + some tap). Minimal trimming apart from the limnobium which has grown like mad.
Shrimp moved over about 2 weeks ago, and now algae is settling down. Shrimps are now a great colour!
Everything seems to be growing pretty well now - I’m feeding with a bit of Aquascaper every couple of days. Some of the anubias leaves suffered and needed to be removed. I wondered if it is because it’s so near the light, but the new growth looks happy enough.
