In the previous post I showed you the result of my work with LFS Aqua Minh Long*. The whole setup is yet complete. There are some final tunings for overflow and tank stand in coming weeks.
Let’s start looking back at the point where the project started.
I had been keeping angelfish, and later Uaru in 165x60x60cm for 4 years.
December 2022 I thought I need a new tank to “refresh the scene” that I got used to. However, I had nothing in my head how I want it to be.
Early in February I contacted Minh Long owner for two things:
1. Sending me new 60cm tank and soil
2. Ordering a bigger overflow filtered aquarium. Size, aquascaping material are tbd
Same first and second week of February I got my 60cm, quickly finished scaping, cycling and planting. I was happy with new aquarium but not satisfied with lighting. I replaced it with ADA Solar RGB, but arguably I forgot the shaders. I visited local ADA reseller Viet Aqua** to get the shaders. I had around 30 minutes to talk with the owner about my new idea, and he suggested an aquarium dedicated for Congo Tetra. Bingo!
Early May, my new aquarium was delivered to my house and we started scaping. Here is how it looked. I felt it is missing the spirit, and esthetics.
So we looked for new driftwood, and got two big chunks that matched. And it looked like this.
Next step flooded and cycled the aquarium.
