Hi to everyone and a happy new year. As promised a few photos of the neons. Tanks had a bit of a trim and thinned out a lot of the largest sword leaves that we're growing over the top and coming back down the front
Whilst off over Xmas I've set up a little fluval edge 23l that I got for £15 on a Facebook selling site. Filthy when I got it, they had 2 goldfish in it in the kids bedroom. Thoroughly cleaned it and changed the light unit to a 48 led one from the 46l edge ( straight swap,thanks son for the Xmas present)
Substrate is JBL Manado (had some left over from the Jewel 180 set up)
Changed all the media in the filter .
Got some rock from MA in Wembley and some Anubis nana Bonzai and Echinodorus Radicans which I now think will be to big.
I want to keep it low tech so I will be adding ferts and easy carbo and see how it goes.
If any one has any ideas on really small easy growers it would be appreciated.
Not going to over stock with fauna but I really fancy a blue Siamese fighter.
I wanted to put a fighter in the big tank but someone told me that its not advisable with shrimp !!!
If anyone can enlighten me on this it would be appreciated
Anyway some very early photos of the tank so far, will probably start a journal on this one as well
Cheers
Martin
Hope you all have a great New Year
Happy Scaping 2013
