Hi everyone!
Today I order my new tank, the Roma 200.
I am keeping all the basic equipment as it is and keeping things as simple as possible.
The plan is to have 90% of the base covered in natural quartz sand with the exception of a small area in the back left corner and around the base area's of some wood I am going to use.
The wood will have microsorum tridents attached to it with some hair grass and maybe bacopa compact or some other easy grower planted sparsely around the parts where the wood goes into the sand, these small area's will have a little bit of plant growth substrate with soil powder on top covered lightly in gravel.
The back left area will have a small planted area but nothing too dense, a few crypts with hygro siamensis behind them to provide an area of cover for the future fish.
I will probably does a small amount of liquid carbon daily mainly as a deterrent to algae, with ferts I will be using tropica specialised but only dosing tiny amounts to start with and adjusting as needed.
Not a lot else for now, although later I will post a picture of the wood I will be using.
Thank you for reading.
