Fall air and relentless rain has made me fall in love once again with the tank and everything related to it. My wife says I’m so predictable...
As for the name of this journal, this aquascape gave me a sense of somberness ; burnt trees , empty branches etc.
Transforming this into a bright, green place full of life will feel like redemption.
I took down my old 60p (old journal here: Edge of the Jungle).
Got a new 60p and inserted it into the wall where the old one was.
Light: Chihiros RGB Vivid 2
Filter: Eheim 2217
Glass: CalAquaLabs x1 and F1 inlet and outlet. They’re the smallest pipes I could find and I’m loving them.
Soil: ADA regular and powder type
Wood: Manzanita branches
Rock: Mexican pot rock
Co2: pressurized with Aquario Neo in tank diffuser
Plant list:
-Glosso
-MC
-Anubias
-Bolbitis
-Pinnatifida UK
-Hygro araguaia
-Weeping moss
-Ludwigia arcuata
-Rotala Wayanad
The plan was to keep the hardscape as simple as possible this time around and clean looking. Nothing like my old scape.
Then cram in there as many plants as possible.
So until my light gets here on Wednesday, I flooded the tank so I can get as much ammonia and tannins possible out through water changes...and boy is this manzanita leeching out tannins..
Anyway, here’s a pic of the scape with a weak bulb I had laying around.
Enjoy!
