Hello all,
New here, kept a planted community aquarium years ago, low tech. Moved into saltwater and gave that a good go and then had to tear my system
Down due to life circumstances. 12 years later and I suddenly get the urge to get back into planted tanks, but go more “high tech” I guess, Co2, led lighting, etc.
I stumbled upon Aquarium Gardens and to my amazement they are situated 15 mins from my house! From that point on I knew I wanted to emulate those beautiful planted aquariums even if on a smaller scale.
Trying to do it all on a budget is tough, and I spent a small fortune but my set up so far is
Super fish scaper 60ltr + stand (removed the rest of the kit)
EHEIM pro 4 250thermo
Strideways dual stage co2 regulator
Co2 art inline diffuser
Twinstar 450s v4 lighting
EHEIM skim 350 surface skimmer
Smart power bar for in app timers
Substrate - ADA powersand
Tropica aqua soil
Aqua soil powder
Only set it up on Saturday, substrate, hard scape, and fully planted… I was pooped after that! Now the cycle begins but everything is responding well so far. Looking forward to getting things trimmed and looking neater once it all grows in.
Cheers all.
