Hi all,
This is my home office tank in a secondhand 30C. Started it about 6 months ago as a low tech. Decided to add CO2 to try and improve the growth of the “carpet”.
I am quite happy with plant growth overall. Dosing 1 ml of Aqua Rebell Makro Basic every day. The Lilaeopsis carpet could look better though. Maybe there is some emersed leaves left, I will trim it soon. Or it needs more CO2.
Of course the stem plants also need a better shape. Especially the Bacopa needs work. I actually like the Potamogeton gayi and Nymphoides in
this tank, lovely plants even though a bigger tank would be better for these.
Not much of a scape here, just a piece of Mopani wood. Next challenge will be to work a better sense of scale and depth, perhaps with smaller leaved “nano” plants and more detail in the hardscape.
Let me know what you think. And sorry for the shaky photos. Even with or without coffee my hands are not steady!
