OK so this is going to be my first serious attempt at a fully planted tank. I am on a very tight budget since I'm living on a student loan. so its going to be slow progress, I am currently just collecting bits as and when I have the money.
so far I have my tank, a clearseal 30x15x12 tank, a Eheim 2215 (currently running on my 10g fish only tank) and a heater (also on my 10g)
As I am on a budget the stand and hood are being made by me, out of odds and ends I already have in the garage.
so far I have got the weight bearing frame built. No laughing at my DIY skills, computers at electronics are my thing not wood 🙂
Next it is going to be faced in MDF then sealed and painted, total cost of the stand and hood will just be the sealer and paint.
I have some akadama on the way for the substrate, and that's about it so far. I will keep the journal updated as and when things happen but it will slow going.
