Hi every one
Maybe some if you have seen that my first scape ( forest of Congo ) is finish since 4 days.
I have decided to rescape it, and do a low maintenance tank.
Unfortunately the same day I have inspected the cabinet, and due to my old filter leakage the cabinet is slowly collapsing !! But I think I have 2 month to create a new cabinet and certainly a new tank because I hate the dimension of this one !
So here is the tank and the set up
Tank : 140x40x50 cm 280 L
Light : 2x 54w T5 1 Arcadia marine hybrid
1 Arcadia plant pro
Co2: 5 kg FE trough up aqua atomizer
I don't have a bubble counter or a drop checker ! I am following it by monitoring algae and with a ph meter.
Ph initia 7,3 ( degassing water ) and ph after 2 hours on is 5,7.
Filtration : 1 x FX5 +1x 1100 l/h external filter but I will remove it soon.
Ferts : EI dosing + calcium + Mg and WC 50% once a week.
Substrate : white sand from a natural source ( I have just kept the big Crystal of this sand ) and Congolese laterite. I had
This in the previous set up and it is working well so no need to change it.
I have just steer it and vacuum it the best a could.
For the plants:
Microsorum pteroptus
Anubia Nana
Crypt undulata
Cryp wendtii green
Spiky moss
Lilaeopsis NZ
Hydrocolite vert.
That's for now ! I have to make an order today or tomorrow, several crypt and other species for our pond where we grow emerge plants. It is our stock for plants.
Sorry for the long intro ! Now here is a pic of the tank.
Sorry also for the pic with material inside the tank. I was in a hurry when I took the pic !
Hope you will like it ?
And please feel free to put any comment about the scape of this tank !?
I will be very happy to have some feed back about this scape please.
To be continued
Cheers zanguli
