Thinking this is the time to start a journal for this as its been setup for about a month and a half. Just to note I did have cycled media from the start.
This was when all the hard scape went in:
This is it today:
Tank: Fluval 90
Lights: Original light that came with the tank 12watt on 60% and a JBL Led Solar Natur 24watt on 40%
Filter: Oase FiltoSmart Thermo 100
Co2: Tropica Nano system connected to a solenoid (1 bubble every 2 and a half seconds)
Plants: Echinodorus Parviflorus, Anubias Bonsai, Java Fern Narrow, Bucephalandra Kedagang, Vallisneria Spiralis, Fissidens Fontanus
Please excuse the snails on the front glass as I've recently had a bit of a a outbreak with them and they need sorting, i do like snails but not to a extent of where there starting to take over.
I currently have a pair of Aphyosemion australe (Lyretail Lillifish) and 10 Blue Dream Shrimp which should hopefully be more soon, as i have one very heavily buried female and also another that is starting to show eggs, also two Nerite snails. It gets two pumps of Tropica Specialised Nutrition which ive been adding the past two weeks, also Co2 has only been setup two weeks also.
Stocking wise its going to be pretty low, I know it probably won't be to everybody's taste but im looking forward to this getting quite overgrown and taking on a wild look, first time i have ever used botanicals too.
