Hi, this is my first planted tank.
Just over 2 months old, not been without is issues, constantly learning!
Equipment- Waterbox clear mini 10, Seachem tidal 35, Fluval M50 heater, 15W Amazon floodlight with home made steel bracket (left rusty on purpose, felt it was a bit more natural).
Substrate- Fluval stratum, ADA aqua gravel, Dennerle rio xingu and aqua substrate pewter sand.
Hard scape - Corbin catfish root, Frodo stone.
Plants - Glossostigma, Eleocharis acicularis mini, Staurogyne repens, Cryptocoryne albida brown, Cryptocoryne x willisii, Bucephalandra kedagang, Anubias barteri var. nana, Hygrophila pintafila, Java moss, Java fern, Trident fern, Siamensis 53B, Limnophila Sessiliflora, Cryptocoryne balansae, Salvinia and Red root floaters…..think that’s it!
Livestock - I started off with some Platies from another tank but they were taken to my LFS.
I now have 10 Ember Tetras, 2 Honey Gouramis, 1 Otocinclus , 4 Amano shrimp and a scattering of Ramshorn snails.
Few pictures of its journey.
