Hi,
Came here to show our tank,
The name had a sort of inspiration on Rio Cristalino in Matogrosso Brasil, as we anted a amazonian layout but with Crystal waters. Hope you guys like it and can give us your critics.
We mounted it in September but we only started planting on October because we were waiting for the light fixture.
Still trying to get it to a state we want.
Setup:
300L Aquarium - 120x50x50
Filter JBL e1501 Greenline - 1400L/h
Heating Hydor ETH - 300w
Light Aquart - 4x54w T5 10000k; 8000k; 6500k; 4200k
Pressurized CO2 injection by TMC Aquagro 1500 Reactor
ADA Powersand Special M 6L
ADA New Amazonia 4x9L
Hydor Koralia Evolution 2800l/h
Hardscape:
2 Red Moor Branch
3 Ryouh Stones
Plants:
Myriophyllum Mattogrossense "Red"
Myriophyllum Mattogrossense "Green"
Staurogyne Repens
Didiplis Diandra
Sagittaria Subulata
Vesicularia Dubyana 'Christmas'
Fish:
Angels "Koi" Couple
Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi Couple
+/- 20 Amano Shrimps
11 Tetra Lemon
6 Corydoras Sterbai
2 Otocinclus Macrospilus
Some photos from the start of the project to its actual state:
08.10.2012
16.10.2012
Angels doing their thing
Meanwhile we had a big algae problem, that was solved by turning off two lights and reducing the photo period to 6 hours, adjusting Co2 levels and added some new plants to have more plant biomass while adjusting EI dosing.
After the algae.

By this time we got tired of HC, the tank is to big and the angels insist on pulling it up.
So we planted E. sp. Mini as carpet plant .

Hope you guys like it ... And we are open for critics
Cheers from Portugal
