Hello iv been keeping fish for the last 12 year but have only recently started with planted tank previously i kept rift cichlid my first attempt was a 3ft tank based around the amazon basing witch had co2 and was dosed with jbl ferts but i had a big problems with algae after time that i did not have enough knowledge to sort this out and it took over but got a good year out of it this was how it looked
After i had shut the tank down i decided to try a marine tank but because of work issues and money this was kicked in to touch but i still had a need for a tank so i got out one of my old 2ft tanks used the lights of the 3ft 2xt8's gro glow a fluval 205 play sand lots of wood and plants from a shrimp nano id just shut down too. The idea was to create a low tek planted tank that looked good and once i had managed to do this and have no issues and healthy plants i would up a gear to co2 more light and ferts this is how it looked
After 6 month i decided the time had come to have a go at upgrading so i asked about if anyone had a TMC 1000hd gro beam as a new one was too much lucky for me i found a 3mth old unit and controller for £80 invested in some tnc complete jbl aquabasis and a hydor power head 900lph got my old co2 system out and raided my bits and bobs to make a 2ft spraybar for the fluval emptied the tank put every thing in a large vat and started a little rescape this is not the worlds most impressive tank but its my try also only i phone pics better ones to come as the tank grows
