White cube 123

[Edvet]

The old cube 123 has been converted to a more white water Southeast asian tank. I am trying out crypts in there, with a higher flow. Few large river stones. Pics will follow

 

[Edvet]

2x Stiphodon atropurpureus
1x Sewellia
Some Nerite and Sulawesie snails
Crypto's from lfs ( c.lucens, C, ballansae, C.pontederifolia, C. wendtii brown ( came as straggler in my large tank with some plants from Germany) and 2 unidentified species from the lfs.

I love it Edvet🙂 . Have you put in some sort of leaves in there for the fauna's benefit because the water is looking a bit yellowish 😳

 

[Crumbs]

That makes me nervous just looking at it haha

 

[Edvet]

Indeed it is a bit yellow, a) it's a HQL lamp with has a colour of app 3200, so quite warm. b) there was some wood in there wich left tanines. I am changing the water 10 lit per day so it will clear up in the near future.

It's awesome Edwet.🙂 I like the colour because it gives the whole thing a very natural feel.

Yeah,...if only i could reach across the screen and sort of gently place it down that table

Looking at that lamp balancing on the edge of your tank makes me squirm!! Is it clamped I hope

Some inhabitants:
Stiphodon (atropurpureus/semoni?) (2x)

Lovely little fish, they bury a hole onder a rock and dart around. They feed on mosquito larvea and algae tablets.

Sewellia lineolate (3x)

 

[akwarium]

nice fish🙄

 

[Edvet]

All the crypts are growing (slowly) with submerged leaves, so far so good. I give ferts once a week (20 cc taken from the liter i make for the big tank), light is on for 6 hours atm.

Ah fantastic my favorite fish

 

[Bufo Bill]
