Yikes! A journal on UKAPS... !!
Well, I'll need the help more than anything, so here we are (*please note any photos will be crap*)
Tank: ADA Mini M 36x22x26cm
Filter: Eden 501 Mini External
Lights: Boyu 3 x 8W T5 (to be run with 1 x 8W 6500k)
Substrate: Columbo Florabase (black)
Decor: Redmoor/mini landscape rock
Flora updated:
Bolbitis heudelotii
Juncus repens
Microsorum mini
C. nevillii
Weeping moss
Echinodorus tennellus
Ludwigia repens
Didiplis diandra
Ammania sp bonsai
Ludwigia sp Atlantis
Fauna:
RCS
1x Zebra nerite
1 x ramshorn (uninvited, but a pretty little fellow so can stay )
Inspired by a lot of you with the rock/stone layouts, and Pedro for the red background
Stand/tank/wood shortly before going upstairs into the missus's office:
Hardscape in:
I understand there are probably aquascaping rule 'fuax pas' present, but i'm working with what I had kicking around and really not that fussed! Plus I like it
Currently trying to compile a list of easy to easy'ish plants that will survive/thrive in Yorkshire medium hard tapwater, no CO2 addition and occasional ferts plus lighting around 0.4w/litre. Some ideas I have are:
Background - Bolbitis, Juncus repens
Wood/around the wood - Microsorum mini, C. nevillii, C. moehlmannii, Weeping moss
Foreground - Lobelia cardinalis dwarf, maybe Sag subulata or Echi tennellus.
I'd also like a small compact stem in there, tempted to try Ammania sp. bonsai as I've read it can grow low tech and slow bothers me not, although I see a lot also fail with this even in high energy.
Any glaring cock ups in the making i'd love to know! (i'm pretty new to all this!)
Cheers,
Rob
