Here's my latest attempt at a planted aquarium; started to plant on 28/11/18
Tank:
Aquascaper 900
Lighting:
Twinstar 900S
Filtration:
2x Oase biomaster thermo 600
Co2:
Fire extinguisher to an inline diffuser
Fertiliser:
All in one EI
Hardscape:
Manzanita fixed to a piece of slate
Substrate:
JBL Volcano mineral
JBL Volcano powder
ADA Amazonia
Planting:
Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba
Eleocharis mini
Bucephalandra
The idea is to try a dry start with just the HC and Eleocharis, see firstly how it looks and how the 2 plants grow together. Hopefully the HC will take over most of the tank and I can just have a bit of Eleocharis appearing here and there with certain areas having more than others and end up with an almost 'one chop' carpet. Depending on how this goes will help me decide what, if anything else will be added into the carpet.
Just before flooding I plan to add some Buces to the tree.
How it looks as of 28/11/18 just after planting, undecided whether to add anymore Eleocharis or not.
