Hi guys!
I'm getting back into the hobby after about 8 years without aquariums. I wanted to start out without investing too much so I've bought an Azoo Flexi-Mini (31x21x24 cm, 16 litres, 150 l/h HOB filter and 7 watts LED) with a tropica nano CO2 system and a cal aqua CO2 checker. The substrate is a bit over 3 litres of tropica aquarium soil powder (I know it's a bit high at the front, will try if I can siphon some out). Hardscape-wise I've used Red moor wood and Loa rocks (from aqua-sabi - it's a type of lava rock with a really nice texture).
Plant list
Foreground: Glossostigma elationoides, Eleocharis acicularis 'mini'
Midground: Riccardia sp. 'Chamedryfolia', Bucephalandra sp 'Braun-rot / Serimbu' and 'Lamandau mini red', Hydrocotyle cf. tripartita 'mini'
Background: Myriophyllum 'Guyana'
I'm a bit unsure about having two species of foreground plants. Maybe get rid of the glosso and allow the hydrocotyle to mix a bit with the Eleocharis? Feedback is very welcome. Oh, and do you have any suggestions for livestock?
