Hi everyone

My name's Tom, I live in Birmingham.
Before I start, I apologize for my poor English:p
I would like to present my litlle baby.
I set up this tank about 6 months ago and since then had a minor problem with plants conditions but now most of the problems have been solved especially with help of spider72 .

The tank is 250litre 100cm x 40x 60

Lighting: 3 x t5 39W Philips 865 and 1 x arcadia 39W / 9h
filtration: external aquaone 1000, internal 750l/h
Heater: 200W /temp 25 C
fert: macro -dry salts, micro- liquid micro intermag
Co2: 1,5kg bottle, ceramic diffuser and fluval 105 with bio-balls inside as reactor.
I dose fert by improved EI method

All comments are welcome

I don't know to be honest, but had to get rid of them, since they have grew up they starded fight each other.
By the way, I still have one yellow angel, if anybady interested, I would give it for free.

thanks mate, I am sure that you will do one day, with our help as I did.
 
That tank is gorgeous, but have you considered trying the red plant(rotala?) at the back behind everything? It's just an idea, it looks great as it is

Thanks. I think you mean about Ludwigia repens (red one) just behind the cuba and rolata green and ratundifolia.
Roughly every 2 weeks i have to cut out in half most od the plants, and i don't like throw them away, so I always try to put them in free space in the tank.
 
oh i have a ludwigia too, i've run out of spots and whenever i throw it away i feel sad, i'll probably start giving it away on here
