*Updated equipment list 23/12/17*
First off, don't expect good photos (they look like they've been taken with a potato), clever aquascaping or a green finger, I possess none of this
Initially this was supposed to be a low tech build, however i'm probably going to go for a medium / high tech setup.
Equipment so far :
Aquarium - Fluval Roma 90 (60l x 35w x 45h)
Filtration - Eheim Professional 3e 700
Heater - Hydor 200w external
Lighting - Ecotech Radion XR15FW x 2 running the freshwater planted template. Kessil A160 tunasun on a timer for 2 hours at midday.
Substrate - ADA Amazon 12l soil and ADA Amazon 3l powder
Hardscape - No hardscape.
Maintenance regime -
50 litre water changes (tap water) twice a week, treated with Seachem prime
TNC complete fertiliser (10ml) added daily
Easylife easy carbo (liquid carbon) (5ml) added daily
Easylife ferro (iron supplement) 1.5ml added daily
Still to purchase :
- Reefloat automatic water changer
- Ectotech Vortech MP10QD
- Ecotech Reeflink

This has changed a bit :
So today I added plants and honestly it was a total disaster as it looks awful and over-planted. Way too many varieties. The Alterna Reineckii was a particularly poor choice and will be removed ASAP.
The plant list is as follows :
- Rotala Wallichii
- Hygrophila Polysperma
- Hydrocotyle tripartita 'Japan'
- Cryptocoryne Willsii
- Cryptocoryne Wendtii
- Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
- Cryptocoryne Becketii
- Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink'
