So some of you will remember me from posting here a while ago when i was going to rescape my rio 180, well ive finally got the bug again..........which i think i lost interest for about a year.
The tank is a Rio 180, i have taken the internal filter out and added an external, it keeps the original jewel lighting with reflectors also added, will be using a hydor koralia powerhead for flow purposes. The co2 system is JBL with 500g and solenoid. I will be using dry fertz.
Right now i want your help with the hardscape, this is all the rocks and wood i have, i have used 2 and a half bags of Amazonia and nile sand at the foreground. This is my first proper nature aquarium, my first effort was very amatuer indeed and hopefully this is a bit better, please give all your comments on positioning of rock and driftwood, i am open to all requests to reposition, as i am basically a noob ha ha.
With regards to planting i really want a jungle feel and helferi and hc or glosso placed in between rocks with java ferns, bolbitis , moss on wood, anubias and crypts and helferi for the background.
Now fire away im all ears, thanks in advance !!
