So I've had my tank going since the start of the year. I didn't know much about growing aquatics plants or aquascaping, so recently I've decieded to do a re-scape, this is the journal for that.
The gear;
Lights: 2x 24w T5 bulbs w/reflectors
Filter: Fluval 206 at full rate
Tank: Hugo Kamishi Manzoku, 80cm x W35cm x H53cm
CO2: Pressurised CO2 at roughly 3bps, 2 hours to green at lights on
Substrate: 2x 9L Tropica Aquarium Soil, 1x 3L Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder
Fertiliser: 5ml TNC Complete Daily (may raise to 10ml)
Flora: Heteranthera Zosterifolia x1 (back left), Rotala Green x2 (back left/middle), Rotala Orange Juice x2 (back left/middle), Ludwigia Repens Rubin x1 (back middle), Rotala Vietnam H'ra x2 (midground), Taxiphyllum barbieri x1 (hardscape), Anubias Nana x1 (hardscape), Anubias Petite x2 (hardscape), Microsorum pteropus Trident x2 (hardscape), Microsorum Pteropus AKA Java Fern x1 (hardscape), Bucephalandra Biblis x1 (hardscape), Hygrophila pinnatifida x2 (hardscape), Staurogyne Repens x1 (foreground), Rotala Bonsai x1 (foreground), Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green x2(foreground), Cryptocoryne Lucens x1(foreground), Eleocharis acicularis Mini x3 (carpet), Micranthemum Monte Carlo x2 (carpet)
Fauna: 1x Crowntail Betta, 16x Neon Tetra, 6x Threadfin Rainbows, 6x Rummynose Tetra, 6x Harlequin Rasboras, 3x Dwarf Catfish, 3x Albino Cherry Barbs, 9x Amano Shrimp, 3x Crystal Red Shrimp & 3 SAE's (may have to remove these they are getting big)
Here is what my tank is looking like at the moment:
Here is what I have at the moment as far as the hardscape goes:
I've got more redmoor on order, so will be using this to branch over the rocks I think, I still have some dragon stone left over so will add that if it's needed.
Looking forward to updating this! Cheers, H.
