180l low tech

[Kerryn]

I have moved the wood forward and replanted some of the clump further back. How does it look? I can’t make my mind up as I am very indecisive over this sort of thing!

The floaters very quickly cover 100% of the surface as you can see, can this cause any issues?

Thanks all.

i think you need another piece of wood to make it look more dominant. the tank looks lovely though , 100% floaters just means less light to the plants beneath, also they can take up nutrients pretty fast, so you should keep them thinned out somewhat.

I’ve been after another piece for a while but just can’t find any that are big enough without having sections that are really chunky. Thanks! I will keep thinning back then, maybe try to keep them more like 50%.

Sorry to say, bit in my eye that big white goerami messes up the scale a bit, just the small ones would look better

Looks great.

Funny you should say that Edvert, I had to take one back to the shop as he has been nesting for the last couple of months and terrorising the rest of the tank. The two that are left aren’t as bad but still are a bit aggressive so I will probably get rid of them as well.

They started small but have grown really quickly. I think I might get some honey gouramis instead.

Update:

I have tried a few different plants but none of them have taken hold, other than that I have pretty much left the tank to it. It looks a bit overgrown but it is very low maintenance and very stable so I will try and keep it that way!
