Hi guys
first journal here, glad it has finally happened after many delays!
Specs:
Tank: 30cm cube - superfish
Lighting: Superfish led - came with the bundle
Filter: Internal superfish aqua 100
CO2: TMC glass kit
Fertiliser: Tropica premium fertiliser
Hardscape: Mini landscape rock and driftwood (i think)
Plants: No clue what they are (it's a long story)

Some pics :D

you might notice that there is no diffuser in the tank, that is because I am waiting to buy a bubble counter after breaking my third one on Saturday, I think it might be time to get a plastic one.
also does anyone know what this is, is it a problem?

Thanks

Nice tank caleb, I would hook the co2 up without bubble counter until you have one your plants will require it for the best start in underwater life, you can use a syringe and airline to add a little tank water to the diffuser and count the bubbles there for a rough guide, it will fill with water anyway once the co2 goes off.
Thanks Tim, I will have a go at that

Thanks Tim, I will give that a go when I next do a water change
 
Small update :)
The back stem plants have grown in really well, I don't have a foreground plant still but I think the substrate is too shallow for anything really but it looks fine without IMO.
Currently I am not injecting CO2 because the cylinder ran out and I have not bought a replacement yet, but I am thinking of going on with no CO2 to keep it slow growing. Pics:

Also can anyone recommend any fish and/or inverts for this?
Thanks, Caleb
 
Hi guys, this has become pretty overgrown but I really like the look of it, I got some glowlight tetras and a couple ottos last week and I just thought I would show off some pics.

These pics were taken with a phone camera, so not great quality

Update.
This tank had gone through various stages of overgrowth, recently gave it a trim but was a bit heavyhanded on the left hand side :p
Recently there has been some bad algae problems so I'm going to empty and replant this weekend so thought I'd post the final update.

Any suggestions for new plants and a rescape would be great! :D
