Ok this is my latest attempt to do a planted tank. I bought a Fluval Ebi as I was keen to to have a shrimp tank.

Tank first setup

Then I added some Staurogyne which I got from a UKAPS member

Then added a few Seiryu Stones which I got from Westyggyx

Followed by gUSH nano drop checker

CO2 is coming from the Fluval 88, into nano diffuser also from APF :)

Comments welcomed :D
 
Looks great Paul are you getting some taller plants for the back or keep them all low growers? that gush drop checker looks great!
 
Cool. I am considering getting one of these. What would you say are its plus points and what are the downsides ? Is that the fluval substrate they come with or have you put something else in its place?

Love the tank, nice size. I want to change the filter (to external with glass on) and it doesnt come with a heater. Yes its the Fluval substrate, plenty of opinions on it but I have had no issues and my cherries have bred at least once.

Cool thanks. What is the light like ? What heater did you opt for ? Ive seen those little thin things. Any good ? What external would you put on it ? A little eheim ecco ?
 
Light is very good, plants growing well.

I have an old Fluval 204 in my garage which I will use but only once I have glass for it. If I was buying new yes an eheim ecco would be on the possible list.

As for heater I had a small one from another Zolux nano which is there for now but will be getting one of those thin ones with temp control on it at somepoint to.

Nice tank mate, very nice. :) The co2 setup is excellent. Very inspirational. :)
 
Can't wait to see what happens with that orb and the HC. Great idea mate.
