It's been a while since I posted a full tank shot, so here we go...
This has been growing in quite nicely for a couple of months now. No heater or CO2, so growth is nice and manageable. There's some issues with my Nesea but thanks to JamesC it seems to be doing ok.
The layout isn't finalised, as it's an experimental tank where I will implement new ideas on a regular basis.
The flame tetras seem to prefer the cooler (21-22C) water and are constantly dancing and flaring their fins.
I dose a combo of Easy Life and Tropica products.
Light is 2 x 24w T5 for 7 hours.
Filter is a Superfish Pro 4 (1550lph) with 12mm glassware (16-12mm reducers at glassware end).
Substrate is Unipac black 1-2mm with Tropica stuff underneath.
Once this has been 'complete' in a couple of months or so I will be setting a new layout using the full ADA substrate and ferts system. It's something I've wanted to do for ages and I look forward to noting any differences in plant growth, health, algae etc.
Thanks to -
Mark (saintly) for the E. tennelus,
Paulo (LondonDragon) for the Glosso,
Dan (TDI-Line) for the B. japonica and L. aromatica
James (JamesC) for the advice
Cheers!
