After not being sure if this scape would survive my basement being flooded all winter and spring, it seems like the rain has finally let up and I am going to be able to get this tank going. I appreciate all the help everyone gave me with scape suggestions! Hopefully my tank can be half as good as everyone else's who posts here on UKAPS. I am planning on doing a dark start to avoid all the water changes and hopefully some start up algae.

Equipment:
  • Waterbox mini 16 (60x30x36)
  • Chihiros WRGB2
  • Eheim 2217 with hydros inline heater
  • Custom co2 regulator
  • a lot of ADA Amazonia 2

Love the rocky scape!
If it was me keep it short left and think about cyperus helferi/Crypto balansae to the right regarding water specs etc...

Thank you! I am excited to start this tank...I've been staring at the scape for months now wondering when the crazy rain would stop. I am still debating what kind of plants I want to get but I am addicted to stems. The last iteration of this tank was a dutch scape and my original thought was to try a Brazilian style scape but I do agree it would look good with a more traditional nature layout.
 
I was looking at the tank today thinking about fish and was wondering if I have too much flow. In the last iteration before tearing the tank down I only had shrimp and a couple Otos. The otos got used to the flow and it didn’t seem to bother them but I am planning to go with more fish this time and thought it might blow them around.

I see a lot of 60ps running with eheim 2217(600?) or oase 350s which have more flow than the 2217 but I was wondering if I should use my 2213 instead? I am thinking about some type of dwarf rainbow like a threadfin or maybe some tetras and a German blue ram for fish.

Can you adjust the flow with these filters?

I can reduce the flow using the eheim double taps. I never run the filter full flow but I’m wondering if I reduce the flow even further if it will damage the motor.
