[Tsigania]

Hi again, it´s been some time since last post. I started this long desired low tech after moving to my new house, hope you mates like it and looking forward to recive some input!
Not quite sure on the dosing...
As you can see a piece of wood released tanins and the water is amber colour, something I don´t dislike so far.
Sory about not concealing lights and equipment but I am a lousy photographer...

The tank height isn't to small for Pterophyllum scalare?
Anyway,very natural and nice tank.Good work!

Shame on me, I am wrong again ... tank size is 150x50x40 hight being 50cm. Cheers!

My bad too,I didn't pay attention,you wrote 300 l but I see only the dimensions so I'm sorry.
