Andy's 20g High

[Andrew Breeding]

Hey Guys,

I'm going to give my tank a face lift in the weeks to come

The tank is a 20g 60x40x35 Fluval tank

• Lighting: 1.5 wpg
  CO2: Nutrafin C02 System
  Substrate: Laterite and gravel
  Temp: 24
  Filter: Fluval +2 internal filter
  Heater: 100w

I'm going to up the wpg to 2.25 maybe 3.0 add EC and laterite and possibly try a dennerle co2 system

This is how i'm going to scape the tank (sorry for the bad picture )

Red - H. Polysperma
Orange-P. Gayi
Yellow-E. Acicularis
Green- H. Callitrichoides ''Cuba'' If 3.0 wpg then G. Elatinoides
Blue- Riccia on slate cave
Brown- Bog Wood

Fish
Not sure, suggestions?

Andy

Looks like a plan

You might find that plan a bid symettrical as far as the orange and red parts go, unless that's what you were aiming for?

Good Luck,

Tom

Hi Andy,
Looks like a nice plan. I'll have to plead ignorance regarding "latrine". Isn't that a military term? :? H. Polysperma is great for getting biomass into the tank but IME it soon becomes unruly, if not downright invasive at 3WPG. If you're headed for Las Vegas level lighting, why not take a trip on the wild side - a grove of Alternanthera rineckiii in one red triangle and P (Eustralis). stelleta in the other? 8)


Cheers,
