Now the silly seasons out of the way its time to start my new tank
I bought the tank before christmas, with the intention of building a stand when i was off over christmas.
The tank is an aqua one cube 40
A few pics of the stand
And finally painted with tank and boyu 3x8w t5 light
Hardscape african aquarium rock and wood and a few river pebbles to bulk up substrate
Add the john innes 3 substrate
and 2kg unipac black quartz sand cap about an inch thick and fill with water(i thought i'd better check the tank for leaks at this point)
I removed any floating bits, drained the tank and started planting the carpet of hairgrass(thanks for the left overs Dan) next the 1-2 grow monte carlo picked up at calder valley aquatics yesterday afternoon
Cling filmed and wait 3-4weeks
I couldnt believe how much came in such a little pot i bought 2 and only used 1 with leftovers
These are going to dan to repair the oops in his rio 180
Just got to collect a filter and order solenoid and needle valve for my diy reg. ready for flooding in 3-5 weeks.
Thanks for looking
