Back in the game

[the-sarge]

After an absence of 10 years or so from the hobby, she who must be obeyed has given permission to bring our old 100 litre terrapin tank back to life.

I have, as most of us do, had a good old read up and jumped in feet first, and this forum is a mine of useful information.

Sooo. The setup so far...

The java fern is reasonably mature, all other planting is just a couple of days old.

The pleco has been rehomed, and livestock is now 12 cardinals, 6 glowlights and a couple of leopard cory's with 5 shrimp (cherry variants)

I have opted for eco complete as the substrate, with a jebao 503 external filter (750 l/phr).Lighting, well that was a minefield! Space above is limited so i have 2 x 15w aquarglow tubes alongside a 26w aqua one plantglo led unit (60cm)

No co2 injection. ...... for now!, as i am going with the advice from my lfs and just dosing with easy - life easycarbo and profito.

This is week 1 of planting, so i shall endeavour to create a regular record to see how things progress

Hi, and thanks.
