Following on from my intro I thought I'd post up my journal and see what everyone thinks. I'm in no rush as I want to do this right so this thread will probably be a slow work in process. I'll probaly be asking loads of stupid question so please bear with me. I was initially going to try a dragonstone iwagumi scape, I started with the intention of buying loads of stones and then selecting the ones I liked. The only thing was I liked all of them so most of them are in the tank so I don't know what you would call it. My setup is as follows:
Juwel Rio 240 tank
Substrate is Ada Amazonia aquasoil
Stones are dragonstone
Hydor 300w heater
all pond solutions 2000ef filter with supplied spraybar
Lights are to be confirmed but will be using the standard lighting unit
Co2 will be from a fire extinguisher and controlled by a co2 art kit and diffuser
I'll be dosing with ei
Livestock will probably be a few tetras and a few shrimp
I haven't decided on plants yet but was planning to use one type. I'd love to try hc Cuba but I know I'm not experience enough yet to try so I was doing a bit of research on Monte Carlo, would this be a good plant to try or what would you guys recommend?
Below is a couple pics of a layout I have in the tank atm. I'm happy enough with it as a first attempt but I'd really appreciate some feedback/critic if I could change anything. I'm happy to change anything as I want this to be done right from the start
