Hey Guys, I'm back after a few aquascaping distasters, I've taken my time planning, done alot of research and saved up some money and i'm ready to go.
I apologise in advance for the poor photo quality, it's on my list of things to sort out.
I absolutely love Iwagumi and Dutch style aquascapes and in this scape I'm going to try and have a bit of both, probably not the best idea for a beginner, but i'm feeling a bit more confident this time round.
1. Tank is A 98 ltr, nothing special really It's an old one I had lying round.
2. Substrate ADA Amazonia + some Africana that I salvaged from a prev' attempt.
3. Co2 (pressurised and fully automated). dosing 1 mil easy carbo aswell.
4. Filter - All Pond Solutions 1400EF.
5. Lighting - Standard 1 x 24w with reflector + on a timer, 6 hour photo period (lighting levels will be increased after the initial break in).
6. Hardscape - Black lava rock (from green machine).
7. Will be EI Dosing but no nutrients for the 1st 2 weeks (small amounts at first and gradually increasing)
8. ---------------------Flora:--------------------
Tropica 1-2-Grow Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'.
Tropica 1-2-Grow Eleocharis sp. 'mini'.
Tropica 1-2-Grow Staurogyne repens.
Tropica 1-2-Grow Nymphoides sp. ''Taiwan''.
Hygrophila sp. ''Araguaia''.
Tropica 1-2-Grow Pogostemon erectus.
Diamond Red.
9. Fish/Inverts Still undecided, probably some Otocinclus, Cherry shrimp and Amano shrimp.
This is what I have so far not much to go on at the moment but plants arrive wednesday so watch this space.
As usual any advice/criticism is welcome
