Hi all,
I've been lurking around for a while now and have decided to upload some photos of my first proper set up, i will try and give you all the info i can, all critics & comments welcome (please dont be to harsh).
Tank : Juwel rio 125l
Lighting : 4 x 39w 156 watts total @ 8 & half hour per day
Filtration : eheim 2234 external canister
Heating : hydor 300 watt external heater @ 27 degrees
co2 : pressurised system with solenoid vavle @ 1 & half bubbles per second measured via drop checker
ferts : TPN+ @ 4ml per day, easylife easy carbo @ 5 ml per day
water condition : kh = 4degrees & gh 4degrees
Plants : glossostigma elatinoides
Fish : 3 x 10cm snakeskin discus
: 5 x red nose shrimp

Water : Pure reverse omisis with sera ph & kh buffer & mineral salts for the gh

The tank has been set up for about 2 months now with very little signs of algae, the discus were very hard to adapt to the
lower temp but have now settled in beautifully.
