Dear friends,
as I was not very happy with my jungle style set up:
Here just after trimming.
so
I have decided to move thing a bit:
but I have some difficulties on how to accomplish this setup, so I would like to ask for some help.
Please feel free to comment this scape and please give me some advice for carpeting plants to cover the bottom behind the crypts.
There were some algae on the root, so I have treated them with Glutaraldehide. As you can see it became whitish and hopefully will disappear in few days. I didn't restarted the tank, just have uprooted some of the plants, replant some of them and moved the root a bit. I have made 2 large WC and cleaned the filter.
The parameters are as follows:
Tank: 100 l
Lighting: 54 W T8(Silvania Grolux, Phillips aquarelle 865,) 10h a day
Plants: Rotala Green, Bolbitis heudelotii, Cryptocoryne wendtii, Ludwigia glandulosa, Microsorum pteropus, Taxiphyllum barbieri.
Ferts: EI+ Glutaraldehide
Substrate: plain sand 2 mm with a base of earthworm castings,mixed with sand in proportion 1:3(2 cm tick layer)
CO2: pressurized system, 1 b/sec for 10h.
Filter: Eheim 2213
Regards
