Hi all,
Have joined the forum after a few weeks of researching on this forum and there's a hell of a lot of good info on here.
Well a little about me and my tank
Well I am 23 live in Leicester and have been keeping fish for over 3years now started of with a 100l tank, a few plants but was very low key setup.
When me and my partner moved house we come across a five foot tank and fell in love. So this tank has been setup from May this year it's approx 400l.
I have tetra substrate and coco peat, topped with sand. Some bogwood and rocks.
Quite a few of plants when I find my list of then will write them down.
I have 2x80w t5 light and a 36w t8
Lights on for 10 hours
T5s on from 13.00-2100
T8 on from 12.00-13.00, 16.00-18.00, 21.00-22.00 then lights off.
Filters I have an APS 1400lph and a rena xp4
Using ei salts ferts
And using double dose of easy carbo (I am waiting for my partners bother to get my a pub co2bottle then will have pressurised co2)
At this moment in time I am not really happy with the look of it. Got a bit of algae that I am battling with. I managed to get BBA under control. So hoping that when I get my co2 on the go all will be a lot better.
So looking forwards to gain a lot of knowledge from you knowledgeable people
Many thanks
