After starting out with a 60 liter tank, I changed to this bigger tank.
It has change quite a bit, but finally I begin to feel that I am on the track of something that could get really good.
After I have some spots now where I can ad plants, and I will be really happy if you would take the time and give me suggestions, as I have learn a lot from feedback before. So critique, ideas, changes, or plant suggestions or swaps would be really appreciated.
This is my 128 liter tank.
Running about a year.
Substrate is, layers of peat, Rexolin APN (micro), red clay, capped with gravel.
No CO2, but will be adding pressurised CO2 within a few month.
Liquet carbon, (Happy Life) 4 ml pr day,
Light: Odyssea vivagrow 60, and 1 very old T5 tube. Approx 9 hours pr day.
Plants: Hornwort, Rotala Indica, vallisneria, 2 or 3 kinds of Anubias, a little S repins, a little christmas mos, Cryptocoryne affinis and another crypt.
My own thoughts:
I will be very happy for you to share your thoughts , and what ever suggestion.
(Sorry for the bad picture, it will clean up glass and take some better pictures soon)
Thanks

My own thoughts:
- Make some white background with light at the bottom.
- Grow the Hornwort (back LH corner) to a dense green with Rotala indica just in front of it. Or getting a green rotala instead of hornwort.
- When I get CO2, plant a carpet of... hairgrass, MC and HC.
- Plant a very read plant, just next to the "big" group of rotala indica behind Anubias. (like just under the red tailed Guppy male, close to filter).
- I like the 3 caves, but the one to the left is just looking to unnatural, as I am trying to create an aquascape. So maybe cover it up with lava rock, or creating a mesh with moss on "hiding" it, or maybe just remove it completely.
- Raise substrate lever in the back and trim plants to a V-shape
- Lower substrate level in front.... keeps creeping down!
- add new moss to the tree looking root! (it grows VERY slow)
