Hi Tbro,it came in pots,only joking mate,it came from tgm and they keep their plants in purpose built tanks with lighting and co2 injection thats why they are top quality,

Hi samc that is didipli in front of Cyprus h,it should look ok once it gets going,all the plants were top notch loads in each pot as you can see,I won't be giving up the hobby if sell the big setup,im just thinking of down sizeing as it's hard work at my age (54) doing a tank of this size.I have two other tanks waiting to be setup which I will be doing in early June.
Regards john

I was amazed when I saw your setup John.
I don't know how you have the time to look after it.
I do sense slight movement into smaller setups but having a few of them.
Can't wait one that's grown in John.
Hi Clarke,I keep foregetting to post in your nano journal it looks realy nice,
I am starting to lean towards smaller setups but I do love my big tank,just wathching evrything in the evevnings is great.
Regards john
 
samc said:
i thought that might be the case i should imagine alot of time maintaining the tank.

bet you want to try a few different things too :D

look foward to seeing what ull do with the other tanks

Hi samc I most likely will sell the big tank,with several smaller tanks you would have chance to learn more at a faster pace,I would like to have a low light setup too.
Regards john
