journey into the shallow forest

Nice layout

Seriously need a beter filter. 24 hours and water still hasnt cleared. Will get a canister filter and some purigen.

1 bbps co2 and my dropchecker turns yellow

I love the tank dimensions. I have similar but 40cm deep and i have a lid too so nice to see an open top. That wood is great!

Looks great, I've pondered using lots of bogwood 'knees' like that before, nice to see someone doing it.

Just watch out for algae early on, you've probably got three times as much light as I had on the Bucket (I had one Kessil higher up).

Try Seachem Clarity to clear the water - http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Clarity.html

 

[RynoParsons]

Im not the biggest fan of seachem clarity. I would rather use carbon and purigen

 

[James O]

Bad experience?

 

[RynoParsons]

Just didnt work for me clouds up the water for half a day and thats it. I dont know. But will get better filtration anyway

 

[RynoParsons]

Added purigen. Tank is clearing up
Will post more pics when all the plants are in and settled

Now that's got depth

What fish are going to be lucky enough to call this home?

 

[RynoParsons]

Thanx. I actually dont know. Galaxy rosboras maybe or some yellow blue eye rainbows

 

[James O]

I've had both. Really fun fish.

The rainbows must be related to Evel Knievel - they can't stop jumping over the edge and onto the floor

Looking great...some leaching from the wood as expected which actually looks good....watch out for algae, like Big Tom, better put less light into your tank or hang them much higher.

 

[RynoParsons]

Yeah I tried I cant get the kessils higher with the gooseneck just running my lights for 5hours a day at the moment hope it helps

 

[RynoParsons]

Did my first 50% waterchange today. Water is much clearer now. Alot less tannins (for a day probably

 

[Lindy]

Are you going to keep your curtains shut forever?

 

[RynoParsons]

Its in a spare room. Tank will be moved next month onto a cabinet in dining room

 

[Mark-jan]

Great tank! love the dimensions! Really curious how it is going to develop

 

[RynoParsons]

Plants is starting to grow. Everything has new leafs. Groundcover is shooting out runners everywhere. No algae so far running lights only at 5hours a day

 

[RynoParsons]

Loving my tank. Did change the rocks but it's still the same scape. Just nicer rocks. Will update when its grown in more and when I got weeping moss and more needle leaf ferns which is impossible to find!
