A floating ring made up for the floating plants. To reduce the amount they get pushed around the tank and to stop them getting stuck in the corners and sucked into the surface cleaner
Thanks JReally good job mate the tank looks really nice

Thanks dude. Fingers crossed it'll only get betterBetter of to wait mate great first scape though
Thanks bud. Yeah its DIY. Got the pipe from Ebay. 316 marine grade stainless steel. Then just drilled holes in it (very poorly as you can see) Same with the inlet pipe, but at least the pre filter sponge covers the poorly drilled holes on thatI really like that stainless steel spraybar. Is that DIY? I recently mounted green Eheim spraybar on my SS pipes and I was thinking about either transparent pipes and now I saw your SS one. Its something.
Hey man. Weird thing is I have the temp set to 24 but for some reason the tank is always sitting hotter than that. Room temp is about 22° so I have no idea why the tank water sits above 24Just a quick one mate is the 24.4 the temp of your tank? If so I'd drop it to 22 co2 dissolves better at 22 degrees
Cheers

So is 22° ok for the fish to be in? Only reason I have it set to 24 is because I didnt think fish would like it colder than that
A variety of tetra (rummeynoses, ember, lemon, cardinal), Harlequins, Appistagrammas, couple of angels, amano, plec, corys, ottos and maybe couple of gourmaiWhat are your planning to keep?
Ah that's brilliant. Ok thanks for the info. I'll drop the temp then as long as the fish I listed above are ok in that tempYeah the fish will be fine all of AG tanks and when I spoke to Dave about it as I was buying my reg from there and he says all the diffrent fish they have had over the years none have had a issue with that temp
Cheers

You reckon the plecs will munch all the leaves up? I have a yellow phantom at the mo and was gonna get a bristlenose too. But if you reckon they'll munch on all the plants, I'll leave them outWow that is a lot of diffrent fish Haha I think plecs will see your tank as a massive salad bar
I have Cory's tetra harlequins ottos in my tanks at 22
I always Alternathera takes a while to get going I'd just keep trimming it back and give it a month or so. it probs the transition stage
