Hi,
I’m just about to start my second tank and would like some ideas/suggestions for the layout/plants I am thinking of using.
I’ve seen this article http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/stemplants.html by Takashi Amano , which has inspired me and shows what is possible.
The tank I have is an old Juwel rekord 70 (60x30x40), I’ve replaced the hood with an Arcadia 4x24w T5 luminaire, I have an Eheim 2324 filter and a JBL easy set 2, and have used Aqua Soil for the substrate. (If anyone knows how to remove the white limescale or whatever it is from the glass I'd like to know!)
The plants I was thinking of using are based on the article above, so possibly some of these, advise on which ones would best suit would also be welcome.
Here are the layouts I’ve been playing with, not sure if I need the rocks if so what to do with them.
Layout 1
Layout 2
Layout 3
Layout 4
Cheers,
