Description:
This one gave me some work
I used ~30kg os Spirit Stones (a large number of stones) and i tried a difficult layout.
The hardscape have a large impact on the aquarium.
I used wood (caught on nature) to give a more natural look.
I used almost one week to make it (only some hours daily) and i used a lot of silicone for stones and wood.
No stem plants but three carpet plants and two mosses.
I’ll see in the near future if i need some more plants to give different textures and colors.
I used a different substrate from EQUO, an Italian company (have been using ADA Amazonia/Power Sand for some years).
This was a challenge from my friend Rui Alves from Aquaeden Shop.
I’m pretty happy with it. Clear and crystal water from day 1.
I’m using EI ferts from the end of first week and 50% water change two times per week.
Filter was wet but stopped for two months so i think that it was a full reset. But everything is ok.
I use only ADA Bio Rio on the filter.
There are some diatoms from two days ago. It should mean that the ammonia is present and all is going normally.
No tests!
And now some photos (2014.12.27)… from some details
More images and a step-by-step video soon.
Just a small preview video…
