So, this might end up being a journal, but I setting up my new tank this weekend
It's a 40cm cube, the aquaone aquanano 55.
I've placed my order with The Green Machine which is
1 xADA Aqua Soil Powder Amazonia (9 Litre)
4 xTropica 1-2-Grow Eleocharis sp. 'mini'
1 xSumatra Drift Root Wood Nano SUM24
3 xTropica 1-2-Grow Vesicularia ferriei 'Weeping'
1 xSumatra Drift Root Wood Nano SUD51
5 xSeiryu Stone (Per Kg) -
2 xLindernia rotundifolia - £11.98[DOUBLEPOST=1407916182][/DOUBLEPOST]These are the bits of wood
I think may cut this in two and, together with one below, have three pieces emerging from the substrate with the moss attached
The ADA will cap john innes number 3 soil, I think I may mineralise the soil (by baking). Maybe I'm just playing safe but then ADA will leach Ammonium, so I don't want excess that could burn the plants (think I'm right in saying levels above 20ppm aren't good for plants?). Probably won't make a difference but will make me feel better!!! And, I'll be using filter media as well as water from my existing tanks anyway.
I think I've ordered more stones and DHG than I could possibly use for this tank but I think I'll have a play with setting up an Iwagumi in the Fluval Edge 23l that I was going to break down. I've asked TGM to send me appropriate stones.
Looking forward to the weekend!
