My last tank was 500l and I had a big budget, no experience and no clue. Too big, too deep and hard to maintain. I’d like to say I’ve improved but not sure
Anyway, it’s going and being replaced with a smaller no budget alternative
Tank: 120l second hand tank that arrived witha broken lid and downright dangerous equipment
Filter: FX4 from the old tank
Substrate: John Innes no 3 (from the greenhouse)
Gravel: Pale aquarium gravel saved from an old setup
CO2: None
Light: 40w cheap LED RGB tank light set to 20% initially 10 hours
Hardscape: Dragon stone (from the old tank) mix of old and new spiderwood
Awful photo. Planting still underway. Grey stones and some of the dragon stone will be removed when the wood sinks
