My new underwater garden

[Kingyfish1]

Hello everyone
So here is my journal following my new aquascape setup. The tank is a superfish home 110 and holds 118 litres. The only extra equipment on the tank is co2 injection via a fe a in tank defuser and seachem matrix in the internal filter.
I am dosing every day with a all in one fertilizer due to using some tropica 1-2 grow plants at the start of the scape. I know a few people may say you don't need to but with 50% water changes everyday in the first week I want to make sure the plants have everything thay need. Really looking forward to posting and following the tank on here from the beginning with weekly updates good or bad and hope to create a good looking aquascape with a bit of help and advice from you guys and girls.
Plants in the tank are at the moment are
Ludwigia palustris
Limnophila sessiliflora
Microsorum pteropus
Nymphaea lotus
Alternanthera reineckii

The tank is now a week old and water changes are now every other day.
Here are photos after first week I have some new plants on the way for the empty area, Rotala Rotundifolia as I did not order enough plants.
Hope you enjoyed this thread please do comment and follow the tanks progress i will update in a weeks time.

Will be good to see how it goes. I just ordered my first tank (not got it yet) so will be interesting to see how you get on

Weekly tank update.
Have changed the tank around a little bit this week. I have taken out the filter and heater that come with the aquarium and replaced it with a oase thermo 100 filter. Had some good growth at first but has slowed down now in the last few days. Have some fungus on the wood and am cleaning it off weekly. Overall I'm happy, and have some more plants due this coming week for the back right corner so will update you all when there in. Have a good week everyone 🙂

Tank update
Getting there with the tank now, there have been a few ups and downs with it. I have put in some new plants over the last two weeks thay are.
Staurogyne repens
Eleocharis Parvula
Hydrocotyle Tripartita
Pogostemon stellatus
Cryptocoryne usteriana
All are doing well, I have had some problems with thread alge and also plants with a few black spots due to lack of nutrition, but I have raised my fertilizer now to 8ml a day using tropica specialised fertilizer and all is looking better, also had a small trim to reshape a few.
I have also introduced the clean up crew including amano shrimp, cherry chrimp, snails,
I have put in a white background and a small circulation pump at the top right to help flow.
Do you love it do you hate it please let me know what you think, and will update you all with the tanks progress in a couple of weeks.
