Hi guys, thought I'd share a feel pics of my planted tank with you.
Dimensions
39" x 18" x 16"/100 x 45 x 40 cm
Volume
180 l./40 gal./48 US gal.
Aquarium details
Used fishless cycling with king prawns. Tank fully cycles in 14 days. My record for a 180l tank. Thermometer was set to 28 degrees to speedup process. Tank is now 15 months old. Using Presurised CO2 with solonid and pH Controler. Use Easy Life Profito and Excel Florish alond with root tabs.
Fish
2 Beta Splendens male/female, 15 Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi), 6 Zebra Loach (Botia striata), 5 Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus Bicirrhis), 3 Red/Flame Gouramis (Colisa Lalia), 3 Albino Corys, 2 Bristlenose Catfish male/female
Plants/Invertebrates
Java fern, red tiger lotus lily, elodea, Ludwigia repens, Echinodorus Ozelot
Filtration

Lighting
2x T6 36
Substrate
Tahitian Black SaND
Decor
Mopani wood, Bog Wood and Rocks
Background
Black
Water parameters
Amonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20mg/l, pH 6.5
"I've decided that I'm going to re-aquascape the whole acuarium with a different variety of exotic plants. I've investigated the T6 tubes I installed. The daylight tube is rated at 11,000 K and the Plant grow at 6,500 both are 40% briighter that my old T8 ltubes and meet the requirements for lawning the aquarium. I'll post an update once I receive all the plants.
The new aquascape will have the following plants..
Lilaeopsis sp. .. Mauritius for the lawn (foreground)
Alternanthera reineckii lilacina (rear midground)
Ceratopteris thalictroides (rear midground)
Echinodorus .. Ozelot (midground)
Ceratophyllum demersum (foreground side of tank)
Limnophilla aromatica (foreground side of tank)
Rotala wallichii (foreground)
Valis Americana (Rear corner)
Java fern (foreground)
Red tiger lotus lilt (midbround off center, focal point)
Anubis Nana (foregraound corner)
My goodness... seems like a jungle already )
