Hi everyone,
I am new to this site, I must say the standard of all the tanks here is really impressive. I don't think mine is anywhere near as good. It is 36"x18"x12" and has been going as a planted set up for just over 2 months. Almost all the plants are tropica which have been picked up fairly cheaply or are tropica derivatives. There is still some BGA hanging around but it seems to be subsiding (touch wood). The tank is lit by 4 39w T5s, with DIY CO2 and is dosed with TPC once a week (although I am soon to change this to dry ferts..still working on it as I don't think it is enough).
Please let me know what you think of it as this is pretty much my first planted tank with CO2 and high light levels. There's still lots to do to it and any input from the experts would be much appreciated!
