Well firstly i cant find a introductions section so will do it here.
My names mark im from birmingham uk, i currently have 5 tanks running (only 1 planted at the moment) containing L46 plecs, L134 plecs and sterbai cory's thought i would join this acclaimed planted forum to learn as much as poss for my next planted tank im going to setup (juwel lido 120).
Here's my first attempt so please be gental, never done this before and a complete novice so if anythink is wrong bare with me while i learn by the sounds of it a hell of alot more about the planted tank obsession .
Equipment....
Tank... Jebo 35/40ltr Tank.
Lighting... 18 Watt compact standard.
Substrate... Westland aquatic compost with a sand layer on top.
CO2... Cheap and cheerful nutrafin.
Plants/Moss... Riccia and christmas moss and cabomba(Thanks to aaron i know what they are now)
Inhabitants... 3x rainbow shrimp, 3x green shrimp.
Temp... Will be around 22-24C
First thing was the substrate....
Aquatic soil
Sand on top
Finally got round to filling
Added the christmas moss to the bogwood and then introduced it to the tank
Now the plants which i mite add was planted by my partner not me and i think she done a very good job
Finally added the CO2, this is the one i choose and i know its cheap and cheerfull but thought for the money it was worth a try
This was the tank the day after when the sand had settled and it was fully filled.
Thankyou for looking, comments and suggestions are all welcome
