Hi All
Well I have never done a journal before, never really thought of taking pics whilst setting a tank up, well I started yesterday and thought it would be good idea to see what people thought and get opinions on how to make it look better.
Tank - 30x30x35 (31L) Aquatic Nature Cocoon
Lighting - 11W Overtank light white 6500K - Aquatic Nature
Filtration - Hang On Filter - Flow 200 Aquatic Nature
Substrate - Ferti Soil - Aquatic Nature
CO2 - DIY from Hagen Nutrafin Co2 System - Sugar and Yeast
Ferts - Nothing as yet
Decor - Some wood and landscaping rocks, Indian leaf
Flora - Fontinalis hypnoides, Riccardia chamedryfolia, Blepharostoma trichophyllum, Monosolenium Tenerum, Hottonia, Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae, Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv', some other fern
Fauna - Will be Cherry Shrimps wild and Bee Shrimps of some sort, not normal ones.
The Aquatic Nature equipment is only available to central european countries I believe, I know they do not sell in UK, which is pity as they have some really good stuff.
Anyway here are some pics.
Subtrate
Some initial pics of scape
Few plants added
Left side
Right Side
Moss added not entirely sure what to do with them, so just ltting them grow.
Without background
with Background
I think with background looks better, anyway, here it is hopefully plants will grow nicely.
Appreciate comments
Thanks
Dave
