Oldwhitewood's NA 60P new layout

[oldwhitewood]

Hi everyone, I thought I would post this journal about my new layout, having not been on here for a good few years (but still keeping my eye on the hobby) I've decided try to share some of the progress with my tank. Not much has changed really, I've had a few different layouts in my little 60cm tank but nothing to write home about, most have been with sand, I haven't tried a carpet for ages so I wanted a bit of challenge. Here is some spec stuff.

ADA Cube Garden 60-P
Do!Aqua Stand
Fluval LED light (might change this back to my Solar II)
Eheim 2171 Professional 3 250T
ADA Vuppa
D&D disposable CO2 kit with solenoid
ADA lily pipe inlet & outlet, p2 & v2
ADA diffuser
ADA Drop Checker
ADA thermometer (if you own just one piece of ADA glassware make it one of these 8) )
ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia
ADA Power Sand Special S
ADA Tourmaline BC

Plants

Vesicularia dubyana
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow'
Crytocoryne wendtii brown
Cryptocoryne balansae
Lilaeopsis novea-zelandiae

Here it is so far, looking a right mess...

I've had to weigh some of the driftwood down with pebbles as even though I've had it in my tank for ages it's dried out a little and is trying to float, hopefully it should sink after a few days.

Wow That must have set you back for a couple of quids. Damn i would be broke by now. It looks like it is progressing really well. Looking forward to more pictures

Over the years yes but once you've got the ADA stuff it tends to last, my lily pipes are scratched, the tank is scratched, everything is a bit old but it keeps on going. It's a working tank in a sense. The expensive bit I find is the substrate system and ferts.
