Oi oi,
At the request of Mr Farmer I'm putting up a thread here about my new layout. This is what it looks like ...
I've had a lot of trouble setting up this aquarium over the past few months, I found out my heater had packed in, my inline heater, the light decided to stop working midway through the initial planting and I'm experiencing a lot of algae blooms now two weeks in. Aside from that it's been great Added 10 c. japonica yesterday.
Below is some techie data ...
Hardware
60x30x36 opti-white
ADA style stand (custom built by yours truly)
ADA Solar II light with 100VA transformer
Eheim Ecco 2234
Hydor external heater
D&D disposable CO2 kit with solenoid
ADA Products used
ADA lily pipe inlet & outlet, p2 & v2
ADA diffuser
Do! Aqua diffuser (swapping both around for cleaning etc)
ADA CO2 grey parts set
ADA Drop Checker
ADA thermometer (if you own just one piece of ADA glassware make it one of these 8) )
ADA Aqua Soil Malaya
ADA Forest Sand Xingu
Plants
Echinodorus tenellus
Vesicularia dubyana
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow'
Limnophila aquatica
Heteranthera zosterifolia
Hygrophila lacustris (no idea about this plant at all, does anyone know anything?)
Hardscape
2 different grades of gravel from TGM
Golden Slate stones (I think they were that they were from a garden centre)
Redmoor wood, 3 pieces
Slate pieces (to weigh down the redmoor until it sinks)
I will be doing some stuff with this tank over the next few months so will let you know how it goes.
