Never found the time to create a journal on this one im afraid but I thought you might appreciate some pictures.
The tank is an AquaOne 120cm kit filtered with an AquaOne Aquis 1200 external canister. Lighting has been upgraded to an Arcadia Luminaire with 4 x 54 watt T5. I also added a hagen GLO light unit 1 x 54 watt to brighten up the foreground. Substrate is Red Sea flora base and I dose reguarly with Tropica Aquacare. Co2 is supplied via Jbl system connected to a Red Sea turbo reactor.
I couldnt tell you what the water parameters are im afraid because ive never tested.
The tank did go through a bad patch with hair algae a bit of a problem but it got over the worst. Theres still a little hair algae on close insection but it doesnt spoil the overall appearance of the tank. Somewhere in amongst all those plants is a shoal of bleeding heart tetras, 10 mortenthaleri pencils and recently added 3 platinum white angels.
The tank is still running and has been a lot longer lived than a lot of my scapes. The intention was always a low maintenance tank hence the ferns, Anubias and moss.
Hope you enjoy the pictures
