Hi all, I thought I would start my first journal on here as I have never got round to doing one before.
The tank is a juwel rio 125 which I've had set up as a high tech co2 tank for the last few years. I have recently moved house, so I decided to completely rescape and go low tech as I will have less time on my hands these days to do maintenance all the time.
I set this tank up on the weekend and I will post pictures later when I have time.
Here's my setup and plant list.
Juwel rio 125
Lighting: 2x28w tubes without reflectors running at 5 hours photoperiod at the moment
Substrate: 18kg of Eco complete
Filtration: being kept low so just have the standard juwel filter running at the moment
Fertiliser: Not currently adding any at the moment but will probably add some trace occasionally
Hardscape: A large piece of redmoor wood
Flora: Mostly cryptocoryne wendtii green and brown, vallis, echinodorus red diamond, sword, crinum thaianum, and some stem plants which I can't remember the name of!
Fauna: Lemon tetras, Xray Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Albino Corys
Plants are already starting to grow in nicely even after a couple of days.
I will add some photos later so you can all see.
