Hey guys, here's my tank (post final major prune). Will update again as it grows in fully.
I'd previously tried scaping some aquariums and had major problems getting any plants going. I never had any real CO2 though and was using far too demanding plants and then giving up at the first sign of algae.
After randomly deciding to give it another shot at the beginning on this year I've been through the trials and tribulations of setting up a tank from scratch and having to work everything out as I go along. Anyway, enough babbling - here's the tank:
Arcadia Arc Tank 35L
Arcadia Ellipse 18W Tropical
FE CO2
Eheim 2213
2 x Otos
4x Cherry barbs
E. acicularis sp. mini
H. tripiartia
S. repens
R. rotundifolia
M. hirsuta
Any comments, advice etc. would be great but really just wanted to show off something I think's not half bad for a first successful attempt. Thinking I may need to rescape soon as that hairgrass is getting thick. Will try and do something completely different next I think.
