hi guys here the update on the tank.
I made a diy reactor and it work really well but too noisy in my bedroom so I order the new up diffuser from co2art.

1st day was very long as I didn't plan thing properly and had a hard time planting, I soon relies with the wood in I didn't have a lot of room for background plants even to put my hand in to clean the glass.
this kind of put me off so as for today I will be remove every thing over to my 3ft and maybe do another iwagumi on the ada.
thanks for everyone who view this thread and I soon will be back with another updates shorty.
cheers
ryan

oh no what have you done greenfinger!!!! lol just kidding. im glad you post a comment on this long over due jounal.

after 2 week setting up that tank i actually took it down wasted money on plants and time and to be honest i thought i knew it all lol total failed. i was still having proplem growing a carpet plant and i gave up and packed alot away put it in the garage. but one day i decided i wanted to upgrade my shrimp tank so i move everything over from my smaller nano to the next size up 55litre and after a couple of month i relise that you don't really need all the fancy light and high co2 to achieve a beautiful tank. soon i started to do things slowy and got back in to set my 60p.
over the last 2 years i learnt a lot from my mistake and things are making a lot more sense now. knowing how to balance light co2 fertilizers is not easy but now i got the hang of it oh happy days lol

i was going to start another new jounal but i think i keep this one going.

thanks roy for kick starting this jounal.

here we go. beginning of this year i set up my tank i got my ideal from james Marshall 60p and i wanted to do something similar but with more background plants. this has lasted all most a year. i just recently strip it down for a more simple layout. now days i haven't got much time due me and my wife got a lil boy who need attention 24 hours ;););)

so i will be uploading picture from start to finished and then start again with the new scape. right now let me show you what the tank look like before i strip it down. sorry for the dirty pipes you know what its like with a new born baby lol

updates real soon guys

cheers
ryan

tank was good untill he was born and i got lazy doing w/c. you can go max 2 week untill you see green spot algae. about the rams the egg lasted for a few days untill the neon got to them hahah i saw them eat it with my own eyes. i went to feed the fish and the smarter neon waited for the rams to leave the eggs to get a mouth full lol
