about time i posted this really i was planning on entering it into the AGA competition but due to diatoms the hc got covered and now wont fill in time so i thought id share it.
the tank has been running for a couple of months now but only just added the parvula at the front and middle.
you might still be able to see diatomes but they are going quickly now as i got some amanos.
lighting is currently a 11w but theres is 2 in there (due to diatoms)
dosing is a EI based mix
co2 is pressurized
50% water change a week at least
filter is a eheim 2211 with extra powerhead(was from a small internal filter but does the job
plants are:
rotala sp green
acicularis at the sides
parvula infront at sides and in the middle
HC in the foreground
This is how it is today
you can see the patch behind the paruvla on the left is slightly empty because the acicularis uprooted today, so had to be planted again and lost some of it as it got sucked into the powerhead which chopped it up
this is a shot from my bed
i like this shot because i cant see the diatoms
comments and critics welcome of course
