Hello everyone my name is Bart and i am from the Netherlands.
I started this hobby about 1 year ago, tried different things with a 30L nano but that did not worked out.
Soon after i bought a nice used 60P set with injected CO2 ADA aquasky etc. I tried a scape and it worked out decent.
Despite i already wanted to make changes very soon en the plant choice was not very good it became a little messy and did not looked natural the way i intented.
Also i was struggling with Staghorn algea wich i could not get 100% under control.. I think the cause was my dosing regime.
Last weekend i cleaned everything up and started from scratch, the hardscape is now 90% done and i am quite happy about it. In the foreground will come ada colorado sand with details of Rio xingu gravel.
The plants i have ordered are the following:
Bolbitus heudelotii
Microsorum windelov
Microsorum trident
Crypto crispatula
Elocharis acucularis mini
Hygrophilia siamensis 53b
Ludwigia palustris
Anubias petite
Anubias bonais
Buce sp red
Hygrophilia pinnatifida
And some left over from my old scape
Crypto wendtii
Crypto Parva
Crypto undulatus red
Im measuring with the 1-ph drop method for CO2, and planning to dose TropicaSPN 2 pumps per day and probbly adding some phospate, in my old scape i had problems with greenspot algae.
The planting will start thursday or friday and i will try to keep some updates here.
