OK so this is going to be my first serious attempt at a fully planted tank. I am on a very tight budget since I'm living on a student loan. so its going to be slow progress, I am currently just collecting bits as and when I have the money.
so far I have my tank, a clearseal 30x15x12 tank, a Eheim 2215 (currently running on my 10g fish only tank) and a heater (also on my 10g)
As I am on a budget the stand and hood are being made by me, out of odds and ends I already have in the garage.
so far I have got the weight bearing frame built. No laughing at my DIY skills, computers at electronics are my thing not wood
Next it is going to be faced in MDF then sealed and painted, total cost of the stand and hood will just be the sealer and paint.
I have some akadama on the way for the substrate, and that's about it so far. I will keep the journal updated as and when things happen but it will slow going.
