This is my most recent scape. Previous one here - Stu's 90x45x45cm Tropica Tank | UK Aquatic Plant Society
Hardscape: Seiryu Stone
Co2: Pressurised via diffuser into UP atomiser
Lighting: ADA Solar 1 - 150w NA Green
Filtration: Eheim 2078 Cal Aqua Inlet, ADA P2 Lily
Heating: Hydor 300W External heater
Substrate: ADA Amazonia, Tropica Plant Substrate, Carbon and polystyrene so the stone doesnt break the tank!
Ferts: Tropica Plant growth Premium and Normal
Critters: Red Cherry Shrimp, TBC
Note, the plants and ferts in here have been kindly sponsored by Tropica so big thanks to them for this and supporting our hobby and UKAPS. This also means there are a few test plants in there.
Plants
Rotala sp. ''green'' – 033A - x10
ranunculus inundatus - 022C POT x 5
Riccardia Chamedryfolio 003D POR - x3

eleocharis sp. mini 1-2 grow- 132B - x 7
Hemianthus callitrichoides ''Cuba'' – 048B – x 5
Vesicularia ferriei 'Weeping'
I was also going to put a line of Ludwigia arcuata stems in but I think they were out of stock
Test plants
Tonina sp- Stem-plant with small, triangular, pointed leaves sitting tight on the stem. Bright green. Makes a star-like effect in newest Growth. Needs trimming and replant of cuttings to stay good looking.Grows medium/slow.
Rotala mini butterfly- Tall and slender, very dark and rich red colour. Leaves very small, 2-3 mm. wide and 1 cm. long. Can be trimmed into dense, ´bushy´appearance.
Rotala mexicana sp. ´Goias´: Stem-plant, grows overhanging/creeping. Resembles a creeping Rotala rotundifolia,
Crypt – Costata “Brown” – This looks really cool, a bit like tennelus but slims at the bottom and is really brown. Ive put this at the fonrt right under the stones.
Penthorum Sedoides
Also some Bucephalandra dotted around in there from my previous tank.
so it begins ...
not entirely sure the pic will show for everyone as its from facebook
