I've just had the phone call from Natural Aquario in Portugal to say that my tank is on its way! I can't promise that this will be a pretty tank or that it will be problem free. I'm sure that at some point someone will say 'the problem is your lights/flow/co2/substrate/plants/fish/water/fertilisers' (delete those not applicable) At some point it will need the use of a sledgehammer. I'm looking forward to that bit.
It's called Supernova for want of a better name because I think that's what 108w of LEDs is going to look like in my sitting room. 'From eBay' because it's going to replace our £15 ebay tank that has become really tatty. Ok, it was tatty when I bought it. But what a bargain!
Tank: NA 90cm x 45cm x 50cm
Lighting: NA SUN LED 6 x 18w led strips
Filtration: 2 x Eheim 2217 (aka Classic 600)
Heater: Hyder external 300w
Fertilisation: EI
Co2: Easy Carbo and FE/pub bottle pressurised to 3 tanks
BOC 8500 regulator
Glassware from ebay and co2art
Plants: I'll mostly be using ones I already have so crypts, anubias sp., staurogyne repens, pogostomon helferi, HC, micranthemum sp. Monte Carlo.
Some of them are growing emersed but not too well. I think I cooked them at some point and the greenfly aren't helping.
