Hi,
yesterday I started ordering the first pieces for my next scape. The Lighting I planned on using is going out of production (at least I think so), which made me start a bit faster than I thought I would.
As I promised within my introduction thread, here is my journal coming with that project.
This tank by the member Million of UKAPS inspired me and I will try something similar. Here is what I came up with so far. But since the light is the only thing I ordered at the moment, everything else is still flexible:
Equipment
Tank: 80 x 40 x 40 rimless float glass custommade tank.
Filter: Either Eden 522, JBL e901 or Tetra EX 800 Plus
Light: Chihiros 80 cm (50 Watts / up to 7.200 Lumens, dimmable in seven levels)
CO2: 500 gr. pressurized System (inherited from my current tank)
Stand: Aquatlantis Fusion 80 Stand.
Hardscape & Substrate
Substrate: Environment Soil, Lavagranulate (to save some Soil), white or ocher sand
Hardscape: Basalt Rock (approx. 25 kg), Redmore Wood (got some nice pieces in my storage room)
Plants
On the woods:
Microsorum pteropus, either 'Trident' or 'Narrow' (three pots)
Hygrophila pinnatifida (one 8.5 cm In Vitro cup)
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite' (three pots)
Around the woods:
Staurogyne Repens (one 8.5 cm In Vitro cup)
Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' (one In Vitro cup, either 5.5 or 8.5 cm)
Front Area:
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis (three 8.5 In Vitro cups)
Behind the woods:
Vallisneria nana 'Tiger' (two pots)
Since the tank needs about four to six weeks to be built, I expect this project to take a little bit longer. But that's a perfect match for a students wallet.
That's it so far, hope you stay tuned for the next updates, that while come as soon as i get new pieces
Best Regards
Dominik
