well ive been wanting to do a new tank for a mission now and heres the tread to show my experiences ive gained allong the way...
its 24"x12"x15" (LxDxH)
my lighting unit (will be here in the next few days) is a hagen glo t5ho thingy magigy, in other words 2x24wat t5ho
i think i want to use an internal filter as i already have one and to show that you dont need an external to make a lush planted tank, altho youll probly prove me wrong oh and im 16 so spending £70 on an external and then £30 on lilly pipes is a bit over the top
im probably going for crystal shrimp and endlers, maybe some otos depending how alge growing goes....
now picture time, sorry for some being blury.
camping mat instead of polestirine (how ever thats spelt)
£40 sand
state of my bath after washing 2 bags of this stuff
aquascaping tool of choise
the driftwood, tapemeasure to show size
the finnished product
and my awful drawing of planting plan...
red - flame moss, if i can ever find any
green - hc cuba
yellow - Blyxa japonica and something else if anyone has ideas, they will be much appriciated
thanks next picture update will most likely be tomorow when my lighting unit arrives
critism is great and helpful
