After many years on the dark side , I decided to strip down my Marine setup ( many thanks to Living Reef Oldham for taking all livestock off my hands for an honest credit ) . I intend to use what existing hardware I can :-
Tank is 30" x 20" x 20" (75cm x 50cm x 50cm) or 40 gal (180L)
Eheim Pro II ( 230gph or 1000L )
Arcadia luminaire 4xT5
Wave controller
As far a lighting is concerned I've picked up two T5 Dennerle Trocal Special Plant tubes from Zooplus and I've got a couple of Aqua One Bright Whites . I think this may be a bit heavy but I've the option of using two / three /four as suits .
Eheim is going in via a Lily pipe and I'm going to use the wave controller with a couple of small circulation pumps if I'm not happy with water movement .
The bog wood has been sitting in my cellar for about 10 years since I gave up on a Discus and this piece of art is actually 10 separate lumps .
The substrate is 15L TMC Nutrasoil Brown ( bought with my credits ) and fine gravel for contrast front left .
Now for a it of tweaking ( and give that back glass a polish )
Tonight's job is to start Plant shopping - watch this space !!!
Long term fish wise I will be going for Apisto's , Cardinals , Bleeding hearts ( or similar ) , Cory's , Whiptails and oto's . As far as Cichlids and cats I intend to try and source something a bit different . But that's going to be a long way down the line .
Water wise , it comes out of the tap soft so I plan to work with that .
