Hey guys,
Yet another attempt to to plant this tank, fingers crossed all goes to plan.
Well just some specs before any pics
I am using some old ADA AS from my previous scapes and I placed 40 or so TPN capsuels evenly to give the substrate some life.
I have upgraded the lighting to 4 x 39W T5 im using a mixture of two Orsam lumilux 880's and 1 Orsam Lumilux 840 and 1 Sylvania Grolux bulb all on for 6 hours, my CO2 comes on 2 hours before and goes off 1 hour before lights out and its coming from a fire extinguisher through the atomizer inline diffuser.
Filter is a Tetratec EX1200 with Filter floss at top with one sponge, then Bio Balls follwed by eheim substrate pro and lastly ceramic tubes, there heater is also inline.
Im doing EI on recomendatios of the Nutricalc program and all ferts are from Flidsensor online bar my trace mix which is from gardens direct.
Plants are as follows:
Hemianthus Callitrichoides
Micranthemum Micranthemoides
Echinodorus Tennellus
Eleocharis acicularis
Lilaeopsis novea-zealandiae
Sagittaria
X-mass moss
Rocks are welsh green rocks availalbe from most garden centres.
Here are some pics of the tank a couple of weeks after setup, I used my brother Cannon EOS550 to take these shots but I'm not happy with them but its the best I can do.
Thanks for looking
Vito
