Seedling
Hey guys! Let me begin by saying this is technically not my first tank. I did have a small 20l one before but can't really say it was worth showing so I'm considering this my first aquascaping attempt.
Technical stuff
Fluval Roma 125
16.5w + 26w LED
Fluval 307 external filter
No CO2 injection
Tropica soil
Hardscape is basically just Seiryu stone. I was, unfortunately, unable to get any wood to go with it in time and I do think it is not enough but this is what we have for now.
Flora
Foreground: Eleocharis parvula, Marsilea hirsuta
Midground: Staurogyne repens, Cryptocoryne x willisii
Background: Heteranthera zosterifolia, Rotala rotundifolia, Limnophila heterophylla
Epiphyte: Java Fern, more soon (anubia/bucephalandra)
Fauna (all moved from my previous tank)
6x glowlight tetras
4x red shrimp
The tank has been running for 2 weeks. No signs of algae just yet.
I've just turned both lights to 100% yesterday and they are ON for 6 hours a day (will increase soon).
For the 2nd week I've been changing 50% of the water every other day and for the 3rd week I'll do it every 3 days.
No liquid fertilisers just yet but I plan on using some soon.
Gonna need to trim it very soon.
Day 1
Day 14
Future plans
Will definitely be adding more epiphyte plans, the rocks look naked at the moment. I'm not a huge fan of the java fern.
I wanna add more shrimp (amano and reds), some otocinclus, add more glowlight tetras and add a feature fish (maybe a couple of german blue rams).
Any tips will be appreciated!
