G'day folks, first time to do a journal on this forum, the reason I have not up to now is because I know I will not keep it up to date, anyway I will do my best!!
This hopefully will be an entrant for the PFK competition all going well but like a lot of my aquascapes this may change as I go along, but im pretty happy overall with the hardscape so far, just really have to decide on the final planting mainly for the foreground the rest I have a good idea of where this is going.
The spec
160l tank approx 40 US gallons
Size 30x18x18 DIY tank made to fit in an alcove
Eheim 2215
2x55W ASL PCs about 2.8WPG
Substrate-Gravel
DIY external CO2 reactor
5kg CO2 fire extinguisher
Plants so far
Narrow leaf Java fern
Bolbitis heudelotii
Pogostemon helferi
Java moss
More plants will be added at the end of this week, just waiting for a plant shipment in my local lfs, have some on order.
ok with the boring stuff out of the way onto the pics, everyone only wants to see the pics and here they are
First shot is my humble abode with the temp work surface setup and selection of driftwood which I collected at a lake recently on my travels, all nicely dried out ready for aquascaping.
Hardscape, shortened the main branch jutting out on top for the other pics, may shorten it some more, p helferi in the pic was growing from the previous setup.
mmmmm bolbitis yummy
Moss and bolbitis tied onto driftwood, lots of moss in this scape
The main event, all tied up and planted for now.
Thats it for now everyone will update later.
Thanks for lookin
