Hello,
I thought I'd start a journal seeing as my 425 litre tank is fully Tropical now and well, I'm hoping after one setback of putting in non-aquatic plants I'm now on the right path to having a nice, planted aquarium
Here is the tank (for those who havn't seen it on other threads in the forum).
The tank dimensions are 150 x 45 x 60. Current residents are 3 Angels, 7 Red Eye Tetra and 6 Peppered Cory.
I have one 42" 38w (I think) tropical T5, with another Plant Pro one on the way.. using liquid ferts and have a C02 cannister.
Currently I know there are a few Amazon swords (not sure which specifically) some Twisted Vallis, Dwarf Anubias and not sure what the small-leafy plant is near the middle of the tank, but its thriving.
I have these plants on the way:
2 x Lilaeopsis Novea-Zeelandiae
2 x Hygrophila polysperma
1 x Echinodorus Harbii Rosa
1 x Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
1 x Cryptocoryne Wendtii Brown
1 x Pogostemon Helferi
1 x Alternanthera Reineckii / Telanthera, Rosaefolia
2 x Hydrocotyle Leucocephala / Pennywort
2 x Bacopa Caroliniana / Giant Bacopa, Blue water Hyssop
2 x Bacopa Monnieri / Dwarf Bacopa / Baby Tears
I'm drawing a plan of where I'm going to put these plants and the effect I'm trying to acheive, should be able to put it up tomorrow night.
