I just read through the entire thread (I had no idea I was getting into 10 pages/40 minutes
). Just wanted to thank you for an interesting read, I love what you've done with the tank; your thread really shows how tanks mature and how the people of these beautiful tanks gain experience. I love the pictures, including the macros, excellent photography - keep it coming!
Haha, me too! Some of the best journal pics i've seen. Who needs revision...
I've got a slightly larger version of the cube and am hoping to get a nice planted arrangement. I have an 11w arc pod, which the LFS told me is 22w effective - This is still quite a lot less than you isn't it? I really want to have a carpeting/other good foreground plant in there, but they seem to be really high maintenance. What would you recommend?
By the way, it's mostly going to be a tank for a siamese fighter - this doesn't have too much bearing, but just that it has to have open swimming space. I was thinking bogwood with anubias attached for a feature.
For CO2, how happy were you with the Hagen system?
Thanks
