How To Set Up An Easy Planted Tank

[ulster exile]

If you need a tank to do a practise scape on, I'm willing to tear mine apart - for the sake of the hobby, you understand. It would be hard, but I'm sure I would get over it, eventually...when it grew in.

You bring the equipment, I'll supply the beer.

thanks for the vid George i am in the middle of setting up a juwel rio 125 low - mid tech and this vid has given me some great ideas.

just 1 quick question which do you think is a better source of carbon seachem excel or the easylife carbo as i dont know which to opt for as my source of co2..

also do you think Akadama would be a suitable replacement for the mix of substrates you use as funds are abit low..

thanks Ark

Sounds like a good deal!

Personally I would choose Easycarbo. As far as I know they are very similar, if not the same product. They contain the same active ingredient. Budget then comes into play...

Akadama is fine. JamesC from UKAPS has used it with great success.
