Hi all, all advice and comments welcomed.
OK original post when I set up this tank is way back somewhere, so brief info on my tank…
Juwel vision 180l
filter: Eheim 2026
lights: 2x 25w arcadia lights, 2x 55w T5 daylights (about 3wpg)
CO2: JBL Pro2 (1.5 bps)
substrate: flourite
EI ing as in sticky
Here is my tank after water had cleared.
I bought lots more fast growing plants. Not a great deal of thought went into where the plants went as I just wanted them to grow, grow, grow and I cracked on with getting EI dosing sorted.
This was tank a week or so later.
About 4 weeks on now, I have a bit of a jungle. I like the 2 pieces of bogwood both with holes in for fish to swim through and they stand up, but they are different colours and I haven’t found a positioning I like yet. Maybe I should just use one of them. Still on the look out for a perfect big piece. Anyway here's the tank now that needs some trimming. First new residents in there - 6 platties.
Thanks to you guys who’ve helped me already. Again advice & comments appreciated.
