My First Planted

i really dig that glosso, hc, and rici i think it was called... could you give me the full names? so i can request it at my lfs? thanks alot!!! im looing for a good carpet plant.
 
this tank is amazing. What kind of cost are we looking at here? Ive got a 90L roma and want to upgrade to a larger tank in the summer (200L maybe?)

What have all your plants cost u? and the luminaire,CO2 system,extra filter,plants and so on.

I reckon my tank has cost me in the region of 200 quid (i got the tank,cabinet and filter for 75..the heater,plants,gravel,background pic and fish have made up the rest)

Dont wanna spend too much more on the upgrade so may steer clear of planted and just have some bogwood and anubias/java fern/moss in the new tank.
 
Ok this tank is nothing short of breathtaking, and its your first!!!! Well done! i have actually bookmarked it for reference! xD
 
This tank is still going, here some of the latest photos:

This looks amazing m8, must take you ages to rearrange stuff, can u recommend any plants to me? im gonna turn half my tank into a heavily planter area.
 
Another update another photo, the new CO2 inline diffuser is great, very happy I purchased that :) tank is now pearling like crazy, even the Fissidens fontanus is pearling! lol





























Photos just had a resize, and straight off the camera, the Tamron 90mm macro is a great lens! Shame the camera its attached to! lol

Think that is enough photos for one day haha :)
 
Would you be to upset if i stole your tank? I want it.. joking :lol:

great tank insperation to me to get my bum of the couch and sort my tank out :good:
