My First Scape After A Long(ish) Absence.

[Dave Spencer]

This a 120cm I set up for the GF in her house. It is around one month old. There are 30 Copper harlequins and six Honey gouramis in there.

Thanks for the replies.

The Copper harlequins certainly are great little fish.

Tank specs:
Hardware;
2 x Tetratec 1200s with added Zeolite and Purigen
300W Hydor inline heater
Pressurised CO2 via an Aquamas reactor
3 x 38W reflected T8 lights in an Arcadia luminaire
120cm x 45cm x 45cm float glass tank. I wanted opti white, but Ray at Aquariums Ltd kindly offered me this one at an unbeatable price

Hardscape;
Wood picked up off the fields of N. Wales and an Almond grove in Spain. The rocks/stones are my usual N. Wales quarry source, but they should disappear under the mosses. The coarse sand is from TGM.

Ferts;
ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia where there are plants
Macros are EI using AE powders
Micros are Flourish from a bottle Johnny the wop gave me
CO2 as high as is comfortable for the fish

Flora;
Cryptocoryne undulata (a beautiful plant)
Cryptocoryne parva
Bolbitis heudelotii
Anubias barteri var. nana
Anubias barteri `coffefolia`
Staurogyne sp
Hygrophyla corymbosa `compact`
Rotala sp `green`
Rotala sp `nanjenshan`
Leptodyctium riparium
Taxiphyllum barbieri
Taxiphyllum sp `spiky moss`

Fauna;
