My New Planted Cube

[Cheese Specialist]

Hey,

I set up my newest tank yesterday, it's been a while in the making. I got my plants weeks ago and I had to put them in the tank with a couple of inches of water until I got my stand. Luckily most of them not only survived but have grown and propigated!

For my filter I used old media and had it running in the 320l for a few weeks. I finally got my stands (2 2'x1' ones together) on Friday so I could get the tank sorted.

At the moment, its only got 2 koi angels and 4 otos but I plan on adding at least 6 cardinal tetra and either a L066 plec or horse faced loaches.

Whole tank - diagonal view. I tried to make it face this way because I have a sofa on both the sides. Sorry this one's a bit blurry.

The left hand side. I think it faces this wayby accident but I think when the plants grow that will be better.

And finally the right hand side

Hope you like, I'll look forward to hearing what you think.

Very nice CS!

It will probably look even nicer when the plants have grown a little taller / bushier

Yeah the plants need more height but they are not doing too bad. The tank is 24" tall.

Of course I will keep you updated, or you can always click on the links in my signature.
