My New Tank

[AndyOleszczuk]

Very nice tank Idlefingers. Where did you get it ?. I never even knew that Eheim did tanks .

 

[idlefingers]

Thanks!

I think the tank is actually made by MP (the manual says MP Eheim), they have a partnership with Eheim and Jager and sell packages with tank, filter and heater from the three brands.

I bought it from A-Z Aquatics just outside of Crewe.

Finally got around to taking a pic. Here's the thread where I just asked what it is:

Idlefingers, you are a star. Been trying to identify this plant for weeks.It is Hygrophilia Corymbosa

 

[idlefingers]

Well, I've made quite a few changes over the last few days:

Added:
bogwood/slate cave for my King Tiger plec
Hemianthus Callitrichoides
Hygrophila Corymbosa (which is now making me think the other one is something different; they don't look the same)
Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis
Eheim Pro II 2026
Started using Seachem Flourish & Excel (rather than basic fortnightly fertiliser)

Removed:
all of the pondweed
some wisteria
most of the java moss (it'd grabbed onto a load of gravel and looked really tatty)

I should probably go to the planted forum to ask this question, but is 200L (52g) too big for the fermentation bottle CO2?

I had a little fiddle today...

It was a little expensive, but I just couldn't resist getting the large windelov. I've just ordered a co2 system, too, so I cant wait to see the effects of that once it gets going!

Any comments / suggestions greatly appreciated!
