G'day guys, new to the forum, I had a freshwater aquarium through my teens but but it's been a few years since then, decided to set up a tank I've had sitting in a corner for years. Tank is about 50L water with substrate and hardscape, custom 20W LED I made a couple years ago, been cycling for a month with API Quickstart, I remodelled today and added the driftwood, previously only poorly composed lava rock. There's about 10 cherry shrimp, 6 cardinal tetras and a bunch of random snails. Plants include Thin Vallisneria, Hair Grass, 2 random Crypts, Christmas Moss and a few Bolbitus. Probably going to add some rotala to fill out the background. Let me know how I did.

Pfft, the only good doctor was Tom Baker and William Hartnell. Shoo David Tennant, you bad guy from Harry Potty

Tag me if you need help.

How does one "tag" someone else?
I've been wanting to ask but I didn't know what it was called. Yay!

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Tagging is this: @vanalisa

You type a “@“ first, and then the persons name. If you don’t know the person’s name or just a few letters, start to type it in, it will look like this:

Thank's all, I really enjoyed setting this up. Was a bit of a pain replanting so soon but that's what I get for not putting enough thought in initially.

Welcome!
I concur, great grass, sweet tank.
Substrate?

The substrate is Pisces Aquaearth, seems to be pretty good, the hairgrass had heaps of new roots before I replanted and 0 ammonia and nitrite after the first week.

Welcome, tank is looking good. What do you mean by poorly composed lava rock?
