And there you have it!
Just shows how you come along in 1yr.
What i have learned:
dont skimp on CO2 or Nutrients - this only brings you algae, algae & more algae.
buy everything at the start - this saves messing things up every so often, for example i bought the pressurized CO2 4month later, if i had waited i would of had any problems.
leave enough width & depth for pruning - i had decent width, but the depth was only 3" at most, so it was difficult for me to slope the stems towards the rear, which lacked depth
Specs:
60litre/ 15gallon
60 x 30 x 30
36w PC T5
fluval 205 external - 660l/ph - 11x turnover
JBL aquabasis+ capped with sand
2kg pressurized CO2 (made using a fire extinghuisher - thanks Sam!)
3ml Tropica Plant Nutrition+ daily
15 black neons
loads of red cherry shrimp
hemianthus micranthemoides
hemianthus callitrichoides
microsorum pteropus "narrow"
cryptocoryne wendtii "green"
Pogostemon Helferi
Thanks for looking! Aaron
Ps. Thanks to everyone who has helped me, by constructive advice, or donations
