[DaveW]

It's been 2 months since change from plastic plants to real ones.

Hope you all like it.

Indeed i do DaveW.

It looks like you are using sand from the photo,are you using anything else as i am about to set mine up this weekend.?

 

[Unphased]

looks good =)

 

[DaveW]

Cheers Guppy Dave.
It all just sand, with a few root fertiliser tablet push under the Lily's and Borneo swords. I am planning to strip the whole thing down so I can put in some API Laterite with the sand, or I might change to gravel. But I know that some people use sand with root tablets and have a lot of success.

I was thinking about a laterite or eco-complete for the base of my tank then cover it with sand.

As i have said in my introductions post i have been away from tropical life for a while and only recently decided to come back,so seeing all these great tanks and hearing all your advice is helping me tremendously.Thanks.

Dave.

Same hear, I had a few tanks before but only had this one for 6 months. If you are interested in growing plants, check out the "plants and planted tank" forum. You can pick up lots of very good advice by just reading through threads! Saying that, you can pick up good advice in all the forums.

Nice tank, what's the wpg you have?

 

[DaveW]

Thanks.
It's only 1.2 WPG. I have got new lighting that I have yet to put in, which will make it 2.2 WPG.
