New planted tank


inverted

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Just like to share my latest planted tank..... It's in the Dutch style.

The scape is very young so has a fair bit of growing to do.

Substrate is a mix of flourite and mr aqua with root tabs.

Has 48watts of t5 lighting. And I'm running co2.

Anyway here it is.

I like it .....except the red plants seem too evenly spaced (one at each end, and one in the centre). Red plants tend to draw the eye when grown amongst green plants, so it may be better to have them growing together in one area, preferably left or right of centre (rule of thirds).

This tank has become ... Undutch!

its very overgrown ... Has moss ledges stuck on the walls. I've trimmed it hard and gave away a bunch of trimmings on our shrimp keepers community page on Facebook!

Here is the tank as it is right now.

Everything seems to  grows well in this tank..... substrate is a mix of  seachem fluorite,mr aqua and fulvic grains.

 I occasionally dose of seachem flourish.  

I run co2 at 2bps.

Lighting is dual t5 fluvals life glo and I've recently added a pro z led.

There are crs, red rillis,endlers and a otocinclus ( there was 10 but they are dying one by one. Im convinced they need a tank that's pure algae).

I will strip this tank down soon and rescape it
