So. Much. Growth. :thumbup: Hope my tank looks like this one day :) Do you have CO2 in there?
Establishing, and then maintaining, a proper small-scale ecosystem in a fish tank is super hard. No wonder our planet is going down the tubes....
Thanks. Collected over time :) But that vine root just refuses to sink o_O I think it's just not porous enough to absorb enough water to sink. May...
Wood has been soaking in the tank for a few days now. Leaching quite heavily. Will have to do a big water change today / tomorrow.
Update: 08/02/2019 After some pottering about, the hood is assembled. Still need to sort out the position of the lights inside, and paint the...

Well would you look at that :rolleyes: I didn't even see that! Thank you

Is there a current list of blacklisted plants?
Excellent. Will then go with pfs, and perhaps root tabs if needed.
Was looking at low maintenance, low light plants (or at least those not demanding higher light intensities). Probably an Amazon Sword as a feature...
I'm busy setting up my 4ft tank and have been debating (with myself) about the best substrate. After weighing up several options I'm satisfied...
I like the stand, by the way :)
Sorry about the loss! Since you added the substrate & driftwood (and the other elements - water & filter - were the same), I would blame one of...
Tank has been dormant for the past months. Lots of other life stuff happening. But...I've been working on the hood recently, and looking at...
Well this is embarrassing :D 9 months since my last post! And I didn't even reply to you :eek: I'm dreaming of a Tetra tank. Lot's and lots of...
It's been a while. After my previous 4 foot split its seams, and I lost pretty much all my livestock, I didn't really feel like putting any more...
Will be following this :) I'm in the process of getting my new 4 foot up and running and I'm still undecided on the lighting.
Hi, tank is still standing around waiting to be fixed :) :( I haven't started with anything yet. Composted material is a consideration purely...
Beautiful! If you don't mind me asking, how did you do the glossy finish? Is it painted, or veneered? I'd like to do something like that when I...
