    I just wanted to share this tank with you folks, almost everything used is either salvaged or donated.

    Hardware
    25l curved corner Boyu tank (got as a freebie)
    Hagen Geosystem substrate (left over from another project)
    AquaClear 20 (love these, spare 1 I had)
    Tigerseye stone
    50W heater (about the only new item, temp 25°)
    11W clip on light (freebie from Ruan)

    Software :)
    Valis, Ludwigia, Amazon Sword, Java moss (taken from other tanks)
    2 Bolivian Rams (donated from a friend who didnt want these anymore)

    I will try to get better pics of the Bolivians when I get hold of a better camera, I suspect their growth is a little stunted but they are doing very well so far and colouring nicely. They are between 6-9months old. They will eventually go into a 4ft community one I feel they are ready for it.

    The tank has been running for 3 weeks using mature media from my GBR tank, using mostly RO water with added discus buffers. I do 50% water change weekly adding Sera ferts each time.

    The tank gets a fair amount of natural light filtered through curtains, nothing direct.

    Feel free to share your thoughts
