    Have not started a tank build thread in a forum for a long time.. so bear with me..:)

    One of the reasons I like tank build threads is that there is so much to learn from it, and the feeback is always welcome, good or bad..

    So this tank is names Congo LoFi. It is 90cm long, 45 wide and 45 tall. A classic 90P. Was made by Gapedi when I got to SA first, about 6 years ago.. Solid tank.

    Cabinet is an ADA replica, also made in SA. Very sturdy, bought it from some guys at APSA a few years back.

    This tank will have lot of moss, anubias, ferns, bolbitis and buces.

    For wood I will use two bags of Kameeldoring. Normal braai wood.

    Substrate will be a mix really. Ferts will be Seachem. It works for me.. will have co2 injected.. and filter is a large JBL, and a eheim hangon filter.

    Will have a wave maker, I like water movement in the tank.

    Fish are just ottos, some corydoras, one bristlenose, and rummy noses.. shrimp will be just plain cheap shrimp, they will be there to just clean up really. A few nerites also..

    So that is the plan.. let's see if it works..

    Braai Wood is now soaking.. :)

    I removed all the plants and previous wood from the tank.. this is how it looks now..
