Hennie's planted starphire cube

Hi all

So I decided to leave my breeding behind, and move on to a new challenge.

As I need to improve my knlowledge on plants and scaping, I had to get some insperation first as the tank is 60cm high, so with the help of some awesome pople from tasa I managed to come up with this...i know its no winner, but I am proud and feel its got some potential.

Here is what im running....

60x60x60cm starphire cube 220liters
Preasurised co2 Ista system
2 x kessil led's
Black earth sub, with some dragon rock
Tetra canistor 700
Lilly pipes

 

So this is the final results, like I said might not look like much, but I put allot of heart and soul into this.

 

Very nice job... I love the Tetra canister filters...
All you need now is ADA 60P..

 

Looking nice dude, I saw this tank on Saturday really looks sweeet.

 

Hi Hennie

Looks good so far. I think it will look great when all the plants fill out.

 

very neat! That black substrate looks awesome.

 

Thanks guys....now to see how it grows in, and to try and keep the nasty algae away....@Least i have some more experience now, and will not make the same mistake as my planted 4 foot.

 

still like it. wait for it to grow in and you would surprise yourself

 

@Ryno maybe you can tell me what plants I`ve got in my cube...hehe thanks

 

Looks great hope everything goes well

 

hmmm lets think again here. Glosso, HC, ammania senigalisis, stargrass, looks like rotala colorata, nessea something(hehe), cant see the rest pic is unclear

 

all,the plants are in their emmersed form still

 

Thanks @Ryno your guess is spot on....amazing how accurate your guessing can be when you actually give the plants...haha

 

haha ja o ja staurogyne repens also forgot that

 

Looking good Hennie! Very nice indeed!

 

Thanks Sean :five: appreciate.....after watching you guys that day @ Dorrys, I knew its allot of work...but shoeweee, its allot and allot of work, but oh so worth it in the end.

 

That looks like a great start.

 

Awesome man!
