    Hey guys

    My name is Mikki and I’m new to both the forum as well as the hobby.
    I tried my hand at a planted aquarium after watching a YouTube video and it has consumed all of my time for the last 2 months.

    My tank is a 60cm, 2x zetlight 1200, dophin canister filter, and co2. upload_2020-6-11_17-40-41.jpeg

    Lovely ..

    For your next photo shoot, remove the equipment, leave the lights on, play with adding a dark background on the outside of the tank.

    Can totally see how this would consume 2 months of your time -- you are running it at max growth throttle, much like the guys that do competition scapes.

    To move out of newby status MTS needs to bite then we good ;-)

    Later Ferdie
