The Making of a Planted Tank

Why not enter for TOTM?

 

@Ryno whats wrong with guppies?
@andries Yeah I think it is time, will take a verification picture tonight

 

Im just not a guppy fan. Nothing wrong with them

 

LOL - guppies are cool, you get to either see them multiply like rats or some use them as live feed. I love my guppies as long as the tank temp stays above 15, nothing more sad than all the guppies going slow on you. Must say I added a handful from blackjack to luck13, guppies livened the tank up in an instant.

I can see how some will not like guppies - actually think it is more a size thing than anything else, some like the show of a Discus in a planted tank other the movement of large volumes of guppies (I like them cause they cause havoc for some schooling fish everything just gets busy).

Later Ferdie

 

I like small fish. Microrosbas and rosy loaches are awesome. For me all the live bearers that i dont like. Also not a big fan of discus theyre not lively enough for me. Love rainbows for that reason

 

Looks great!!

What substrate are you using?

 

@Roxi_B4b3 that is an amazing looking tank...I get jellous when I see tanks like this :reddy:haha

 

@Deem: I'm using Cal Aqua Black Earth
@HennieRoux: Thanks :cheesy:

 

wow this is beautiful. what substrate are you using and what fertilisation? wow

 

Like I said earlier, Cal Aqua's Black Earth, and for ferts I'm using N,P,K, Iron, Traces, DIY CO2 and currently dosing daily Excel to manage my algae problem

 

Looks really good. +1 TOTM , you got a winner there

 

Looks really good. Keep posting pics it's nice to see the development.
