TJ - Fish Room Tank 2 Southeast-asian-river

Hi TASA

Tank 2 completed today.

As per thread description - Southeast Asian river setup and the new home to my tiger barbs and rainbow shark.

Here's a link to setting up this biotope setup

https://en.aqua-fish.net/biotopes/southeast-asian-river

Used the same plants as per link except I didn't add the hygrophila polysperma which I will as at a later stage when it's grown out a bit in the high tech tank. I also didn't use a red / clay substrate as I thought it was a bit pointless to get more substrate as I would need to order online.

 

How many tanks left now?

 

It looks great!

 

1 x3 ft and the the 2x 4ft, the 150l with sump I'm also changing but my tiger barbs are growing out a bit in it for now while this tank cycles.

I want to start with the West-African tank so its ready for when the rope fish arrives!!

Thanks @DoubleDutch

I had that website when I did my research but lost it somewhere and couldn't find it. Thanks for sharing it. I'm gonna bookmark straight away

 

Only 4 tanks. Looks like you half way done. Can't wait to see the rest

 

One of them might be mine the 2.4 might be going to @TetraJacques

 

Thank you @Reedfish

 

Yeah, the fish room has moved along quite quickly

 

That's true. Its looking good now, but will look even better in time as they grow in

 

Looking great, when those plants grow in it is going to look amazing

 

Thanks @GaryG, It looks a bit bare atm so time will tell. These crypts grows sooooooo sloooooooooow and adding CO2 to this tank would be a waste imo.

 

What did you use for substrate here? Is it langa?

 

Wait till they start growin. Then there is no hold to it hahahaha.

No, not to happy Langa. Bottom layer Amazonia II mixed with JBL Aquabasis caped with Prodibio Aquagrowth. I had the amazonia from the old planted tank so I thought I'd might as well use it to fill up the back of the tank. The Aponogeton Crispus and the Crypts has heavy roots so it needs a thicker substrate. It's probably a bit over the top in terms of the type of substrate for these plants but it works well.

 

Yes, soon I will be giving away a bunch of vallies as I definitely don't want them to take over

 

All I'm hearing is $$$$$$
