72lts - Ryuboku Layout 2009

Maciek · 06-07-2009, 05:21 PM

Hello guys,
I would like to show you my second tank, on which I've been recently working on. It is a relatively low tech layout, with slow growing plants, no CO2 and low light. I really enjoy it this way, there is not much to do with the tank, even minor algae problems do not appear, and the choosen types of plants seem to enjoy such conditions.
There is also one interesting thing about the layout, which I never met before - I don't really know what to do with it, I mean I have no clear vision of the aquascape in the future. I think I should just trim mosses and wait for the rest of the plants to grow. Will see what happens

Some tank specs:
Aquarium: 60x40x30cm - 72lts
Filtration: Hagen AquaClear 30
Lighting: 2x18W Arcadia Freshwater 10h daily (during the 1st month - 1x18W 8h)

Substrate: Rataj: Stare Dno, Nowe Dno, Dno Rzeki
Fertilization: K2SO4 (5ppm at WC), MgSO4 (10ppm at WC), EasyLife EasyCarbo (2ml daily), PG Macro (2ml twice a week), Rataj Bioflor (3ml twice a week). I am thinking of using FERKA Rosetta tabs here, as Echinodorus plants are not in perfect condition (although they grow really nice).

Hardscape: Driftwood, Manten Stone
Plants: Echinodorus angustifolius, Echinodorus tenellus, Microsorum sp. 'Phillipine', Taxiphyllum sp., Vesicularia sp.
Fish & Inverts: Crossochelius siamensis, Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi, Paracheirodon simulans, Nannostomus marginatus, Red Cherry shrimps

The layout is almost 2 months old now.

All comments welcome!

I have looked for ryuboku, there are plenty of shots but no guidelines for this scape type. can help me find more about ryuboku and its guidelines?
If you know some info in russian, this would be as good too

Really simple but clean and nice. Good work, seems to me like a perfect shrimp-tank
