Hey guys, this is my first post so excuse me if it's in the wrong place etc,
Just wanted some advice really and feedback.
Currently running an interpet fishpod 48litre tank (dimensions are: w39cm x d33cm x h43cm)
Filter I am running is an interpet pf1 (380litres/hour) - my water is crystal clear and never had any issues with it!
Heater is interpet delta therm (not sure what wattage but it came with the tank)
Lighting also came with the tank (15w bright day white) - not sure how this rates for planting so anyone that knows it's be handy to find out!
Currently I have been running the tank for about 3 years, with about 1-2inches of sand substrate, nice piece of bogwood and some pebbles/stones I found at the beach on holiday (and boiled and soaked for a few weeks to sterilise), recently I have bought a few more plants as mine all died off, and restocked the fish (I think I'm overstocked at the moment) but so far have 5 rosy barbs, 1 sucking loach and 7 Malaysian trumpet snails,
Recently planted about 10-15 java fern plants and have had 5-6 marimo moss balls,
I bought some fertiliser 'Florido g7+' as he dry mix ferts I've seen looks pretty complex,
I currently do weekly water changes of about 25% and plan on fertilising following bottle instructions once a week (the day ip out fresh water in)
Below are some images of my tank so far:
I look forward to any suggestions you have
