I would like to share my low light jungle scape. It has been running for about 3 months. It grows very slow. Algae is near non existent and the scape is very low maintenance. System Specs: 12 gallon Mr. Aqua, 19x12x12" Filter: Eheim Ecco 2232 Light: Archaea 45cm LED Pressurized CO2 with atomic atomizer from GLA and aquatek flow regulator Flora: Crypt. lucens, Crypt. lutea, Crypt wendtii, Crypt. parva, fissidens fontanus, fissidens geppii, other assorted mosses, flame moss, hygrophilia corymbosa "compact", eleocharis acicularis, anubias nana petite, narrow leaf microsword, eleocharis belem, echinodorus tenellus, staurogyne repens (049) Fauna: 12 Microrasbora erythromicron, neocaridina heteropoda "yellow"
Thanks, guys! This tank has been so easy to take care of. I miss water changes and sometimes just top it off...no big deal. sometimes i forget to add ferts...no big deal. It can go without CO2 for a few days, longer probably. I planned to take it to my office, but I didn't like the logistics of changing 4-6 gallons of water at work. I will get a small nano for a betta if I want something in my office.
Shawn, I really love this setup. it looks amazing. It's is just what I'd love to have for a betta or similar. Could you tell me a little more about it? I really want a low tech tank I can keep so my mum can look after it when I go on jobs or am away from home. What sort of maintenance do you do on it in terms of daily or weekly ferts etc. Thanks Linds
wow fantastic looking tank. maybe one day my tank will look that good ( and i know it will with a lot of patience and input from forum) thanks greenfinger2
Alas, this one is no more. Plan to up the lighting and do a practice dutch before attempting one in my 90p this summer.
hi Shawn, NO i loved that scape. but all good things come to a end cannot wait to see new project piccheers roy
