Hi, i thought it was about time i posted an update on the above aquarium. The last time i talked about this aquarium i had just purchased an aquatlantis horizon deco nano aquarium which i planned to have as planted, and i had concerns about the led lighting.

Well approximately 3 months on, all is going well, plants are growing in nicely and fish are happy, and no algae (just got to deal with the snail infestation)

Some details:

flourite substrate, daily doses of easycarbo and ferropol 24 and weekly doses of ferropol fertilizer with my weekly water changes. Lighting on twice a day (4 hours in morning and 5 hours in evening)

10 endlears livebearers, 6 cherry shrimp and 1 assassan snail

Hope you enjoy (if photos dont show here i have created an album)

+1 on the lighting. Great looking plant growth! Love the setup definitely. Also that wood decoration fits perfectly! I'm jealous :)
 
They are LEDs that came with the aquarium, and that was my concern when buying this tank. There are 76 of them giving 6w in total but obviously is enough. :)
