This is my African garden tank. All the plants come from Africa or African islands. The plants in this 30 gallon are:
Madagascar lace plant, (Aponogeton madagascariensis) Lilaeopsis mauritius, (narrow micro sword), Tiger lotus, (Nymphaea sp.), Anubias barteri var nana, Anubias barteri var coffefolia, Anubias minima, and Bolbitis heudelotii, (African fern)
The substrate is Schultz clay conditioner. Lighting is two overhanging 48 " 40 watt fluorescents, yes the bulbs are longer than the tank! No C02 added.
I wrote about this tank in my monthly column in FAMA magazine. What do you think?
