Just wanted to give a preview of my current work in progress planted tank.
It's a fluval EBI, 2 stock lights (I bought a second) and the stock filter.
It currently has a second HOB filter that will eventually be used for another future tank build, it's just there getting all nice and full of bacteria in the mean time.
The substrate is a mix of fine gravel (forgot the brand) and fluval shrimp stratum.
It's got a pretty random mix and match of plants at the moment, most of which I can't even remember the names. The hard scape is currently floating in my fish pond to sink so ill update it when I add the driftwood (2 pieces of gold vine)
I'm also using ADA green brighty step 2 as ferts and I'm rather happy with this product!
The current stocking is JUST to keep the cycle (two platies, one female betta, 2 small mystery snails and a sucking catfish to help with the Algae) all these fish with the exception of the betta will be re-homed to my mums 30 gallon community tank, the betta will recieve her own tank in due time!
My stocking will eventually be one male dwarf gourami and possibly some red cherry shrimp but I'm not sure how the two will mix (so much conflicting information on the net)
Enjoy!
Edit: sorry for the blurry photos, they look so clear on my phone until I upload them somewhere *hating iPhone 5*
