Aquarium Advice Addict
Man...due to school/lab work and my er...bowel problems lol. I haven't been on this forum too much. I haven't really been maintaining my tanks too well either. No matter though! I've finally finished thinking of a scape and this will be the last one for a long long time to come.
The tank:
ADA: 60P 60cm x 30cm x 35cm
Substrate: Hagen Fluval stratum
Filter: Hagen Fluval 305
Light: Hagen T5HO 48 watt lamp (lol I just happened to buy all hagen stuff)
Ferts: EI
Fauna:
glowlight tetras
otocinclus (mandatory)
Flora:
purple bamboo (poaceaa ea sp. )
ludwigia arcuata
staurogyne sp. 'porto velho
Blyxa japonica
also in tiny amounts because I like them:
Rotala mexicana 'goias' (favoritest plant of all time)
ranunculus innundatus
Hydrocotyle verticillata 'japan'
Still waiting on the manzanita from Tom barr and then I'll almost be ready to go. I still need to culture out more L. arcuata (3-4 week process) and then get rid of my old plants. So keep close to this thread because I'm going to be A. Updating this very frequently and B. giving away free plants to AA members!
The scape is going to be really based on contrasts. I really want the purple hues of the staurogyne and bamboo to play off each other and really contrast with the orangy red/green of the arcuata. The yellow of the blyxa will help break up the uniformity.
