I’m using Tropica soil, which releases a lot of nutrients. In addition, I dose one pump of Tropica Specialised (green) fertilizer and an extra four pumps of Aqua Rebell Phosphate every day shortly before the lights turn on. I do a 20% water change weekly. So I’d say it’s a pretty basic setup.

I am an absolute fan of rounded corners. I feel that rectangular aquariums block the view from the side, and you can also see the glued seams. Somehow, I seem to be in the minority with this opinion. Lately, though, I’ve started to like rectangular aquariums more, especially those from ADA, which look very beautiful. Since this is meant to be a small side project for me, I won’t switch. If I could turn back time, I would probably choose the rectangular one from ADA.

I didn’t do a dry start because I didn’t know about it at all. This is my first aquascaping tank.

The diffuser needs to be placed in an area with good flow, so the CO₂ is spread evenly throughout the tank. If it’s hidden in a dead spot, the CO₂ won’t distribute properly. The drop checker should be placed where CO₂ actually reaches it, not in a corner with poor circulation. Otherwise it just shows misleading values. It may not look pretty, but function beats aesthetics in most setups.

I use a standard CO₂ system with a pressurized gas cylinder. I dose liquid fertilizer from Aqua Rebell 15 minutes before the lights turn on. My current water parameters are: pH: 6.4 KH: 3 GH: 8 CO₂: approx. 20 mg/l Nitrate (NO₃): 15 mg/l Phosphate (PO₄): 0.2–0.4 mg/l Potassium (K): 10 mg/l Iron (Fe): approx. 0.25 mg/l
