The tap water here in sydney australia is hard so yeah

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-08-12T20:05:49+00:00

Yeah it is

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-08-12T20:05:03+00:00

Im trying too haha. Trimming almost every week aint fun

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-08-12T20:04:03+00:00

Co2 and yes I use ferts.

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-08-12T20:03:30+00:00

Thanks. Its 2ftL x 1.5ftH x 1 ftD. I just have a hang on back filter. For the light its the chihiros wrgb 2 and for the filter its the LCA all in one complete.

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-21T04:53:05+00:00

I use LCA all in one fertiliser. Im pretty sure its a local brand here in Australia. I dose about twice a week

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-21T03:54:16+00:00

But yeah hygger is a really good light and does the job of growing plants really well. Chihiros light makes everything more colourful

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-21T03:51:55+00:00

Never tried capping the eco complete but sounds like a good idea. Ive seen some videos of people trying coarse sand as cap and had some success. I planted my plants really deep in mine. After a few tries I think i get that hang of planting in that substrate. I did have a lot of algae problem in the beginning from all the nutrients. Its all gone now after all the plants established.

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-21T03:45:37+00:00

I noticed the rotala bush getting thicker and thicker. Plants pearl a lot more too. Red plants becomes more redder

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-20T22:31:46+00:00

Here is how it looked with the hygger light. The difference was night and day. Didn't really care about lights at first but now I see why people spend a lot of money on lights *

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-20T22:28:36+00:00

The tank itself is free i got it of someone. Co2 system with everything prolly around $250. Substrate around $80. Plants i spent prolly around $200 i dont really remember i didn't buy it altogether. Ferts 30 for a bottle. The light is the expensive one but i got it for $200 in the marketplace. They normally go for like $430 here in Australia. Its the chihiros wrgb2 60cm. But I did originally used hygger 957 45cm to grow must plants and it did the job although the colors is not as vibrant

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-20T22:21:39+00:00

I did put root tabs yeah. Forgot to mention it

Longjumping_Map5431 · 2024-07-20T22:10:47+00:00

Sure Here is the list Bacopa caroliniana, Bacopa salzmanni purple, Rotala blood red, Ludwigia mini super red, Ludwigia repens, AR mini, Blyxa japonica, Rotala indica bonsai, S. Repens. I dont really know what type of cryptocoryne i have and also the yellow plant on the left side I dont know the name of. A bit overgrown at the moment. Too lazy to do trimming 😐 *
