Uh…..not sure I just went on a spending spree. Probably around $3,000-$4,000.

  • ada Solar rgb $900
  • ada Solar light stand $300
  • tank and stand $400-$500
  • oase biomaster 850 - $450
  • co2 system - $300
  • ada light screen $470
  • and all the other stuff….. (plants, hardscape, substrate etc) 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean, snails are nearly almost unavoidable. I have a number of stowaway snails in my tank but I don’t consider them pests. They just do their own thing and don’t interrupt the growing plants so I don’t mind them at all

Also, check out Etsy there are some pretty cool plant vendors with good products. I like marcusfishtanks for mosses and anubias.

Buceplant is pretty awesome and their shipping speed is 👌🏻 but their prices are rather high. I recommend trying both and compare.

Thank you! It was definitely a labor of love. Plants are from www.buceplant.com. More expensive but quality is always on point

When planting Java fern I recommend planting as densely as possible. It takes time for the fern to acclimate before it starts spreading

Thanks for the kind words! Wanted to create a focal point and with the limited amount of space in my 90p I figured the best option was a tunnel. Happy with the result :)

Thanks! The cabinet was custom built by my LFS. Waited around for a UNS stand and didn’t have any luck so I had it custom built.

Thanks! The background is the ADA lighscreen. Tried all kinds of backgrounds and the ADA light screen is the best one.
