Default 60L : set up & evolution

Hello all !!

here my new tank, a 60L (60*30*35), it replace my old 54L

description :
filtration : eden 501 300L/H
+ 600L/H
lighting : 3*18W (2 biolux + 1 aquastar)

plants : hemianthus micranthemoides, hemianthus callitrichoides cuba, rotala rotundifolia, rotala indica, rotala sp. green, rotala nanjenshan, ludwigia arcuata, pogostemon helferi, blyxa japonica, eleocharis acicularis, potamogeton gayi, didiplis diandra, cryptocoryne parva

fish and shrimps : red cherry + bororas maculatus, corydoras pygmaeus, guppy.

and now the report (warning for 56K)

set up of the substrate (Aquacare, Tropica)


After that : a mixture of black quartz and flourite. Two reasons of that mix : it allows me to make thicker floor because I did not have a lot of flourite, and the mix is good looking I think ^^


The flourite is set, to finish a final mix with black quartz


The mix is done ! and the adjustment too


So i can put watter ... oh my god, the flourite cloud the tank !!


It's good now, I can push my fish in the tank !


So I can start the planting... but it cloud again the tank, enjoy the flourite ^^


After a night ... and the add of small stones ...





12 days later :




today (19 days later) :









I'm thinking about removing the rotala rotundifolia and replace it by rotala indica !

I'm waiting about critique and advices

ps : please excuse my english !
