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 !

Nice layout! One point - it might just be me, but I think it would look nicer with sand in the open foreground area rather than the flourite.

thanks for your comment.
I hesitate with the position of the HC and the visible flourite ...

Looks very nice.

I see that you don't give CO2. Maybe you should start thinkig about it in nearest future.

Maybe you should considere some plant with bigger flakes (some dark green).
Maybe, to try to move rotala rotundifolia closer to the middle of aquarium.
Try to "open" a little bit setup.

All the best with setup.

Very pretty! It has a carefree feel with the comical guppies and delicate Bororas.
The textures seem to lose each other a bit, IMO. But I think once everything really grows in, it'll be spectacular. Nice work hideki!!

hideki

thank you all !!

about the Co2 I've forgot this point, but I give co2 in this tank, no soucy !!

about the guppy, I had to give them, but I did'nt find anyone ...

How do you hold your HC down?

Very nice start! Are you planning on letting the HC grow across the foreground, or are you going to keep it confined to what it's attached to now?

Great looking tank there!
