Chuppy's 15Gal. Low Light set-up. - Aquascaping

Chuppy · 06-28-2008, 06:41 AM

Hey all here's another one of my set-up.. Since I was bored.. and i never tried a true low-light plants set-up.

Some specs:
Tank: 60cmL x 30cmD x 34cmH approx 15gal.
Substrate: 2 bags of Flourite Black Sand.
C02: Pressurized currently at 1bps
Light: Currently- 11wx2=22w gonna upgrade into 36wx2=72w ..
Filter: A plain HOB filter.
Fertilizer: Unplanned yet.. Suggestions? Preferably the ADA range as i have them at hand.

Some might say that there isn't a need to upgrade the lights, but. the WPG rule doesnt apply from 20gal downwards.

Pics:

I couldn't get a proper FTS as the old tank(with fauna) is blocking my way..

Current Entire Set-up

Close-up on the Focal Point

Some Crypt.Parva

Slight idea of my set-up with the Iwagumi tank...

Just SHaring.. A view of the modified Bathroom into a fish/shrimp room LOL!
the rack to the left is my shrimp rack..

Here's a better view of it.. the top tank is getting infested with algae..

A slight idea how each tank looks like...Okay getting out of topic here

Anyways, all comments and critics are most welcome for the tank(s) lol.
Please do suggest more plants to add into the 15.gal. as I am brain dead on what to do witht he empty right side of the tank..Leave it empty? LOL

The rocks underneath the branches look out of place to me. what will the livestock be?

Hmm I'll try to play around with it tomorrow .. Maybe make a MINI-wagumi ahaha

I like it. If the emptiness of the right begins to get to you why not carry the bolbitis all the way across the back.

I'll reconsider that.. But for now I am sticking to my triangular scape frame.. means Tall left low right.. Most probably I'll end up builidng a moss carpet there...

hmm i think a group of red would look good with some green mixed in. rotala macandra and rotala rotun. ?

edit: thats for when you get the higher lights though

Wella s for now I am trying to limit myself to low light dark green-ish plants... goes well with the flourite LOL!
