Default Mini M journal
(This was first posted on www.aquascapingworld.com but i post it here to)

Hi
Started my Mini M aquarium today.
Its my second planted tank and first time I use pressurised CO2.

Specifications:
Tank: 36x22x26 cm. Not ADA, but only difference is that there is no ADA logo.
Lightning: ADA Solar Mini M
Substrate: ADA AS Amazonia - 3 l.
Filter: Eheim 2211 with glass lily pipes (New Mini Outflow 9mm [NMO] - Ģ21.99 : Aqua Essentials)
Hardscape: Two pieces of Red Moor wood and Mini Landscape rocks (I think you call it seiryu seki in the US) and ADA moss balls.
Fertilizers: Tropica plant nutrition+, presurissed CO2 system.
Plants: Weeping moss, fontinalis dalecarlica, staurogyne sp., downoi, Rotala sp. "green". R. sp. "nanjenshan", glosso or HC, R. wallichii and maybe Microsorum sp. "narrow" will be added soon.

I have no pics when its waterfilled because its a bit cloudy and "messy" know...
Please tell me what you think!

I think it will be awesome. What are your plans for livestock? Perhaps consider a black background?

Thanks for your comments.
waterfaller1: I donīt want a black background on this tank. Will try to find some transperant white film or just white paper and use that as background.
The livestock will be shrimp and a small school of boraras or another small schooling fish.

Kakkoii: Patience It have to grow in a bit first.

Heres a close-up of staurogyne sp. Iīm not so good at photographing and the camera is crappy so the quality isnīt so good....


I wonīt update with any full shots before it has grown in a bit and the water has cleared up, because it doesnīt looks so good know when the plants havenīt settled yet...
