Now when I have put this tank down, I put a new thread here with pics in chronological series of my tank during the time I kept it. This time is between May 2007 and February 2009.

Size: 40*25*25cm
Until the scape called "Swedish Forest", I used only EasyCarbo as carbon-source but I ofcourse also dosed with PMDD. When I switched the layout into Swedish Forest I began using real CO2 and a glass diffuser
At the same time as I began using CO2, I also switched the gravel into Eco-Complete and I changed my filter into an other type of hang-on filter, which was better in my eyes.
The lightning was all the time 2x 11watt compact flourescent tubes from the swedish company IKEA, some kind of DIY solution here Not very effective light, but it worked for me.

I hope you enjoy it!

the moss on the volcano, what kind?

this is a fantastic series of photos showing the progression of you tank and how you've tried numerous styles/layouts.

great job putting it all together.

Hello, thanks for writing something

The moss on Volcano is Cladophora ageagrophila (ordinary mossball).
I don't know what kind of pipefishes I bought, I tried to find out but there is so many different kinds so I still don't know.
