Hi there,

I am in the process of doing a journal but would thought I would share the latest shot of my tank, I am pleased with the progress so far but opinions from an outside source would be appreciated. Oh it's 130 liters

Regards Darren

It looks good and very healthy. Is that your heater behind the lotus? It's rather distracting, whatever it is.

I use rain water to fill my tanks as our tap water is a joke.

I run 2x2 liter bottles of DIY Co2 recipe is 2 cups of sugar a sachel of bakers yeast then fill with water warmed to 40 degrees c about 10cm from the top, I find the warm water gets it going quicker. I make a new batch for one bottle every 2 weeks alternating bottles each time.

Dino Dung http://www.aquagreen.com.au/plant_da...saur_Dung.html
Dino Spit http://www.aquagreen.com.au/plant_da...saur_Spit.html

From this company http://www.aquagreen.com.au/catalog.html and I have found them to be fantastic really great I also add 2 dried speed poo pellets under all my root feeders this seems to give them a rapid boost until the roots reach the dino dung.
