next comes planting. it is an ongoing process and more plants will be added as i go along.
filled the tank a bit with water...
planting process
a shot of lilly pipes...
and the ADA difuser...
a shot from the top...
the plants i have used so far are:
Glosso
cardamine lyrata
hydrocotyle vulgaris
golden creeping jenny
micranthemum umbrosum
hemianthus calitrichoides
and christmass moss (which i have left on the surface floating till i get the ferns and anubias from Richard)
oh yeah.. i have been adding green bacter (1 drop for every 10l of water every day) and Phyton Git (1 drop for every 5l of water once a week) as recomended by Mr Amano. in a couple more days will start adding BrightyK. using this little treat for it:
put a bag of TourmalineF inside the fliter canister as well. the filter is superquiet and there is a good flow everywhere in the tank (in every corner).
the pearling as you can see in the pics is caused by the substrate. for some reason every time i inserted the plants in with the pincettes a load of bubbles exploded out of the substrate.
some pictures of the inside of the cabinet:
pump..
tools and co2 canister and solenoid....
