Hi,

I just wanted to share my tanks last design.

I had only HC Cuba for past 5-6 weeks, as the Tropica import was made to Turkey a few days ago, I just bought some new plants.

Equipment:
1.1 W/Litres lightinh (grolux-aquastar bulbs)
Tetratec Ex600 external filter
5kg+2kg pressurized CO2 system
Red Sea Vortex 500 reactor
Weipro pH controller
Hailea Chiller
Sera 50W heater

Temp is 24.7 C degrees, pH is around 6.35

Today I've added;
Staurogyne repens
Alternenthera reineckii "pink"
Pogestemon helferi
Dipidis diandra
Hemianthus micranthemoides

What do you think about it? :smile:

How's the aquarium hobby flourishing in Istanbul, Turkey?

I think this tank is a great start. The HC is looking lush. I think the tank will look even better when the plants grow in a little more.

Nice tank. HC is doing nicely.

I can say that the interest in aquariums have been increasing rapidly, but the professionals still have to provide their supplies from other countries.

So it's a growing market, but not with a J curve as it is in Europe USA or Japan...

BTW, thanks for the comments. HC's are on their 73. day. It is interesting that I had only a few roots of HC after a new setup of the aquarium, then somehow they've started growing extremely. :mrgeen:

From the Turkey distributor of Tropica

I think you can find a local seller around where you live, or you can try your chance on internet...
