My new 32g tank journal

Hello,

As I am currently starting the setup of a new 128L (32G water column aprox.) tank, I decided to start a journal here for sharing it with you all and of course get your valuable opinions and advices with the hope to obtain the best possible results.

I am located in Medellin, Colombia. A place where it is difficult to find equipment and plants but I will do my best. From a friend I expect to obtain some moss, java ferns and some Cyperus helferii, and some Crypts and Echinodorus are already available in the fish shops here.

I'd love to have Echinodorus tenellus, HC and Monosolenium tenerum but that is virtually impossible to find here. Will have to look for those plants outside this country and hope that they travel ok in the mail.

By the way, If someone knows where I can try to order this plants please let me know.

Currently I already have my tank, an exterior Hagen Power Filter and for the lights I bought 6 20W Phillips Essential CF bulbs rated at 6500K. I also got a nice driftwood but will have to polish it because it has one very unnatural looking cut.

Then I will fill the tank and submerge the driftwood for some time and use that time for getting the canopy and base done.

I will start with DIY CO2 and use a small internal filter as CO2 reactor making some modifications as shown by one thread in this nice forums.

Here is a picture of the tank and the driftwood in the position I want to use for it when it's ready.



Until the next time,

Sebastian
