    Seeing as my plant holding tank keeps over growing, I've decided to setup a small planted display tank :bigsmile: which will be a "cosmopolitan" setup and not speficic to any bio type.

    Specs

    Aquarium: 240L Standard 120 x 45 x 45 in 6mm glass with double euro bracing

    Filtration: Internal Via Aqua Bio Filter

    Heating: Via Aqua 300w Heater

    Lighting: 6 Sylvania 6 500K T5s running on dual ballasts plus 2 no-name 10 000K T5s running on a dual ballast. Water proof end caps. Polished Aluminium Reflector.

    CO2: Presurised CO2 injection. 5Kg bottle with Speed Regulator and Solenoid Valve.

    Substrate: Midnight Sparkle.

    Supplements: Water Column = Seachem Excel. Substrate (roots) = Sera Florenette.

    Decor: Red Jasper Rocks

    Fauna: Red Map Discus, Leopard Discus, Albino Longfin Ancistrus, Sterbai Corys, Sunburst Cockato Apistos and Double Red Agassizi Apisto.

    Flora: lots of different plants :blink1: that will be listed as they're planted.
