Planted journey

Something different but i feel this should be a cichlid tank

 

Just felt like taking some pictures and showing the progress. plants is growing. Fish is healthy want more rummy nose and oto's still present but I hardly see them only with a torch at night

 

My shrimp set ups to be... Looking for some wood and plants to fill up and remove what I don't like.
Setup running for 2 months, recently rescaped and DSM had algae issues which seem to go better now

 

Looks very good

 

Thanks should improve over time. Need to full my co2 tank but want to find out how i can improve my filter since it's shrimp and heard they sensitive to ph changes and high co2 levels

Want to run lily pipe from internal filter.
Currently have spray bar

 

I don't think the ph changes will affect the shrimp as it is a gradual change up and down.

So i can just lower spray bar for less water distributions? And try just for surface movement

 

As we all know sometimes life gets in the way of your hobbies but I am glad to be back and to see the hobby still on the net.

The last time I came back to a dead site but I see some nice inspirations for the planted journey.

My shrimp tank is back up and running but desperately in need of some plants.

before:



after the break:








As you can see I have lost a few plants and need to fill in the tank

 

The 900 will be up and running in a few months as I am currently getting all puzzles in order to get the picture right. I just needed more water and had to set up the shrimp tank

 

Looking great so far @Innocent159

Look forward to more updates

 

Thanks guys will surely put effort and time into the 900cm as well to get the foundation right as it helps a lot in the long run.

 

After loadshedding and turning the timer to the current time I was blessed with this. Im excited





I need to get micro lens asap.

 

Tank does not look like much and got a long way to go but happy with the start.

Can't wait for plants and shrimp to multiply









Glosso and more buce added.

More buce to come as well

 

The carpets going to be a nice contrast

 

Looking very very nice @Innocent159

Yep.. once the plants all start growing and filling in, its going to look amazing, love it!

 

Decided to swap the 10w flood light for dual t5ho bulbs.
Hopefully don't cause algae issues.

The coverage is better and plants pop under the purple bulb

 

Light fitted last night after work


Plants growing so good sign



Just notice two shrimplets and a different barried shrimp (h)
I am over the moon
