Hi Guys,
Here's my Tank. Its a great compliment to my room decor. I'm going for the japanese garden look, ala Amano style. I hope you like it.
So far, the tank is 11 days old. The only stock in there is a baby SAE and a baby oto.
The hairgrass was a real pain to separate. It came in a huge ball. And then planting it was another story. Same with the glosso. Drove me crazy.
The plants in there are hairgrass, riccia, glosso and some sort of rotalia, together with a taiwan moss wall.
So here goes,
Day 11.
The cost involved ? ($USD)
1) 1.5 feet tank with folded front/side panels - $18
2) Jebo hang on back filter - $6
3) 2L CO2 tank plus regulator, bubble counter and ceramic diffuser - $40
4) 2 x 24w compact fl by Jebo - $60
5) Fine Black Gravel 10kg - $10
6) Ocean Free 1L base fertilizer - $10
7) Taiwan Moss Wall - $8 in total
8) Rotalia - $0.70 one basket
9) Hairgrass - $3 for 1 fistfull
10) Glosso - $3 for 1 fistful
11) 0.5w hang on back computer fan - $6
12) SAE and Oto - $1 each
13) Riccia pretied to driftwood - $7
14) Digital Thermometer - $4
15) Sera CO2 indicator - $10
Total Damage : $188
I will update this thread weekly. So far the plants are growing well, with some hairalgae.
