im gonna set up my aquaqube 40 this week it arrived through the post today as i got home from school i was ecstatic first impressions was i was stunned with the quickness of postage but also my mum also loves the tank she said she wants one lol.
but im now gonna order 25 plants of ebay for 5 pounds, jbl aquabasis 2.5ltr substrate 2kg of black hagen grave to put ontop and a bunch of riccia all off of aquaessentials.
i got another lamp 20 watts so total watts will be 38 watts for 8.9 gallons that is 4.3wpg but if i have this much lighting i will need co2 so im gonna order tetraplant optimat co2 for 10 pounds.
once this is all done i will post some new pics and more info.

The Tetra Optimat system is horrible, no method at all of controlling CO2 levels, tried it and ditched it. Go for the Nutrafin yeast-based kit if you ask me, a few pennies more but much better.

Is that the same aquarium as the PFK freebie? I have one and it is only 5.5 gallons/27 litres/12"x12"x12"
