Heavily planted with crypts, a 70w 5200k MH pendant, EI ferts, CO2 injection using a 2½ Kg fire extinguisher & a DIY reactor built to plantbrain's design.
4 Discus, an Elephant Nose and a few amano shrimps

oooh more pics of the biggest tank please! that's pretty :good:
 
Nice tanks :) don't you loose a lot of CO2 using a sump?
More photos please ;)

Originally, all the CO2 would be driven off within 2 hours of CO2 going off.
I spent a lot of time trying to improve that but with plantbrain's help I got it sorted.
After a lot of work, losses are now minimal.

Miss Wiggle, I'll have a go but I don't have a camera that will go that wide angle. It's only been running five weeks so the plants are still growing in.
 
Beautiful tanks you have there, they all look great so far, look forward to seeing update pics of your thread as time goes by and the plants establish themselves more :good: .
 
Hi everyone, thanks for the comments.

The largest tank's quite lightly stocked at the moment:
2 dozen Neons
1 dozen Black Neons
1 dozen White Clouds
1 dozen Shrimps
7 Otocinclus &
4 Zebra Nerite Snails​
The Trigon has
4 Discus
1 Elephant Nose
6 Black Neons
A few Amano shrimps (not sure how many!)​
As for the two smaller tanks, I keep a few Guppies (Males in one tank, females in the other), Corys and Neons.

At the moment I'm still letting the big tank grow in. I'm going to have a pruning session in a week or so. I'll post some pics then.
