10l Planted Journal

Really....wow. I'd just never even have considered it.

Edit: Ps. where are these pictures we were promised?

gimme a sec i will take them now

still hasny totally cleared but looks better

 

[tom_os]

ok you might have to wait a bit longer because i kinda stirred it up when taking the filter out!

 

[tom_os]

this is the best i can get for the moment. the problem is it clears so i can see the design. then i move it to what i like then it clouds, then i have to wait 2 hours for it to clear so i can see the new design.

here it is for the moment. there is a small grassy plant that i have had for months and it has slowly dying in my other tank so i put it in this one for some plant rehab.

the gravel needs sloping more toward the back. in another 10 mins should be a bit clearer. if i take away the filter the water clouds again so i left it in

I get ya now. Mulm seeds the tank. It gives an instant source for the bacteria (in the substrate too) to fed on and therefore avoids cycling.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem

I only use my 10Ltr as a fry tank. I wouldn't put adult fish in it.

any new pics of it all cleared up?? looks good bi the way

 

[tom_os]

new pics coming soon. filter and light came. i got my 240l tank so i have been stetting that up all evening

 

[tom_os]

ok heres a new pic. it all needs moving around but at least it is clear now. the filter and light came and they look really good.

Thats rock looks quite nice. I think you may struggle to get the 'look' though as they are all pretty similar in size.#

You may have to go for something original

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

they are similar sized but i can push them into the substrate more to make them look smaller

hes a pic, havnt changed anything, just taen out the internal filter and with the new light

 

[Curiosity101]

Oo, looks great. And so much bigger than I expect a 10l to look. Hmm...
Anyhoo, what plants are you getting? And when are you getting them?

 

[tom_os]

dwarf hairgrass and hc cuba i think. probably get them this week

 

[tom_os]

aqua essentials have sold out of dwarf hairgrass

any alternatives?

 

[tom_os]

started dosing the co2 and fertz for the little plant.

im doing 1ml of aqua essentials co2 and 1ml tpn+ every day

is this ok?

i think i will reduce it to ever 2 or 3 days because there is only 1 plant in there.
