Aaron's 216l Planted Journal!

[tom_os]

you say you got the tank from clearseal?

did you have it made? i am looking for a tank this size

 

[aaronnorth]

It is a standard size. Here is a list of the sizes:
http/www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalo..._Aquariums.html

It would of come to £100+ with P+P, but Maidenhead can do a price match so they are ordering me one and i only pay £60

They do custom made tanks *i think* but if you do need a custom made tank then i would reccomend aquariums ltd.

i think i am going to go with 2 ADA Malaya. the price for one bag & postage comes to £43 (TGM) then adding 2 x 5L JBL's is another £30 so it still comes to £70 :rolleys:

2 bags of ADA is £68 because i get free postage.

[aaronnorth]

angelfish
botia striata
pitbul plecs
large tetra or rasbora specie (4"+)

plants

microsorum
mosses
crypts

I'm looking foward to seeing it as well.
Not sure what type of moss you want but my female angelfish developed a taste for my christmas moss. I find new pieces floating all over and stuck in the filter ever day.

about 3wks i think.

my scales for weighing the powders

powders, i also got a free, large pippette which would be useful for spot dosing if need be.

substrate

and a pump for doing water changes which fits my hosepipe nicely

 

[AdAndrews]

looks good, is it the tpn+ recipe that you gave me your making?

i dunno wether to do it, i will see how my tank goes first to see if i am any good at keeping plants

good luck

Cool pics.
It's good stuff from Fluidsensor isn't it I bought the KNO3 powder and measuring spoons. I think my family thought I was weird for getting excited.
