Planted two plants. I'm impressed with the amount of light the tank is getting mid afternoon. These photos are taken with just natural light
Here I go again 150 gallon reset.

I have done a flow rate test on the under-gravel filter. It is moving around thirty liters per hour, meaning that the whole tank will be moved every day. Very happy with that.

This is what the tank looks like at the moment. Post #59 has a list of plants I have bought which are coming. I am slowly filling the tank to make sure it settles on the stand properly, and so the wood doesn't float around to much.

I love the fact you are using materials around you. Looking forward to seeing the tank with all the plants in place. With that much light you could get some nice growth!

Ok, so I couldn't wait, I'm a bad boy and told myself I wouldn't do this. But the tank is now full and the last remaining carnivorous plants and orchard are in place. Now I just need those plants to arrive and then FISH. Rubbish picture but you will just have to wait to see the real thing.

Just thought this is a neat photo from my computer where I am writing this
Coming along nicely.
February's Tank of the Month will feature tanks sized at 31 gallons and larger. Your tank should be well established by then. Hope you enter it in the contest.

I will enter it, but it will still be very much a work in progress. About two years to get it to where I want it.
