The Valliserna Jungle

[Gill]

So heres the bare unscaped tank as it stands
Plants arriving this week (bought) as no-one offered any

I thought i would try the Resin Wood as it was only 5Quid each.

Will be Heavily planted with Vallis and Different Types Of Lillies, Started work on the new lighting. Just waiting for the starter units to arrive. Square Guttering is really effective to make luminaires out of. Hope to add another 3 tubes to the current lighting.

Just out of curiosity, is your lily pipe meant to be in the tank like that, surely it should be the other way up? I suppose it doesnt make any difference but I thought the main reason behind then was to have as little equipment showing in the tank as possible. You might also want get rind of the bubble curtain as it will certainly drive off any addition co2 you have in the tank. I would also remove the background and let it dry out then replace it again as from my experience the water will never evaporate from behind it while it is still in situ.

I have to have the Lily Pipe like that due to the awkward way in which the bak of the tank is. theres only a tiny Traingle in which to get anything thru so have to have the Lilly pipe far down into the tank.

The Curtain will go once i get the Co2 set up again.
The background tends to dry out well, as theres a heater nearby.
