3ft tank (Still waiting to name it)

[Phillipians]

Managed to do a new 3ft tank over the past few days. Thank my wife for taking the photos as she catches me in action. Not a fantastic scape but I love the DW that I got from Aquatic Avenue. Very very nice.

Materials before the actual scape started

Tank: 90cm x 50cm x 50cm custom (Bought from Aquatic Avenue (AA) – Very well made)
Cabinet – Had miscomm with AA and they did a silver cabinet. They managed however to spray paint it into grey. Not the best but passable. The original silver one was very well made. Too bad doesn’t fit my house.
Light – Zetlight 6400 200W
CO2 – Pressurised with Intense diffuser
Chiller – Finally got a chiller. Invested in a Teco TK500. Very very nice
Filter- Eheim 2217 (2yrs old and still working damn well)
Inlet Outlet – Borneo Wild SS inlet outlet.
Substrate – La Plata and ADA Amazonia (New)

Crypt. Pygamae

A lone downoi. Cute and small

Bolbitis Heteroclita and Philippine Fern. Messy now, but after it grows out, a trim will do wonders

Pogostemon erectus will be awesome of you can get some Blyxia japonica to cover the back portion.

I had P.erectus a while back... They were huge. Need to try something else for the fun of it.
