3 feet

Hi all

After months of experimenting, here's my first post.

Tank is 3ft

Any comments?

quite nice setup there...just wait for the plants to mature la...sure would be better...
maybe can take a bigger pic? cos cant really see...

Looks like a nice setup, but the picture doesn't do it justice. Host your picture on the AQ Photo Gallery or on websites like Photobucket. Perhaps taking another picture from a straight-on angle instead of looking upwards towards the tank now would be better.

Hi all

Just upload a pic in the gallery



It's 2 weeks old, cycled with old tank water.

Front is quartz gravel from NA. Substrate is ADA amazonia.

Some specs

Size: 3 X 1.5 X 1.5
Water Temp 25 - 27
Base Fert - JBL & peat
No CO2 dose with seachem excel
Other water parameters - not measured

I think your tank look fantastic, I particularly like the light sand. It looks quite natural IMO.

Are you a JoyDivision Fan?

btw, what's the pH?

thanks....cos i see you using peat and amazonia soil...

Now from this view, the substrate looks too thick and obstructing. Sloping the substrate down to the front will be better, and having stones covered with moss placed along the areas where the white sand meets plants/Aquasoil to serve as a more "natural" division might be better.

What's in the right part of the tank? I seem to see plants yet it looks empty..

Did not measure the ph but I have a similar set up at home, a two feet, the ph is between 5.7 - 6.0.

Not sure what to do with the right side yet, perhaps hair grass or tenullus.


The substrate looks high becos there is actually a divider, trying to cover it up. Any suggestions on how to hide it?

Lastly, hoping to put two pairs of Apisto in once the water is ready.
