Wackytpt's 3ft low Tech Journal

[Wackytpt]

My customised 3ft tank just came in a week plus ago. It will be a low maintainence tank with mainly South American fishes in it.

3ft Tank with ADA soil



One of the Bogwood with needle leaf java fern



Pardon for the cloudy tank water

[wasabi8888]

[Wackytpt]

Can see now?

[genes]

YESH! Can see now. The picture, not the scape...too milky.

[Wackytpt]

Will try to post a clearer picture soon.

Anything covering the Java fern from the lights? How many watts are you using?

[Wackytpt]

Nothing covering the fern. Currently there is a piece of rock on the top left to weight down the bogwood.

Currently running on 2 x 39W only. With around 4 bps CO2 inject

The tank looks customized, I've yet to see a 3 foot tank with that sort of height if its a "buy-off-the-shelf" tank.

How about dumping 1 young SAE and some yamato shrimps ? These two combination works great for me whenever I had situation like yours.

haa, bro, dun get me wrong. I was only wondering how customized it is, IOS, etc. No malice intended in the first place, yes.

Moving on, how come need to get a customized tank?

[Wackytpt]

maybe you can re-phrase your question or your quote properly next time. Wrongly phrase sentences can caused different meaning.

And beside whats the underlining of words for?

Customisation doesn't mean only for IOS or EOS right. It can also be the Length, width or Height right

As for why I customised my tank, it is because I like something that is in bewteen 1.5ft and 2ft.

[andrewtyr]

Maybe you might have to observe spot algae on the ferns. For my own experience, running CO2 might cause more problems than not in a low-tech tank. of course, unless, you are planting something that requires CO2.
Mainly apisto tank?

He customised the tank's height because his armpits always gets wet when he scapes.
