yeah it is... just ferns and mosses, thought there is baser fert but there is no planting... that for "just in case" i wanna do any planting...

height of water has been reduced to 13 inch, from gravel to surface of water, reason because i dun wanna over work my chiller, and i like the jutting of the bogwood out of the water surface...

Woahhhhhh thats fantastic java fern growth you got there...amazed..

**Zenislev** · 2nd Jul 2008, 21:26

Wow...i like your tank bro. Just look at the effect of those ferns!

**torque6** · 2nd Jul 2008, 21:53

Definitely an investment. Those ferns which you have cultivated is worth alot since they sell for $12 for about 6-8 stocks. Well done

Hi,

Your lighting is 70W mh, appreciate you could let me know where you got them and the stand. PM me the cost if possible, I'm looking into change my light without increase the wattage.

Thanks.

The choice of plants are great for that lighting. Anything more will require higher output.

What i don't understand is why did you order a 5x2x2 & only fill 3/4 of the tank's total volume? I'm sure you have your reasons.

Cheers!

**bossteck** · 17th Jul 2008, 14:51

Bengy,

I would also like to get the contact for the light stand please.

Cheers

That's the look he was going for?
