    Hi
    I'm preparing a 2ft tank for keeping CRS, feel free to comment on my aqua scaping.... Using a Hydor prime 20, and hailea 130a as a chiller.. is the size of the output pipe from the hailea 130a chiller the same as an ADA lily pipe?
    as I have to set down the size of the pipe from filter to chiller and then set up again from chiller to the output to the tank... please advise...

    Hi,
    those 4 stalks of plants at the back of your tank does not look like aquatic plants and overtime, they might rot and foul up your water parameters.


    Cheers!

    They are sold commonly over here in the UK as aquatic plants. If this is true or false i have no idea. I bought some and had them in my tank for about 1 month with absolutely no growth, not even root growth. The top few leaves started to yellow and hoels began to appear.

    My suspicion is they are not aquatic plants as someone on here told me when i planted them in my tank. Just keep an eye one them fishpoo.

    As a note you tank seems very sparesely planted. Perhaps plant more foreground?

    The roots play the most important part in the growth.
