20" - Beginner Setup

[knight]

Good day to all,
Been thinking of setting up a planted tank since my last encounter with explode co2 tube.

Due to the incident had all the while drop the idea of aquatic planting untill recently understood that it is possible with 'low tech tank'.

All comment are greatly appreciated. By the way was thinking of setting the up the tank solely for Fissiden only, no rooted plants.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

The project started since 25 Dec 2009. Sure took me 3 weeks to have all the Fissiden tie on both the Bog Wood & Drift Wood.

Moment ago, found that the plants starting to grow. Finally result of success.
