    60x40x40 Set Up

    Due to sheer boredom, restarting my planted tank after many year's hiatus. Went down to nearby Nature Aquarium as well as Colorful Aquarium.

    tank specs

    60x40x40 (custom)
    Hang On Filter (Will change to an eheim if things do not turn well)
    3 x 24 T5 (no parabolic reflector)

    Fertilizers

    Lush gro Micros 10 drops 2 days
    1/4 teaspoon of KNO3 every 3 days

    Flora and Fauna

    Undecided on livestock. Plants are mainly rotala green and ludwigia sp. will see whether the plants will flourish in the current setup before deciding on the foreground as well.

    Questions:
    Does anyone know where I can get the P, for my plants NPK?
    Which Eheim Classic will be appropriate for my tank size?

    Sorry for yellowish tinge

    Re: 60x40x40 Set Up

    thanks for the comments.

    I think I will let the plants grow a bit (30 days more) before I tear apart everything and bring the two piece of wood closer together and make the rock work slightly tighter. only worries are that the the livestock die and the plants do not make it too.

    thanks again.

    re-did the thing because I felt that the rock-scape earlier was not prominent enough when the stem plants grow out.

    thanks colin for the rotala green.

    hopefully, the crypts grow to a substantial size, like what we see in the magazines, covering the ugly lower regions of the stemmed plants.

    Use Water change and duckweeds, I stop those hair algae fast. I like it with the rocks.
