Hello!
This is my 600-litre tank (180cm wide) as of today, replanted it over a month a ago. Before it it was just bogwoods and one (yes, one!) red-green sword created and given by Mr Falck. As a enthusianist gardener I was missing green colour (its all grey and black out now here, you see...) and did replanting. Now all other plants are from South/Mid America but cryptos. I have a plan to change even them into S American species thou Im not sticked about the geo/biotope idea. I just received some swords (E "argentiniensis"(=false latin name, well see what I actually got?!) and E grandifolius) from Germany hoping they will grow as emersed.
There are some plants hanging above the water level like Nepenthes and orchids, here N.
There lives 40+ cories, 5 young Angels (a spawning pair), 6 young spawning Geophagus Tapajos Orange Heads (I love earteaters!) and 20 Blackneons, a flash pleco and a L-333. Filtration: two inner filter (JBL 800l/h and AquaBee 1000l/h), and lots of plants growing hydro. Daily EasyCarbo started along replanting, some fertz by some-kind-of-Duckweed-Index (I hate all kind of testing except EC). EC is now 400uS (at highest 800uS when bows earlier), hopefully will come down as top offs with just RO/rainwater. LED lighning.
This is how it was before replanting (last June I guess)
And before that ...Earlier I had bows as stated above. Lovely fish too!
I will add later pics about sons 300l community tank with some Bolivian rams. They are really cool small fish, arent they! Thanks and...
Cheers, Maria
