so ill use this post to show updates of my tank as it progresses and matures.
its going to be low tech i dont see me adding co2 and id be surprised if i add ferts but we will see how it goes for now.
tank 4x2x2 has 210w lighting.
plants so far
java fern , narrow leaf, tiger lotus, congo fern , java moss ,amazon sword, hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, dwarf sag.
The dwarf sag is in the bottom left and needs a bit of time to grow in before it can even be noticed, the hydroctyle is planted all around the the edges of the drift wood and i hope when it grow in will look good.
All java ferns and congo fern is on the wood.
Im leaving a large sandy area at the right front of the tank where a loan tiger lotus is , id like this to reach the surface, i may have to move it further to the back when it gets bigger.
Still need some val for the back left ,some anubias for the bottom parts of the wood will also look good i think and maybe some random crypts between the hydrocotyle, well that's the plan so far.
Fish
Just 10 harlequins at the moment , will add 10 more and some otos , and maybe some dwarf cichlids.
I think less is more, looks good with just a few small fish.
Anyway heres the only picture so far ill try get decent ones soon , this gives you the idea of the layout , trying to go for a natural look. to be honest looks better in person ill have to get some better pictures when i update thanks for looking
