Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 i ran out of time in the end as went to all the beaches around and found nothing, and john at organism had these bits returned, and really youd be pressed to find bits that cool. as to plants at the moment floating riccia, dwarf sag java fern java moss anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Does john have any big bits left? And how much is the wood from there? Im going to have dwarf sag, a couple swords and stargrass and il try to find some java fern too. It looks good with the water coloured like that.

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 erm not sure what he has atm, changes round a lot but there are a few big ones left, think it was around 30 for the wood which at the end of the day isnt too bad for treated wood that is less likely to rot plus get far cooler bits. photo is a lot brighter than the tank actually looks, gunna get lots more plants after probably getting an additional light unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 What lighting are you using atm? And what is the co2 you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 yea i may have to swap the intake and output around as didnt want to put the natural co2 thing too close to the output so would just disipate straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 erm light is basic 3ft aquaone double bulb, just the ones it came with. and the c02 which im not running yet is just one of those yeast reactor ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Is that light not enough for that size tank? Thats the exact light ive got i think. Is this it? http://www.aquaone.co.uk/lighting_al_t8.php I was planning on using it in my 36"x24"x18" but may have to get another single tube one aswel :-?

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 its prob not quite enough as the tanks quite deep and as want to be well planted im gunna get another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Oh crap lol, Do you think the 3ft aquaone one and a single 2ft would be bright enough? And i was planning on planting heavily too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Id go for more lighting than that if you want to plant hard out. In my 3 footer (which is only 400 high) I will soon be having a 36W, two 24W's and possibly even another 24W if i can fit it without it becoming impractical.
