Heres my neglected planted tank. Its 80ltrs, no name single rail led light of little watts lol. Plenty of great looking wood in there. Not adding any nutrients. But does have ada soil haha. Have full Co2 ready to go on it. But not running yet. No live stock but will probably go apistos. Any advice? Attachments:

Nothing a scrub down wouldn’t fix! Heaps of room at the front for foreground plants like Riccia.
If you started a fertilizer schedule and added some more plants it would go well. Appistos would look great!

I do have seachem liquid ferts here.
I think i should go through all my lights and russel up some more lighting for it.
But definitely need more plants.
Work in progress i guess

Sweet, that would be great.
This tank was booming once. But had 10x the lighting on it back then.
Ive still got a lot of it somewhere. Ill have to re-retro fit it all again.
Get my Co2 bottle full and go from there.

I think i have some small pieces of nana already in there.
I havent tied them to the wood yet.
They are just in the soil. So they might not be growing so well lol
But yours are so healthy and growing well.
Any fertilizers you using?

💦🌿 We use the full set of Aqua Design Amano fertilisers from up at Aquarium Gallery Perth in Wangara. I think there’s a new range now, so when we finish these we will update and upgrade!! I’m also a fan of Seachem Flourish as a staple trace element mix 💚  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
