Starting a mammoth of a planted tank job with our 4 foot by 4 foot by 1 foot deep aquarium. This thing has Perspex dividers, separating the tank into 4 2x2 living quarters, each with its own sponge filter in the corner as well as 2 main canister filters. Lighting consists of 3 plantGLO led bars and fertiliser will be added on a weekly basis (we use ADA products and Seachem Flourish)
Substrate used is ADA soil, driftwood pieces generously gifted to us by a wonderful friend, plants currently in right now include; Anubias Nana, Anubias Nana Petite, Anubias Pinto and Anubias Parva. Going to add my Tri-Colour Lotus, Purple Waffle and other nice plants in tomorrow and update photos!
Fish were a bit spooked after all the renovations to their homes, but the ones residing in the Left zone are my Angels (approximately 7) and my Blue Turquoise Discus. Definitely want to get more Discus and put them in their own section away from the temperamental Angels. And in the Right hand side lives my 6 Clown Loaches (4 new rescues), a few Bristlenoses and a school of amazing Congo Tetras. These little guys are so funny to watch and the colours are spectacular when comparing them to the ones in shop. Must be very happy and healthy in our setup!!
I’ll be adding more photos of this tank as we continue to work on it and add various plant life and fish! I’d love to start keeping and propagating Buce assortments, they look spectacular and I love rhyzomatic growing aquatic plants.
Let me know what plants you think would look good in this big tank?!?
Feel free to share pics of your planted tanks down below...
