| About Yourself: |
I am 23 with a daughter whos almost two. I have always loved aquariums and fish and ahve kept many species but only recently started plaanted tanks. For so long i was put out with the idea of spending so much to grow plants but now i know you dont need to. And with a little time,trial and error and basically no income, i have a great tank!I am working on a planted 29 gallon now. |
| Advice: |
You will sometimes find conflicting advice on keeping planted tanks(particularly lighting) but i have found that trial and error works well and you dont have to spend a lot to have lush plants. eg. my shop light! |
| Fish Kept: |
6 white cloud mt. minnows,1 rhinohorn goby, 3-4 pond minnows including sticklebacks a baby creek chub and a white sucker fry that will be moved to a larger tank as they grow.various snails,ghost shrimp, and 2 ottocinclus. |
| Plants Kept: |
Hygrofila difformis, red lotus,native hair grass, mystery native dwarf sword type plants,crypt undulatta,cardinal plant, native large leaf pondweed. native Riccia fluitans, native ludwigia repens.lemna minor, small bits of chara or native muskgrass. |
| Tank Size: |
20 |
| Description: |
20 gallon planted tank. My first planted tank. Having a limited income, many of the plants are native to michigan where i live. It has a 4 ft shop light over it and a ten gallon beside it.The light has two 32 watt white bulbs.(6500k) I dose with flourish excell evey other day. The substrate is a mix with iron made at a local mom and pop fish shop.No heating.(my home stays pretty warm) A cheap wal mart hang on filter for circulation and biological management though the plants do most of the filtering. |

This is version 2 of my original planted tank, designed rather than evolved by accident. It's been running for 8 weeks now, the stem plant growth is out of control. I've used pool filter sand at the front, the cories seem to like it, red jasper rocks keep it seperate from the eco at the back. |
| Quote: |
If at first you don't succeed, read some more and ask more questions. |
| About Yourself: |
One tank is never enough. |
| Advice: |
Go easy on the lighting in your set up unless you want an algae tank. When you feel the need for 'just one more fish', be strong and say no. Get to know the people at your local fish shops and spend your dollar there, not Walmart etc. |
| Fish Kept: |
Pair of blue rams, 8 x rummynose tetras, 5 x emperor tetras, 6 corydoras trilineatus. |
| Plants Kept: |
Various crypts, hygrophilia, blyxa japonica, java fern, anubias, various aponogetons, red tiger lotus, giant and thin valisneria. |
| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
My tank is 24 x 15 x 18 ins, Eheim internal filter, 3 x 18w flouros 8.5 hrs per day, eco-complete substrate, Nutrafin Co2 system. Fertilised according to the seachem regime (on their website).

My 40 gallon planted freshwater aquarium. I only discovered Takashi Amano after I started. Next time I'll try something in his style. Not a bad first effort though :-) |

| About Yourself: |
A New Zealander, I'm an educational technology facilitator at a large international school in Hong Kong. Apartment living only allows small planted environments and few pets. My aquarium is my piece of nature! |
| Advice: |
I'm only new to this game (4 months). Thought I would never get through the new-tank phase (algae and all) but as you can see perseverance pays off. Patience and attention to detail certainly helps. |
