Rated #311: Planted Tank - Volume: 65x32x34 cm, 70 litres (15 galons)
Lighting and photoperiod: 3x 20W (1000lm, 4000K), 11h for day
Description of CO2 System: DIY project (CO2 reactor, JBL CO2 Vario - diffuser)

The tank was set up in October 2003. The subtratum is gravel without any fertilizer. Plants were bought alomost in the same time. Aquascape is my own idea. I havent got any serious problems with algae (only incidentally). I add my own-made firtelizer and also N, P and K. Most part of plants is green (except Limnophila aromatica). Fishes and plants create natural contrast.
