Hi,
Here is my current tank setup. apology for the poor picture quality (taken in mobile phone). i still have a long way to go.
spec:
size = 5'x2'x2'
light : 6x 56 watt T5 HO (timer based 6 Hour a day)
Co2: 2-3 bps Pressurised defused by ceramic defuser (timer based 6 Hour a day)
Dosing: EI
Maintenance: Very Low, honestly speaking I spent <1 hour in a week on Sunday just for water change(due to my busy schedule)
Feel free to comment |

Hi ,
Your Tank looks good. But there are some aspects where you need to improve among one is water quality.
Please go for a detailed reading about how to manage planted aquarium
The wonderful thing is that you have maintained such a good tank even with your busy schedule from this i can understand that you are a True Hobbyist, so just fine tune your skills and you will enjoy the fruit of it.
Thanks and best of Luck |
