Hi guys, I noticed that the planted sections are usually lacking in activity! I'd hope to get to know more of you guys besides Grae and Brett (dude i've yet to reply your mail, getting to it soon!)

So i'd thought i'd start this thread for all the loyal forummers to show off their planted setups! As well as get to know each other better!!

Here's Mine!



List of plants i have in it:

Ambulia
Java Fern Narrow Leaf
Java Fern Broad Leaf
Java Fern Winderlov
Java Moss
Singapore Moss
Barcopa Caroliana
Barcopa Moneira
Rotala Macaranda
Ludwigia Arcuta
Barclaya Longifolia 'Red'
Eusteralis stellata
Water Sprite
Vallis
E. Tenellus akaPygmy Chainsword
Anubias 'Nana'

That should be about it i guess.


Tank Specs:
Size: 2ft x 1 x 1.5
CO2 Injection: Nil
Lighting: 72watts, (2 x 36w PL or energy saving tubes) powered by Elbiru Eballast for 12hrs a day

Share your tanks guys!

Here is a pic of my 4ft tank. Taken last year.



Bit to much reflection from the flouro's to be a good picture, but you get the idea.

Cheers

Gorgeous!
Nice and Lush!
Whats the poor lonesome Balansae doing alone smack in the middle of the tank?

I see your bolboitus is growing nicely, any algae problems with that?

Hi punie,

Those C. balansea sucker all over the tank, particularly around the edge. Still they make a nice contrast with there thin wavy leaves.

This pic is before the plague of thread algea which is currently ignoring my attempts to eradicate it.

Cheers

Nice planter tanks fellas...I decided to break the boring white rock syndrome that presents in most of my plants. I will post a pic of a really simple planter tank I set up a few weeks ago (with green contributuions from Graeme, Jerome and Brett!)
