Tank update!
I rescaped the wood structures, removed Staurogyne as it was ruined by the otocinclus constantly laying eggs on it. They are still spawning in there.
Cryptocorynes have settle well. Filter had to be modified to prevent otocinclus fry from getting sucked in.

#361137 May Pcs Meeting - Auction Night.
Posted by Bostave on 16 April 2017 - 06:28 PM
Hi all, it would be great if the members who are selling at the auction, send the photos of their lot(s) to me (Bostave) via pm please. Often the photos from the internet searches don't do justice to the lots and will help the potential buyers in assessing the lot twice (once on the auction slide and once during the allotted lot inspection time). If you aren't able to send me the photos that is fine too. I will do my best to find photos that match your auction lots. Thank you.

The tank has been sitting empty since the aquascaping competition and I have been thinking of redoing the fish room one tank at a time. Also I have been thinking of different aquascapes and creating a few of those. So this is the start.
Tank: ADA Cube Garden Mini - 36x22x26cm / 4mm optiwhite glass
Hardscape: rocks, driftwood
Co2: injected CO2 (3 bps)
Lighting: ADA Aquasky 361
Filtration: Eheim aquacompact 40
Heating: Eheim Jager 25 watts
Substrate: ADA power sand, Amazonia powder
Ferts per day: Initially ADA brightly green and shady green and then DIY
Critters: unsure at the moment
plants to include - Cryptocoryne varieties, Blyxa japonica, Staurogyne sp Porto Velho, Staurogyne repens, Ludwigia arcuata
and tbd. Plants are sources from my collection. The smaller varieties will go in this aquascape and another 90x45x45. The taller ones in 90x60x60. The ada amazonia was soaked in bucket for month with regular water changes. Yesterday no ammonia or nitrite was detected so I commenced this project. The filter was bought from Vebas yesterday and the driftwood pieces from Morley Aquarium this morning.
