Hi friends...
After Puja..I still have some bucks left in my pocket.So now want to jump into a remodelling of my old 2 feeter.
Tank specs;
Sub: Laterite topped with 2.5 inch small gravel(2-4 mm)
Light: 2 local LED (7 watt and 9 watt) caps removed
co2: diy sugar yeast type
filter: top filter with capacity of 800 lts/hr.can't change this right now.but after 3 monts I will purchase a HOB.
fert: never used.but thinking about using readymade one
Flora:H.Polysparma,crypts,aponogeton,Xmas moss( not so green but still alive),dwarf lily,E.tenellus( not propagating),rotala(not in good shape)
tried cobomba.it was good at beginning but suddenly melted
fauna: 4 sarpae tetra,2 ramirezi,1 chinese algae eater
At this time I really need ur guidence to set up a tank from beginning.as winter is on its way I am really excited to start this project asap.
first of all, substrate.
I am planning about using vermicompost at the base layer.may I mix it with garden soil or pure ganga mati(fresh soil from the bank of river Ganges).what should be the ratio and depth?
Then may I cover it with regular construction sand to prevent leakage?and as the topmost layer I want to use gravel.is that OK?? plz explain in details.I herd about curing vermi.what's that?
I really want to make a perfect diy substrate which must be easy to maintain in the long run.
any other combos??
next I wanna try out some red plants but they must be easy.also want suggestions about lush green and dense mid and foreground plants.e.g.H.difformis.
please suggest according to my tank specs.
are the lights good enough.I recently installed them.I think my plants love them.
provide me info about cheap ready made ferts.and their price at gallif and kole market.
what should be the scape? I like jungle like growth.I have a few rocks and a small piece of bogwood.so what's ur idea about it.
Thanking u in anticipation..plz help.
