Hi guys So having started my venture into the planted tank world two weeks ago, with the help of my local store I have put together a setup with the following. 180l juwel tank "high Tec" CO2 system I'm still getting clued up with the correct names , so please bare with me and my scarce details. 2x 35w t5 tubes.(1 nature light and the other is a high lite ) I'm using the standard juwel 1000 pump I got with the tank. Aqua tetra air pump Flourite black mixed with flourite black sand Aquavitra range fish wise 9 x Cardinals 7 x Golden pencils 4 x thread fin rainbows Plants HC for my carpet And the others I can't remember the name of right now. I don't own a camera so my cellphone is all I have at the moment.
Re: My new setup Welcome aboard Destriere For a new kid on the APSA block you are hitting the ground running. Good Luck and enjoy PJAL
Re: My new setup Welcome! Nice tank! Get yourself the Juwel reflectors they make a huge difference in the amount of light your plants get and you dont get blinded every time you open the cover.
Re: My new setup Hey JP01 This is a Juwel Tank......... forgive my ignorance, but I would have thought the reflectors came as standard equipment?? PJAL
Re: My new setup I have managed to pick up one reflector but finding another in Durban is a tricky affair.
Re: My new setup Don't get all palsie palsie / condescending with me Pleco Boy - we're having a fight aren't we? I know about the reflectors - I have them all over the place - I just thought that when you purchased a Juwel - you'd be getting ALL their good stuff............ that's all.
Re: Re: My new setup Ask the guys where you bought them from to Order for you all the Juwel products come from Durban through Marltons.
Re: My new setup Just an update on my tank. The fern on the right doesn't fit but I don't have anywhere to put it just yet.
just a quick update. Ran out of CO2 for 3 days without my noticing so the HC took a big knock, but is slowly coming right again.
