    Hello dudes and dudets this is a 80L low maintenance tank I set up at my mother's place about two months ago. All plants and wood used from previous setups. Filter aquaclear HOB, 100w eheim heater,lights 24w x 2 odyssey unit and a 2kg CO2 cylinder and saga regulator with small powerhead as defuser. Lights on for 5 hours per day. Still early days but will mature in good time. Thinking of using that clump of moss that has grown from a little strand on the wood here and there. Enjoy :tongue3:

    Nice looking tank you have going there...please explain "low maintenance" No wc's...no dosing...no trimming? Really got my interest...as I always thought presurised systems had a lot of maintenance...

    As Gerhard said...nice angels...just thinking tank might not be high enough for them to grow to their full potential...

    Thanks low maintenance meaning very little trimming. About two months in and no trimming yet. Water changes is two small 15-20% water changes a weak. Dosing twice a weak
