The Puntius Effect

Hi my fellow green fingers.

So here is my 580 Liter planted tank.

Started this tank last year October with about 13 Tiger barbs and now I have 70

I dig them plenty they are very active and they are just awesome dudes

I had all the plain old plastic plants in at first and I went planted in March and WOW what a difference it made to the behavior of my barbs they all went more natural they love their planted tank.

Been on TASA since last year July and up until now I had over 45000 views

And to be honest they dig their plants so much that none of the plants gets eaten, they are always very excited when I plant something new.

Got my pressurized CO2 system on the 17 July 2013 CO2 is pure AWESOMENESS!!!

I am doing EI and my light are on from 14h30-21:45

Using 4 x 80w and 2 x 54w T5 tubes all with Alanod Reflectors.

Enjoy!!!

All I can say is serious case of COLLECTORITUS

 

Finally the puntius is here after months of green growth and much caring well done my friend its indeed a honour to see it here

 

Some of my plants

 

photos don't do this tank justice

 

Oh yeah for sure you have to see it in real life to really appreciate the Puntius Effect

 

How do you mean choas?

 

Ohw yes the concept is very unique. Some good planning and trimmings done to get it this way

 

awesomeness

Do I see a anubias plant from me in the tank?

 

Oh yeah on the left side on top of the mopani wood

 

Thanks a mil my friend, yeah it took hard work to get it like this

 

Absolutely incredible

 

Copycat!

 

Copycat hahahah

 

Unique! I have trademarked chaos gardening and jungle fever

 

yeah dude tank really just started growing this woes after adding Pressurized CO2 in July I am digging the look plenty.

Just became a Jungle Fever Franchise

 

I expect franchise installments

Do yourself a favour and get your favourite pic from every month from the very beginning until now. It's amazing to create a journal that shows the transformation of your tank. I did that on UKAPS and it's really cool to look where you came from to where you are now (when you added extra lights or CO2 (DIY/pressurised), changed to different ferts) etc

 

Haha we can trade plants for payment

I actually thought of that will get all the photos sorted in one folder since the beginning of my planted tank adventure.

Lets both do it then on our APSA threads

 

Can't wait to see the pictures that I haven't seen yet
