"Painted Dream" Journal

31/5/2007 - I started this acquarium.
Equipment : 60cm x 30cm x30 cm tank
Aluminium CO2 tank with solenoid valve
PLL 36w and PLL 18w
Hang-On-Filter
Thermometer
DIY : fan
Substrate : ADA Amazonia (1st timer for ADA stuff)
Hardscape : Driftwood.
Flora : Hygrophila difformis (wisteria), Microsorium pteropus windelov, Alternathra ........., Rotala rotundifolia, Sagittaria subulata, Glossostima elantinoides, Hygrophila ........, Anubia barteri var. nana, Java moss, Riccia & one marginal plant.
Fauna : Black widow, Molly, Otocinclus affinis & Siamese algae eater.


The wisteria and windelov growed bushy. Hygrophila growed all over the place. Java moss gathered debris. Driftwood somehow unnatural. White stone (for the path) were scattered unsightly.

31/12/2007- Rescape with the following differences :-
Equipment : 2 FL 36w
Eheim 2213
Automatic food feeder
Hardscape : Reused 1 DW and purchased 2 more DW
Used gf's tank river stone, remove white stones
Flora : Tonina fluvitalis, Elecharis vivipara & Echinodoron tenellus
Fauna : Trigonostigma hertemorpha & hengeli


31/1/2008 - Equipment : Readded old PLL 36w
Fauna : Chocolate gourami 5 pieces


31/3/2008 - I had shifted this tank to my gf's place hence you can see that the plants had been trimmed and the DWs were taken out.
Additional : Flora : Crytocoryne lutea

30/4/2008 - Currently chocolate gourami left one only. Expectation to acquire further chocolate gourami that's why reconditioned the water using catappa leaf. I like the look of stone in this photos.


1/5/2008 - Algae attacked. Solution : Purchased Seachem Excel and overdose 2 caps. Up CO2. Added 2 Platies & 1 SAE and hope for the best.


28/5/2008 - This is the photos combo that I had taken for submission to IALPC. I took out the platies. Do some trimming. By this time algae is all gone. The one photo I had submitted is not here. Wondering if I published this will it goes against the regulations set in IALPC


I guess my photograph's quality was not there. My fish don't want to school. Background don't look white, instead it was grey! All the best to all participants in IALPC.

IAPLC's result for this tank 595
