Right now sitting there waiting for me to get started. Me? waiting for the final delivery of bits and pieces.

30x18x12 tank

JBL e900 external with Eheim ehfi substrate pro and maybe peat plus the usual ceramic rings and foam.

Hydro external heater

Maybe Vecton2 UV

Arcadia Luminaire unit

Decoration - redmoor wood plus rocks

Substrate gravel with laterite underneath plus a separated area of sand for Corys.

Fish, (what I want and what I can have 2 different things! Want Discus, but no space or money right now). Porbably mollies and/or platys, pair of dwar gourami, cardinal tetras and Corys.

Planting - still deciding on that, but going probably for greenmachine plants. Want a set up like the natural tank one in PFK September.

Plant nutrition - Easylife Profito plus maybe easy carb as I don't want to go the route of CO2.

WIll post photos as I start work. Already built a gravel/sand divider from a strip of black plastic - covered it with gravel both sides and edge so it will not be seen once in place, (used silicone sealant to attach the gravel - to me too!).

Hi and welcome to fishcrazy wave

I have a couple of suggestions? I would give the livebearers a miss if you are going to add peat most livebearers prefer hard water Big Smile

But the dwarf gouramis,cardinals and corys should all be fine together Big Smile

Look forward to seeing the photo's {espcially of the divider Big Smile }
