Default Office Aquascape

Always fascinated and Inspired by Jade Ice Green's work so I decided to take down my two small tanks and start with a brand new 2 feet tank.

Tank: Opticube 60M: 60x30x36 cm
Substrate : ADA new Amazonia
Light: Aquazonic 4x24W, 8hrs aday
Filter : Eheim 2213
CO2 : 2 bubbles in 3 sec
Temperature : 23C ( Office aircon 24/7
Fertilizer : Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and potassium every week after water change

Flora: HC, fissidens, Marimo moss balls growing on rocks from prev setup ,eriocaulon phillipine, nana petite
Fauna: otos and fire red shrimps


Started off with emersed HC and a plastic bag over the tank to keep the plants moist for abt a week.
Quite happy after submerging everything with pearling HCs.


Many thanks to Rick of NKS for the help and advice.

Bro, mind posting a FTS from the front? Looks like nice growth on your flora. Air-con 24/7?

Apologies for the water stains on tank glass, was just trying to remove some algae from the CO2 diffuser piping.

Yup aircon is 24/7.

1 way to prevent algae grow on the diffuser is to just put gravels on it. i did it on my and i left it there for months and no worries to algae growth chocking the diffuser

Maybe can add in some crypts like Wendtii at the back to add in some height to the scape. Also provides for a nice color contrast, especially if your use the brownish variants.
