Hey everybody. So in this thread I'll be keeping a record of the progress of my newest 60G Cube tank. The tank size is 24 x 24 x 24 inches or 61 x 61 x 61 cm.
It has a fluval 406 hooked up, and I think I need to make a spray bar to get the same flow but lower current on the stage left side of the tank. I have two marineland advanced LED strips for the lighting.
Here is the empty tank:
Here is with the substrate added:
Here it is with the stone:
Then finally planted:
I have baby tears and pygmy chain swords as the foreground, moneywort, java ferns, some AR and a mystery leafy bush plant as the midground, then wisteria and jungle val in the background. The stone I chose to use was seiryu stone. The substrate for the plants is Fluval shrimp & plant, and then pool filter sand is used underneath the high area of that along with some bricks for height, and more PFS in the middle area and inside the cave.
Also some of you might be interested to know this is my first aquascaped tank where we actually planned it out, and put effort into it. In my 55G we just kinda picked live plants out randomly and placed them in the sand.
This week I should be good to add the first fish, I am pretty set on starting with some Peacock Gudeons but we will see what happens.
