chlwong Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I wanted to document my attempt at a dry start tank!Hope you like it, any feedback is always appreciated!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tank: DoAqua! 45-F; 45x24x16cm, 5mmSubstrate: ADA Amazonia Aquasoil Lighting: x1 Fluval Mini Power Compact Fluorescent Light (13W); x1 Clip on lamp w/ 26W (6500k) light bulbs Filter: Eheim 2213 Heater: Fluval 100W heater __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ June 3, 2016 Dry starting monte carlo as a carpet.Got a little patch of staurogyne repens, as well as a little experiment with hygrophilia, ludwigia, alternanthera reneikii, and pogostemon helfri. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ June 22, 2016 I'm not too fond of the look of having that clip on lamp there, but i'm doing this tank on the budget side... Maybe i'll get another light somewhere own the line, but this should work for now! Everything is growing very well! Glad it's turning out well so far. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1ke Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Any updates on this? I'd personally like to hear more about photo period and misting schedule, issues with mold (if any). Is the tank completely sealed off? Wondering because I'm doing a DSM as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
