Fluval EBI

[Jhayter]

Hey guys

I started this EBI back in December inspired by all the great planted tanks I have seen. I have also been following the guide lines of an aquarium start up app (tropica) which is great help as I am fairly new to the hobby.

Specs:
Stock filter with a bag of purigen.
Light is stock as well, on for 8 hours a day.
Fluval stratum for substrate.
Weekly 25% to 30% water changes.
No co2.
No fertilizers.

Live stock:
4 cardinal tetras
2 RCS
2 Amano shrimp
1 oto

As for plants I am unsure of the names of the plants I got as some where given to me and some where blindly bought.

I am now on day 40 or so and I am very much looking forward to see how the tank matures as well as possibly starting up a new tank with more room to play with. I have attached the most recent picture.

Any constructive and positive feed back welcomed.

Thank you,

I like it! I'm a big fan of the nano planted tanks, and fluval makes nice seamless 7.9g tanks. Are you using the stock light? And, what kind of substrate and ferts are you using?

[Jhayter]

They are very nice. At the moment I'm running the stock light yes. As for substrate I have a small bag of fluval stratum in there. It made it a little difficult to plant at first but I got the hang of it. I am also not dosing any fertilizers or co2.

I did my first trimming yesterday. Thought I would post an update picture and then again later of the regrowth!
