hey everyone,
this is my 45 cm ADA project that started last Fall and i finally had the time to finish it off today! i had bought wood from home depot and custom made my own stand to fit a 45 cm ADA tank (MINI L). I work at aquaforest so i had gotten alot of eqipment from them. i am testing out their archaea lights with the 36 watt ADA NA power compact, its a nifty fixture with german style reflectors. For the CO2 i had found a used leland tap regulator for beer, and just mimicked the ada advanced CO2 system. i am using a Hydor canister filter, and Hydor inline heater. if you have visited aquaforest, this setup is pretty much the same as their ADA Mini M setup.
For plants, i have HC foreground, rotala green midground (right and left), rotala najenshan background (right and left), and rotala singapore red background (center). This rock is called shoko? i will find out again i forgot.

Soon i will be re-doing my 50 gallon to a crypt tank! maybe in a couple days.

This is the beginning!

here is the planting!

i hope you enjoyed! we'll see how this tank goes...it might grow alot of algae....
