Hi all,
been long time since i setup a planted tank,
recently got a 14gal tank and decided to do it again.

Tank Size: 48x33x36cm (14gal)
Light: 36w PL ,6500k DIY set
Filter: Eheim Liberty 100 (its capacity is too small, going to change soon)
Substrate: Lapis sand
Base Fertilizer: Tropica AquaCare base fertilzer
Liquid Fertilizer: Tropica AquaCare Plant Nutrition + liquid (5ml weekly)
Co2: Nutrafin Co2 system (changing to Co2 cylinder with solenoid soon)

This is my tank and bogwood used for my scape.

The base fertilizer used for this setup.

Nice tank and wood. Was the tank custom built or something?
That would've been the perfect tank to go under my 29, but the only tank I could find even vague near that size is a regular black-trim 20 tall or 20 long. Bleh.

You've got the coding wrong. It's
