Another Journal? YUP :big grin:
I had a 12g Eclipse tank that I was using for a quarantine in the kitchen and to be quite frank, it was ugly as heck so I decided to try something different. I decided on an ADA45P and wanted to utilize moss and some other plants I haven't used before.
I've tried my hand at using moss a couple of times but have failed miserably so hopefully this tank will be different. I am not using a heater on this tank, as it stands the temperature maintains around 75 degrees or so.
The goal of this tank was to be lower maintenance with mid to low light with no CO2. Now whether that will last, I doubt it since I love running CO2 and everything else but I wanted to give growing moss a good shot.
The scape is pretty much thrown together so I understand it might not look the best. Wish I had more time but to be honest, I had to throw it together before my GF came back from work and flipped her lid at me for having "ANOTHER TANK?!" and making me return everything haha.
