Admins move if needed
With this build I went back to my roots, planted freahwater. I have been keeping fish for about 15 years now and like most started with freshwater. Even though I absolutely love the abundance of life and chalenges associated with reef keeping there is something about the peaceful nature of a densely planted tank that I can't get away from. As far as my tank collection is concerned I have a 20l sumped reef with softies and lps, a 10g fowlr in my daughter's room (she loves her nemo) a 12×12×18 exoterra with a crested gecko and a 10g bromeliad terrarium as a grow out for my next vivarium build and now my 29g. Does anyone else here keep freshwater as well as their reef tanks? If so let's see em.

The build goes a little like this

Standard aga 29g tank
Walmart stand
Coralife 2×24w t5ho fixture with 6500k bulbs
2 ac30 hob filters
Aqueon 100w heater
Substrate: 40lbs caribsea eco complete
Various pieces of mopani and Malaysian drift wood

Flora:
Anubius Nana
Anubius Nana narrow leaf
Anubius Nana petite
Anubius coffefolia
Anubius Frazeri ×2
Crypt spiralis ×2
Crypt wendti ×2
Crypt parva ×2
Monti Carlo ×2
Dwarf Lilly

Fauna:
Currently, 5 harlequin rasbora and 1 crown tail beta
Future, more rasbora a handful of Cory catfish and 2 or 3 peacock gobies
