    My first Igwami inspired tank

    Hi all,

    My mother in law was telling me that her little 2 footer at preschool was looking a little plain (i.e cr@p) and asked if I could do something about it.

    Tank: 2' long 18" high 12" wide (80L)
    Lighting: DIY LED 12x 3w 6500k epistar chip with 30 degree optics (32W)
    CO2: 5kg fire extinguisher, tunze reg, Spiro diffuser, dupla CO2 line.
    Substrate: UP AquaSoil + red sea floraRoot with bacterial starter
    Filter: Marina slim 20
    Heater jager 100w
    Hardscape: granite from Auburn aquarium with some nice quartz veins
    Wood: Grapevine trimmed to suit
    Plants: Hemianthus callitrichoides(HC), lilliopsis, peacock moss, Subwassertang, Hyderophilla balsamica, Echinodorus tenellus (pigmy chain sword narrow leaf), amazon frogbit

    throughout this build i wanted to see the effect of water on PAR so at the end you'll see the screenshots from my seneye PAR meter, great info for nerds like me but no to great for others

    Appologies for the ifail(phone) pics will try and remember to charge the fuji next time i update, ip popular opinion warrents it i can try a clean up in photoshop to fish the over exposure from the LED's
