My 300 litre aquarium ( 1st day using co2 setup)

As already stated i upgraded my tank with a co2 system to help my live plants trive more in my tank.

Update from last vid is i added 2 albino cories making them 3 and 2 julii cories, changed the whole setting of plants ( plus trimming those swords ) and decorations ( tried some aqua scaping ) and added 3 new plants :

Echinodorus el diablo
Hygrophila corymbosa XL
Cryptocoryne walkeri

as for Co2 setup, the pet shop owner told me to start with 4 bubbles a second and then ajust daily, so wish me luck any tips are really welcome.

Now for the tanks:

Jebo New R3126,

dimensions : 4ft, x 50cm x 58cm 300 litre ( 66 uk gal )

Filtration: Trickle filter conected to a powerhead 1500litres/hour
Support canister filtration Eheim classic 2213 which helps filtration up to 116 gallons/hour
2 filtration systems is to help do all the mechanical chemical etc.

Lighting :
3 jebo super light tubes 2 45w bright white and 1 35w blue

Water Parameters:

No3: 25 ( think the iron supliment and plantmin plus crypto fertiliser had something to do from 10 – 15 to 25 but its still safe )
no2: under 3 g/l
amonia- 0
ph 7 daytim 7.5 night
kh 6
co2 18ppm ( according to a calculator)

Air stone running only when lights are off and co2 is left always on to prevent ph fluctuation ( did my home work :P ).

Fish:
Fish:
6 angels ( assorted ) 1 koy 2 half back ( 1 veiltail ) 2 platinum and 1 black
2 bosemani rainbows
2 red rainbows
1 synodontis
1 royal pleco hiding under drift wood ( hes not in this vid but the other )
3 blue ( 3 spot ) gouramis 2 female 1 male
2 pearl gouramis ( still a bit shy as they have been there only 2 days )
3 clown loaches
2 bala sharks
1 peacock eel ( have a vid were i hand feed it blood worms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C10qZz… )
5 kuhli loaches
3 albino corys
2 julii cory
2 flying foxes

I am just over stocked but with hard maintanace i keep everything in check.

    depending on what plant you have , as long as its with small fish not like mine, just trim the dying leaves and should be fine. add some vitamins in the gravel under the plant every month or so :P
