aquascaping
Since around the middle of 2014 I've developed a passion for creating freshwater aquariums. The peace and calm from the plants and fish are a wonderful way to relax. That said, it's a hobby that will set you back a lot of time, research and in the end cash - there's a lot of trial and error!
My current setup is a Juwel Rio 240 with the following specs:
-
240 Litres (approx 65 Gallons)
-
2x 54 Watt Fluorescent tube lights
-
Juwel Biofilter 3.0 filtering system and heater
-
JAD C-150 Water Chiller
-
1 litre CO2 with Dici Aquarium CO2 Regulator Bubble Counter Check Valve DC02-04-S
