Setting up the tank!

Bought 18 bags of eco-complete planted substrates today at sale price. (still very expensive!)

It's 360 lb in total! What a good exercise.

It turns out that I only need 15 bags of them. I will return the remaining 3 anyway.

This is a very good website where you can get estimation of how much substrates you need for your tank. It turns out to be very accurate about mine.

I also set up the drift wood.


Filling up water:


After the tank was filled up with water. (I am using the light from the old small tank, the new lighting hasn't been set up yet)
