Loungeroom Aquarium
Background
I originally had a tank in the wall which was a 40L tank with a few plans, the two Flame Dwarf Goramis' that I have in the new tank as well as the Pakastani Loach, and 7 Neon Tetras. They have all been migrated to my new Loungeroom tank where I have also added many more plans and fish life.
The planting is based on my diving background, and incorporating a 'kelp' forest look.

Flow
When I had first setup this tank I had a few flow issues due to the depth (62cms) and having the spray bar only on the left hand side of the tank. I have moved to having a spray bar along the complete back part of the tank to both allow for water movement as well as breaking the surface slightly to oxygenate the water.

Inspiration & Goals
My Inspiration for this tank has been due to my diving background in kelp forests. I will be continuing the blyxa and Val theme from the right hand side of the tank across to the other side.
Disasters & Regrets
The biggest problem i've had is with the inital setup, I tired too many plants early without getting my light correct first. I've moved to the Radion XR15FW (2) which gives me much better control on the light hence my plants are now growing much better.
