Hi-tech 160 planted

I started this aquarium Jan 16th'08. I will try to create a Takashi Amano style aquascape. Most of the knowledge, on how to run such a set-up, I got from the plant guru Tom Barr, by researching his site and archives over at the always helpful www.barrreport.com

And thats how it started...

I decided to use Hemianthus callitrichoides "Cuba"(HC) as the foreground plant, and I used Tom Barr's HC emerged planting method.

I will wait 3-4 weeks before adding water and some more background plants. So far everything looks good.
This aquarium came with 2x30 watts T-8 tubes. I added 2 more, 2x39 watt T-5s (Glomat 2)
I will have a bout 0.86 watt per liter = Hi light (9 hours per day).
