The Occult!

Hello Everyone!

Wanted to share my shell dweller "planted' tank:

Tank size: 3' x 15" x 15"
Substrate: good old river sand.
Plants:
added: Anubias of various sizes, Cyperus Helferi,
Yet to add: Cryptocoryne spiralis, Cryptocoryne Wendtii bush, and a huge bunch of echinodorous

Lights: 2 x 36W CFL DIY.

Live stock: 6 x neolamphrologous Multifasciatus and one Caudopunctatus (rest of them died on arrival) as of now. Plan to add few sumbu dwarves.
Diet: NLS Cichlid formula, Hikari Seaweed Extreme, Hikari Cichilid excel, Brine shrimp flakes. Hikari seaweed extreme is staple with the other foods as variation.

I will leave you with a not so good pic. Will post updates of revisions later. I am loving the algae growth. Hope you guys like it too.. Looking for stocking suggestions.

Cheers,

Karthik
