I don't think I have very many posts here as I've mostly only been a lurker so figured now is a good time to start a journal. I went with an ADA system using the Mini M.

ADA Superjet Es-300 Spin
2L ADA Bio Rio
ADA Bubble Counter
ADA Pollen Glass Mini
NA Regulator with Solenoid
4lb Co2 Bottle

SUBSTRATE

ADA 2L Power Sand Special S

I am using ADA's fertilizer regimen. Currently dosing 5ml of Brighty K and Green Brighty Mineral daily. Lights are on for 10hrs and co2 is at 1bps.

Thats a lot of Rotala, currius how it looks grown in.
Maybe you can try to tidy up the wires more using spiroband or tywraps it distracts a bit from the clean look.

Yeah. The wires are a pain, I'm working on a way to hide them as well as the co2 tank. Thinking about some kind of little table or something.

Thanks. I am just kind of bothered by it as well as the wires. I plan to get the small ADA co2 system and the control timer. I'm just trying to free up any obstructions as much as possible. I also need to make some kind of table to put all of the ferts, fish feeder, and tools on. As of now, ADA has discontinued the clear maintenance stand due to the change in bottle shape.
I don't think you should try to hide the co2 tank it looks good in the cabinet as it is..

Any chance you could show a side view of the stands the tanks sit on?
Trying to visualise them, cheers

Ok. Day 20 today. Added a total of 2 inverts and 15 fish yesterday. 13 ember tetras, 2 amano shrimp, and 2 otocinclus. Tank is doing great, I've never been happier with a tank much less the ease this has been. Makes the hobby so enjoyable when everything works as it should. Also did a much needed trim on the glosso this morning.
