60 liter, All Anubias varieties (nine roots), two mangrow roots, 75 watt heater, sycamore and oat leaves, hagen and aquacy sand substrate (10 liter) and one dwarf vatos, additon various snails. 12 hours a day lighting and chemicals as tea (per week 50 ml.) and sera florena fertilizer (per week 20 ml.). In this tank I'm using biological filtration. Per week 20% water exchange. Two days before, I started using peat.I waited for the water, while water makes changes. my goal is to reduce PH to a value of 6-6,5. The temperature of the tank constant 26 Celsius.

Why did this tank?

Two months ago I installed the tank. Now, I believe that the formation of a particular biological system. Into the tank I want to keep a pair of Laetacara dorsigera or Nanacara anomala or Nanacara taenia. In this month I'm hoping to get one of them (it will probably Nanacara anomala:)).

I wish, I could find Ivanacara adoketa, but, Unfortunately, very hard to find Ivanacara adoketa in Turkey.
