The Wahlsten Aquarium

The Wahlsten Aquarium Welcome! Here you can follow the journey with my 33 liter no pump-ultra light aquarium!

I almost forgot!
I found the perfect fish for my aquariums parameters and condition.
Still and cold water with lots of plants and plenty of live food...
Elassoma evergladei!
We had only one left at work, thin and grey so I took it home (will buy more soon) and the little fella is already thriving with a belly full of food and no one to bother it :D

Before and after I let a colony of Moina eat my infusoria :)
I have barely been home during the holidays and my aquarium had really bloomed while I was gone, a pleasant surprise ^^

Yes! It's a bag!

See the smaaaaaall white dots on the bottle?
I'ts Moina who's gonna eat my infusoria.
I knew there was a natural way to get rid of these.
Many thanks to Janne at Södermalms akvarieaffär, a store in Stockholm. He's very dedicated and has not a single pump in his store!
He didn't had much left but shared anyway with me :)

I concluded today that I've got infusoria.
We'll se how I'm gonna get rid of it, since I don't want to use any tech in the aquarium.
I know I can cover it completely and keep it dark a couple of days, but I'll probably use another techniques to do it.
Probably gonna use some animals to eat it :)

I skipped the roots and found it to be a better look.
Moved my Nymphaeas to the back behind the rock and moved my Alternathera sessilis and Echinodorus forward, much better.

Borrowed 2 guppy males from work to feed the bacteria.
We help people who cannot have their fishes and give them a new home. But these guys are going back later when their work is done.

My water parameters are fine. Only a high pH wich puzzles me because from what I have it should be lower. Could be wrong with the test also but a stable pH is always better than to try to fix it with variable different liquids.

Also added 2 Neritina to eat some of the algae that is now forming.
But much less algae than expected still.

Started to add Flourish excel every day, Flourish once a week and Flourish iron for the red plants.
The plants that has algae on them are giving new sprouts :)

That's it for now, hope you guys have a great day ^^

Almost a week after start and everything is actually going better than planned.
Added some more light today. Very little algae present even if the light is on about 12-14 hours a day.
First waterchange, NO3/2 were somewhat present but not that much.
The roots are releasing some lignin, also expected.

New plants will be added today.
2 different types of Echinodorus, a new Cryptocoryne (blassi), more Alternathera sessilis and some Ludwigia "rubra" I will try to save.
This aquarium will be " Legend, wait for it".......

Okay guys!

So I will give you a brief update!
Came home with the new aquarium today, and this is what I got!
I thought since I got a second chance I'll go bigger or go home.
That means bigger tank and more stuff!
I will take some more photos maybe tomorrow or thursday, but now I'm tired after work and setting this up :D

While you guys wait for the new aquarium I'll show how much light I actually have. This is only 3 lamps 10W/each!
