Finally decided to take the plunge and setup a crs tank.

Eheim 2213
Hailea 28A
Gush Crystal Garden 60M
Aqualighter 2 60CM
Benibachi Mineral Soil
Gush oPipe & gPipe

Using Benibachi mineral powder and Mosura BT-9 with benibachi active water.

Day 1 - 09 July 2016
Tank set up:

Day 5 - 13 July 2016
Attack of the tannins

Dropped a packet of purigen to clear some of the tannins.

Day 6 - 15 July 2016
Glosso is growing in the tank.

Day 7 - 16 July 2016
Measured the water parameters
PH - 6.5
Ammonia - 10 ppm
Nitrite - 1.0 ppm
Nitrate - 10 ppm
Tank temperature - 26 degrees

Seems like cycling has not started yet.
