Eva’s Aquariums

Since I’ve recently started up with keeping aquariums again, a lot has happened in December. I started up a 128 l for my Flagcichlids, started up a 63 l for a group of glass catfish (tank and fish both sort of impulse buys), started up a small 32 l with shell dwellers for my desktop (they need to move soon now that they’ve spawned). And last but not least, I’ve started to research Diana Walstad’s method of using soil in the aquarium. So far I’ve set up a small 15 l in my window sill and now a 63 l as well. Her book Ecology of the Planted Aquarium: A Practical Manual and Scientific Treatise for the Home Aquarist is highly recommended, also if you are ‘only’ interested in aquarium plant biology and chemistry on a more general level.
