Well, for a long time since I updated the blog and today I decided to do to make a small introduction of the new project I have in mind.
The year 2009 has not done anything right at home due to work. Closed the year with a layoff in hand, after many years in the business. It was something that was expected, hence the little desire I had lately to do anything in the aquarium. The poor "Haven" has paid the price and has been removed this time without finding it mounted aquarium. Good growth. I have a 96 liters fitted only with moss and fern, without substrate, which holds the shrimp and some fish to put in the new aquarium.
If the year ended this way, the 2010 has begun with other views. On January 1st I started working for another company and , why not also start the year with a new aquarium project?.
The 240 liters of "Haven" with two kids, work, etc. I was getting very heavy. Is not the same to maintain a larger aquarium than a smaller. Pruning is much more light, clean a single filter, tubing and pipe instead of two as to the "Backwater." It is also true that the electricity and water consumption is reduced a lot, fertilizers last much longer. And you also have to look at the economy in times of crisis ;-).
The change has been an aquarium of 240 (120 x 40 x 50) a liter to 80 liter (60 x 35 x 38) 8mm tempered glass with clear silicone. The urn and I bought, but although I have not, is under construction. Without delay, within two weeks at home and I'll start on the Hardscape and maturation.
While until yesterday he was still turning the substrate issue, I have a very clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the hardscape and where I want to take (another thing is that I get) in terms of kinds of plants and molding them, while we are always little things changed and certainly will not be the final appearance.
The name is borne by my good and close friend Alberto Sosa. As the year has started well, I suggested a name I liked and that is even before we have anything set up, even in the head. It will be called "Benvenuto". Welcome Benvenuto is Italian, but slightly modified the word is by giving a note of humor by exaggerating the pronunciation. I think a very wise, because it really is very welcome to this aquarium and resizing. The teacher Alberto Sosa always with his great imagination for naming. In the next few days I start to prepare substrate, lighting and others and I will put all the progress here.
