second pass on 180 litre setup


added a few more plants from knutsford pet shop. got rid of that bit of bog wood i didn't like and replaced it with another one trying to make it look like roots are extending into the gravel. disguised the joins with java moss. did the chemical tests on the water and we're under way. very low amonia, high nitrite and fairly low nitrate which means one of the bacteria colonies (amonia --> nitrite) is establishing itself and the other one (nitrite --> nitrate) is starting to get going. when the levels drop and all i get is nitrates, then i will add the test subjects.... =D
