How big is your tank?
This is a 4ft, 220L tank.

What equipment are you using (filtration, lighting, heater, CO2 gear etc)?
I use a Biopro external canister filter, 300w heater. I use 15w 6500k CFL x2 and a fluro tube for lighting. I also have some colour changing LED lights I use occasionally at night. I was using CO2 but stopped because everything was growing too fast.

What aquascaping have you done (gravel, plants, corals, etc)?
I've put in gravel, a couple of rocks, some driftwood and a 3 and a 1/2 ft hollow log that has several openings. I have java moss, java fern, crypt wendtii, anubias nana, pink baby tears and hygro corymbosa.

How much time do you spend maintaining your tank per week?
I spend about an hour a week maintaining my tank.
