overstocked?

[cocoa_pleco]

well, i just looked at my 10g and some silicone wore off, and it looks ready to leak. its old and scratched so i drained it and put it in storage.

my 20g high was sitting outside, but since its snowing now i figured better bring it in. my iron stand fits a standard 10g or 20g high so i filled the 20g high. stats are 17w light, biowheel 350, 75w heater.

I already spent hundreds of dollars on the lights on my reef so im going for fake plants, and maybe 10 whiteskirt tetras. would that be too much?

Sounds fine to me!!:thumb:

[squirt_12]

sorry to intrude but it is snowing where you live???

but it sounds like it should be fine....just do weekly water changes and you will be fine.
white skirt tetras are very nice.

lol, i dont care if my threads go off topic.

YES ITS SNOWING, and i HATE IT! lol

its absolutely crazy, about 6" so far. some people farther north are shoveling already. saturday afternoon was warm, then saturday night BAM, snow snow snow.


glad to know im not overstocked. i like larger tetras, and wanted something larger than my serpaes. I have alot of leftover rocks and driftwood so all i really need are fake plans, substrate, and fish

well i am sorry because i don't like doing it but.....well out here it is raining and raining....i wish it would snow though. lol.

the tank sounds like it is going to be nice once it is done.

Snow, LOL we get like half an inch to a little over an inch a year of that stuff. What we mostly get is ICE and it SUCKS.

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, PLEN-TAY of ice here!

[Kuli_Loach]

Yea but I have walked out side and just thought it rained and it be ice half and inch or more on everything solid to were trees are falling due to the weight and stuff. Seen it happen more than once here.

[squirt_12]

that would suck....but yeah that has happened here before...it is cool to look at though. lol.

[Kuli_Loach]

Lol, I went outside with a hammer and mallet to get in my vehicle, a hammer to bust out my way to and a mallet to get my door open and you can't forget the hot water!!

[SkarloeysMom]

Snow...hmmmm, haven't seen any that actually stuck since Valentine's Day of '04. Snow is a rarity around these parts.

Can't wait to see the new 20g when you get it all set up.

[cocoa_pleco]

heres a basic pic. i still need substrate and fake plants. it will look much better with plants, im going for tall ones

[squirt_12]

that looks really nice.....in the pic...is there water in the tank??? it doesn't really look like it. lol.

[Kuli_Loach]

[cocoa_pleco]

[Kuli_Loach]

Send some my way man, I love it!!

[Incredulous_Ed]

Snow! bah! I wore shorts and a t shirt all today.

[zackish]

In a 20 gallon...no....throw some cories in there too.

[cocoa_pleco]

this sucks.

i got gravel, and after i went to the fish club. they have a contest for the best species only tank. problem is the tank for some reason has to be over 25g.

my 27L is barely stocked, so i placed those fish (some serpae tetras, glowlight tetras, a platy) to the 20g high, and for the contest im making the 27L with 35 neon tetras only, making it a species tank.
