[xoolooxunny]

I finally did the best i could with this crappy camera to let you guys see a little of what I'm working with over here. Feel free to ask any questions, and comments/criticizing always welcome!:ezpi_wink1:
Does anyone know the name of the fish in the last pic, I have two, they were a rescue from a neighbor.

It took Months before that thing would stop puttin leaves up to the surface. I just cut them every time they startin to shoot up and eventually they stop coming out every day, now its just about once a month.

How much light is there on this tank btw? Any DIY stuff?

[wendyzim]

what a great tank!

[xoolooxunny]

working from the bottom up...

substrate heater, 1st layer:aquarium sand. second layer:cultured gravel. 3rd layer: flourite. nitrates are a constant 10ppm. I use flourish tabs, but sparingly. I'll also throw a bit of liquid fert. in every once and awhile, if i need to skip a water change.

DIY C02, gallon mixture, intake into powerhead for good dissolving/dispersal.

Lights are just 2 40w hagen powerglo's.

Beautiful!! Im not sure if Im going to go with a natural look for my tank, or a more modern. But yours is definatly making me lean towards natural.

[cocoa_pleco]

Ive always done natural. I cant stand treasure chests and divers. My tanks are only composed of sand or gravel, and driftwood, live/fake plants, and rocks.

[Gelo_USA]

yea hungryhound is right....I have 3 of them but mine have red black and white fins I didnt knw there were pristella tetras with yellow finss
see mine are redish/orangish white and black finss

they are also called X-RAY TETRAS and tht one on the middle with the black spot is a black phantom tetra it looks the same just different coloration

the palm tree is ready to come out soon. that tree trunk i think looks good edged with the natural hair algae, and also provides a nice sized cave for the fish, i hope to grow my java moss up it, as you can see in one of the pictures i already have it started...as for the scuba man...i guess its just a novelty soft spot of mine, and a favorite hiding place for my pleco!

[xoolooxunny]

Thanks for the info, hungryhound!

[Incredulous_Ed]
