Troys new tank

This was suppose to be posted on friday. Just took the pics now.

@shihr

I want to remove the hair grass as my apple snails are munching on it.

I want to use the glosso you gave me. Good or bad idea?


Here the pics






Please excuse the mess at the top of the tank and algae on glass. Still working on that

 

try some out.. use afew nodes and plant them.. leave some still floating..dont put all your eggs in one basket

but just rem, if the glosso doesnt get enough light, it may start to grow vertically..ur tank should be fine though..

 

Lol will just add a few and leave it for 2 weeks or so. Must get the Co2 running again 1st

 

believe it or not, glosso can do well without co2 as well! i grew mine in my 2 ft for 2 months and it was fine.. was just abit slow

 

If it grows in this tank i want it grow slow as i must stick my whole arm in there to reach the bottom....tiring after a while.

Will be opening a new thread sometime on my 2ft using Glosso

 

Glosso won't work in this tank.... caught my Aires tetras having a lekke feast on the leaves which are no more....

 

love the driftwood

 

oh ya, forgot u had those.. mine also did.. then i got rid of them (gave to my friend) the glosso had to stay

 

Maybe they eating the grass? Hmmm but they so nice! Got to think of something else

 

get another tank for them hehe

 

great looking tank the driftwood looks awesome'

 

Will be adding CO2 tonight. Plants seem to be growing very slowly

 

diy co2 or pressurised co2?

 

DIY for now. Have to find time before i can get the stuff i need for my canisters. Unless you know of an online store?

 

ebay is usually cheapest..take a look there?

 

just beat me to it, yep ebay cheapest, full regulator, with solenoid and needle valve i think was about $60

 

Been over 3 weeks since my last update.

Removed hair grass and placed to rocks. Added black sand.

Some pics:blink1:



Moss is dying...or already is dead

 

That is looking rather decent TroyFish ... last time I saw this tank it was a twinkle. Nice contrast and shapes.
Good Job ..

Later Ferdie

 

Lookin good Troy. Maybe a ground cover plant?

Where did you ge the sand?

 

It's always amazing how black substrate suddenly makes the tank sparkle. Nice one!
