oh i see...if thats the same stand, then I would say your dad did a great job. I like the stand. you got enough rocks to work with...just play with it some more. big rocks in the back corners, then coming to the middle of the tank, down grade rock size as you approach the center of the aquarium.

[BassTank]

Thanks to all the complements on the stand. my dad did a really good job on it.

How do you guys feel about me adding ten 1 to 1 1/2 inch kirizas with 22 2-3 inch lufubus?

[myjohnson]

It could work.

Keep an eye on cross breeding.

quick question. i had tank up and running since tues night with the 2262. last night i did a 50% water change by adding water from my 125g. im about to start running my w/d in a couple of hours. when i can throw those dudes in?

[myjohnson]

Do you have a test kit?I would test the water.Seeding with old water is not as good as seeding with old media.Was the media in your canister seeded?

[BassTank]

i havent tested it with the nitrite kit yet. i bioballs for the the first layer that was new, then used pvc string and eheim substract pro that was clean after bought from previous owner.
