  • My Second Planted Tank

    I want to share my second planted tank with all of you. It was an old 24g kindly donated by some great friends. I've never seen a tank with these dimensions before but it was perfect for my Ikea stand.

    I took off the trim, filed the edges and spray painted the background black. Some plants were grown from cuttings from my 10g office tank. Pics were taken today at 2 months. Again, thanks for all the info and advice. It takes a village.

    Substrate: ADA Aquasoil (thanks kevinly)
    Lighting: 30" Coralife 65w PC, 6700k
    Filter: Eheim 2211 (thanks kevinly)
    Ferts: Seachem Flourish twice weekly
    DIY CO2
    Manzanita wood and moss rock from HAW (thanks Dustin)

    Flora:
    Rotala Indica
    Rotala Waliichii
    Rotala sp 'green' (thanks kwc1974)
    Stuargoyne sp 'porto velo' (thanks kwc1974)
    Blyxa japonica
    Micranthemum umbrosum
    Ludwigia Repens
    Heteranthera zosterifolia
    Vesicularia dubyana

    Fauna:
    5 Celestichthys margaritatus
    10 Trigonostigma heteromorpha (thanks OrandaMan)
    3 Otocinclus vestitus
    1 Neon Swordtail
    1 Atyopsis moluccensis
    A lot of Red Cherry Shrimp

                          What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                            I'm interested to hear how the Didiplis does...I've heard mixed reviews, but I've always wanted to try it. :)

                              Sorry Mzungu. I missed ID'd that. It is actually Heteranthera zosterifolia. The original post has been edited.
