Planted Tank Journal: "Euphoria"

[thebaoster]

After 1.5 long month I finally got most of the stuff I needed to setup my first planted tank.

Here is a sneak peak of the gnarled manzita drift wood getting soak. I'll probably throw in the seiryu stones in there tonight to get those nice and wet.




I'm still waiting for ADG to get some soil so I can move all my plants from the 20G holding tank into the 90H.



Still waiting for these stuff to come in:

Hanging Kit for the Tek Light
Eight Socket Control Rack


Still looking for the following items:
CO2 Tank 20lbs+
ADA Amazonia Soil
Filter Glasswear
Drop checker
and a never ending list

to be continue........

what will you host in there?

[eklikewhoa]

Fw scorpion fish!

you find the coolest dw, that grapewood is off the hook...heck i really like the piece in your holding tank too. did you pick those up on the north side of town? i am looking for a good place to buy a gnarly dead bonsai tree looking piece like you have in you ADA for a hermit crab terrarium. i can see them hanging off of there like christmas bulbs.

what will you host in there?

Couple of hundreds of some type of small school fish. maybe harlequin rasbora? I've been looking up nano school fish all day everyday at work. *minimize screen when someone walks in*

I won't be able to sleep with that fish beside my bed.

I got it from a setup I bought and it's already been sold. I think I have a lot of other pieces that I need to get rid of before I start hoarding like eklikewhoa.

harlequin rasbora arent really microfish. the last ones from my school are longer than the adult cardinals and twice as high. they are cool fish though. there is another rasbora that is smaller and looks similar.

[eklikewhoa]

Raspbora Espei I think it was is slightly smaller in size

[eklikewhoa]

IMO, the most impressive display I've seen is with ember tetras - Hyphessobrycon amandae

If you can flip the cost a group of about 50-100 of these in that tank would drop jaws!

[TaTeR ToT]

I was a tank full of espies at fish r us on 242, nice little fish.
I agree though, embers and also blue tetras are sick.

kubotai!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to Fish R Us this weekend. Thanks guy for expanding my fish list.
