12 Gallon Long, iwagumi style.

[mythin]

Wow, this forum is way more active than I realized haha. Thanks for all the compliments and criticisms! I really wanted to keep everything to one side and have an open space on the other so I could get so some kind of nano schooling fish, and since the tank is so long for its size, it should look pretty cool with them flying over an open grassy field. Hopefully it turns out close to something like I have in my head, only time will tell lol.

Any locals grow any erios?

Where did you get such a tank? I want a long one! No homo.

Select 12 gallon long, it should be like 86 bucks including shipping, pretty solid price I think.

I had a very similar idea, I wanted to do a waterfall tank, with a waterfall on one end and a long stream to a pool on the other end. I just got lazy at the thought of setting it all up, if I get another one of these tanks though, thats what I am doing.

Sounds pretty sweet

i think someone said fish gallery sells the mr. aqua tanks...it might have been somewhere else but they are around locally. nice tanks for the bucks for sure.

maybe go down to the club section and ask the HAAPS guys about erios

Some up to date pictures, a little bit of dieback and browning as I went after the BGA that had started to form, I think I got most of it, but may still have a little bit remaining, i have been trying to keep it much drier as far as substrate wetness goes, but still misting once a day or so.

Erio Kimberly, with lilaeopsis novae mini, UG, dhg belem


UG is by far my favorite color and texture as far as grassy foreground plants go. The green is really eye pleasing for some reason.

Nice! Growing in beautiful.

[Jozle]

That is some nice UG, I still want some, no local buys in a while. I might buy online.

[mythin]

Fauna added!

My dogs new hobby.








Really got to say I am pleased with the ember tetra's, they are not too skitish, and the school really really well. The green neons are good schoolers too, sometimes they will both school as one big shoal, sometimes they will segregate, really like how this tank is coming together. I also got co2 hooked up now, keeping an eye on the drop checker so I dont gas my new tank inhabitants.

Very nice tank! That dog looks like my parents goldendoodle. Same breed?

[mythin]

Yeah its amazing, you're the second person who was able to tell the breed from just a back of the head shot, pretty impressive.
