Stopped by Fish Gallery and picked up a pair of plants, and thanks to TangoMIke for the Assassin Snails!
Very nice you meet you and my kids enjoyed it as well!

The one on the right looks like Rotala Wallichii, but mine seem more bushy. They have grown about a 1-2 inches since I had them.

The on one the left, I dont know.

[mistahoo]

I like them both but more so the one on the left. What are your plans on livestock?

[JAYGEE]

I'll keep looking for a name, live stock I want small like Pygmy Cory's, neon type tetras and some shrimp

[mistahoo]

Thanks! Those are some cool corys. I couldn't find any so I ended up with a trio of the metae. HAW has tons of green neons and cardinal tetras along with several other small fish.

Everything seems to be going great, it looks like I have some snail eggs.

Mistahoo, I cant find the name of the plant, but it is growing pretty damn fast. I should be able to break you off some in a week or two.

Maybe assassin snails eggs? Sounds great. My plants aren't growing fast so I won't have anything to share for a while.

From a friend, he had It made for a customer that changed his mind. I think has has another that is a little bit taller and is a 32-36 gallon I don't remember the exact gallons

If interested I can ask him if he still has it just lets know

You should get the green box aquaticlife w/ 1x6000 and a roseate light. I believe the blue box is setup with a 10,000k and actinic bulb.
All light helps plants but the blue bulbs are almost useless and eventually you will buy at least one replacement bulb in the near future. On the bright side, no pun intended, 10k looks better than 6000k. Well IMO.

I can just go buy another bulb to replace the actinic bulb ?
