Mr Aqua 12 Long

[jeb102385]

Nah I've never done salt... and I would start with something not quite as long for my first. Thinking if I ever do salt it would be with a cube first.

Just asking because you posted thisin the nano tank forum under saltwater aquariums...

Oh sorry I only looked at the Nano header and not the forum... I guess this should be moved to Freshwater/Planted tank then?

[Chester]

Got my light in today... hopefully will set up my tank tonight/tomorrow got the Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED + fixture pretty cool features on it

Looks good!! I love my 12g long

[Chester]

That light on this tank looks amazing... well worth it imo... plus I apparently got it on sale so win all around!

Enough talk about how amazing it is... Where's the pictures? Pics or this thread didn't even happen.

[Chester]

ok same link as before but with added pics... need plants that aren't green to change it up... possibly a new shelf too... i got the shelf i am using from loews and it says up to 175 per shelf... its hard pliable plastic shelving and it kinda has me worried. Side note the i have the spray bar vertical because i do not have the suction cups for it, and its too long for to put it along the width of the tank...

There you go Steven!

Wow it looks good, is that all plants your putting in there?

[Chester]

I am going to see if i can find some red/purple plants on tpt to purchase... or may hit up fish gallery tomorrow just to look... i am getting in more Japanese Blyxa... and green temple for a different shape and a bunch of riccia as floaters from steven... kinda the back right side of the tank has a really strong current because of the spray bar may have to see what plant would do well in that condition...

[Chester]

If you are a TPT member I put a journal of this tank on there just a few minutes ago at this link.

Oho, you're making me want to redo mine. I like it. You going to put this tank somewhere nice?

[Chester]

I got my Pogostemon Helferi (downoi) in today woot! So I decided it was time to give my 12 long a much needed haircut as suggested. I removed all the frogbit and as much of the riccia as I could. have small amount of red root floaters and Hygroryza Aristata. I'll be adding Alternanthera Reineckii 'Rosaefolia' next week behind the driftwood as well if it looks alright. Only posting a FTS because the water is murky and I need to clean the glass. I am thinking of adding some kind of moss to the driftwood either some Singapore moss or if I can get enough spiky moss...



a rare sight haven't seen this in about two weeks... my zebra nerite

[aquabee]

Chester, that's lookin really nice! Another FTS when the water clears! :)

nice tank.. hopefully your downoi will do well. Some of my emersed downoi melted but I guess it's to be expected, other is growing and recovering.
