jackspratt · 08-11-2011, 02:53 PM

In just 4 weeks, my tank has blossomed nicely!
Baby Tears , Dwarf
Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Cuba'
Ludwigia inclinata 'Green'
Java Moss on tree
Telanthera Rosefolia
DIY CO2 (yeast and sugar with Hagen mini filter as diffuser)
Once a week I dose with Seachums Excel

Started with dozen red cherry shrimp. Now at plus 30
6 Harlequin Rasboras
2 White tipped tetras
2 Fancy Tails
2 Nerite Snails for Algae control

Is that a before and after? Nice!

Nice!What substrate is that?

rw5579 · 08-11-2011, 04:59 PM

What type of filter are you using, and would you recommend? Need to replace the aqueon that came in my 10 gallon kit... very nice setup

I'm looking (once I'm out of debt to Ben) to do something similar with my plants. Most of the ones I've gotten are either high maintenance fast growing weeds or they just didn't make it.

majerah1 · 08-12-2011, 08:56 AM

I heard the amazonia II was alot harder to rinse clean that the original.Is this true?

Mike,I think everyones in debt to Ben,lol.I am quite satisfied with my tank thus far,though the hubbs thinks its only a matter of time before I find something else I "need',lol

Very nice, Would you care to explain your DIY CO2 setup with some pictures?

Gizmo · 08-15-2011, 12:42 PM

Submit your tank for tank of the month and I'll vote for it. That's a beautiful setup.

Are you using T5HO for lighting?
