100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Ok. This tank is in the house now and starting to come together.
~1" Miracle Grow Organic Potting Soil ~1.5" Pool Filter Sand DIY Stand 3 4' T12 40W 6500K fluorescent lights. (will be 4-5 when i finish my light stand.) Pressurized co2. Picked up this tank off Craigslist for 125. This tank has never had water in it. Glass tops were still in the original bubble wrap. Tank in house for maybe a week. Just have a big powerhead for water movement as canisters haven't been ordered yet.

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Looks promising. Way to go on a steal of a deal. It reminds me of what my 75 looked like about a year ago.
You might want to go 2.5" on the PFS though. Might want to give it some thought before you get to much in your tank.

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Mystery plant: Crypt Balansae
(The tall one)  Most of the above plants are in the corner. Bit foggy to see as dirt is still leaching tannins into water.

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Your mystery plant is a Crypt Balansae. What you have labelled as dwarf sag is actually baby needle leaf java ferns. If the plant you have labelled as chain sword came from me, it is actually Giant Sagittaira.
The Bacopa stems looked broken - were they? |

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Update: This cycle seems to be taking forever. And why I am journaling this stuff. Seems fish were added between 8th and 14th. Meaning I'm in week two. Ammonia has been reading zero for over a week, and my Nitrites are quickly at 2-5ppm if I'm not doing daily pwc's.

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
Update: Tank read zero ammonia and no2 on 1/29/12. moved couple gold fish out and moved 4 corys and ~7 neons into tank. Retested last night 1/30/12 and ammonia and no2 were still zero.
Got the canister/fish b/t the 8th and 14th. Finished cycling on the 29th. 2-3wk periord. I had put a well used sponge from another filter into the canister. Fair amount of plants.

Re: 100 Gallon Dirt + PFS
I have been inspired to change my 4ft gravel tank into a dirt tank.
Thanks for the inspiration. Dan  |
