Talking 37Gal

20Dec2010 The day after we bought the tank from PetSmart.


27Dec2010 Added an aquaclear 70, amazon swords, anubias, red ludwigia, telanthera and driftwood.


04Jan2011 Added wisteria, anacharis, corkscrew vals, marimo ball and another driftwood.


07Feb2011 Removed some of the decor. Look at the anacharis and amazon sword growing


18Feb2011
Fluval 405 I ordered from Amazon arrived and it has a leak at the bottom of the canister so it is going back and I ordered another one.
I also got a stand and moved the aquarium to the living room. So here is my chance to beaslbob my tank.

Added two LED strip lights



I added 50 pucks of peat moss



Added flora max and eco complete plus white sand. White sand keeps on floating and clogged my aquaclear so I added some fine filter bags to the filter uptake.



19Feb2011 Added java fern and another anubias I got from PetSmart. Went all natural and replaced the reef background to a simpler black background. Moved both HOB filters to the back.


This is LED light only


This is F18T8 only


LED + F18T8


LED + F18T8 + sunlight

I hope this is enough light for my plants

Two corydoras


Bob and Shrimp


Cory's sand bed


Left View


Right View


And now for the best part,
view from my small couch

view from my large couch

Yes, they are slowly mixing. Trying to find a good strainer so I can separate them. What is hard is when the white sand gets blown into the eco complete. It would just stand out for a couple of days until it sinks to the bottom.

I tried to create a divider using the driftwood and the screw vals. I thought the vals would not grow tall because I had it for over two months and it almost died. Now it almost reach the top of the tank.

I got the blue ones too about two weeks ago. I will update with pics.
Got both from ebay. I'll post the links once I get home.
