Tank Build









A little tea colorish - I pulled out the driftwood yesterday and still have some tea going on - all water perameters are looking good.









I'll add a few more rocks and some elevation in the right corner & after the tea goes away it'll pop more but all water perameters are testing fine including the ph.

Plants - Tiger lotus, Amazon Swords & Java Fern
African Driftwood - Two pieces - one a hollow log and a crazy tree on its side
Lace Rock - azgardens.com with nice moss still on it - cleaned and in
100# Eco-Complete
50# Gravel - estimation
New Fluval Fx5
Magnum HOT
Jaeger Heater wand to go in when it gets cooler
RO water
Stability


Thoughts?

Does anyone know what that yellow growth is on the lace rock? I got the lace from azgardens.com and figure it's some sort of pond moss -

On one of the rocks there's some fuzzy white like filmish bacteria growing now on it (happened only since the fish have been placed in) -

Is this harmful?

i think that the white growth might be but cant really tell from the photos...

take it out and wash it with hot water and do the same to the other rock although i doubt it is deadly to the fish


btw nice tank
