I cycled my tank for 21 days. I used ammonia from ace hardware store for the faithless cycling. Thank you for your help.

Any new pictures? *pc I'm wanting to do a planted tank, and you gave me some great ideas (then again, my tanks look like :fish-in-bowl: compared to yours ). Thank you for all the pictures!

Is your tank still cichlid and pleco?

Sorry I don't, had to sell the tank when we moved to smaller house and no where to set it.

That's sad. I want my next house to have a slab floor in 1 room (besides the garage) to use as my aquarium room, but I'm stuck in this house for a few more years. Really don't want a slab floor in the entire house...

just buy a house with enough land to build a good sized slab floored fish house...

Have put some sand in the tank, but needs a couple more buckets on the left side. Will finish that tomorrow and plant the dwarf chain sword.

Is that you susan?

 

[clumsycarp]

[susankat]

Yes its me, didn't you know I was grandma moses

 

[big b]

I had to look up grandma moses to understand that, but I'm glad I did. You look like a lovely lady

Also, that black sand you used for this tank, I have a question about it. Did the fish waste manage to get down to the plants roots? Or did the plants get their nutrients some other way

I figured that if I got to see what Susan looks like then I should return the favor and let people see me. I learned it is not that hard to up load a pic. I hope I didn't do anything wrong when posting it.

Fish waste stayed on top of the sand so it was easy to vac it out. I used fert tabs and dry ferts in the tank for the plants.

Still waiting on your picture. And don't ask for one of me. I don't have and won't take any of me.
