Well, I'm at it again......setting up yet another tank.
What can I say, I'm addicted to this hobby.
I'm just glad I'm not alone in that.
This tank is an AGA/Aqueon 40 breeder (36"x18"x16")....the perfect footprint IMO.
Other specs:
2x96w Coralife fixture 1 6700K bulb and 1 10,000K bulb
Pressurized CO2 via a glass diffusor
Rena XP3 filter
200w Stealth heater
ADA Aquasoil Amazonia II - ~27 liters worth (they measure it in liters)
manzanita driftwood
Plants so far:
Anubias nana
Fissidens fontanus (moss)
No fish right now.....Aquasoil releases ammonia in the beginning, so I must wait for that to go down.
Fish plans include a Rummynose tetra school, Corydoras hastatus school, possibly Corydoras pygmaeus, a pair of Apistogrammas, and a school of Otocinclus.
Now for the pics:
Stand my grandfather made me:
Driftwood layout dry
darker
Filled up and with plants
I just filled the tank up last night, so the "new tank bubbles" are still there.
I've had some problems and had to buy new bulbs, so the fixture on there now is just temporary. It has purplish colored bulbs and makes the substrate look more red. It's actually dark brown with some reddish pieces (clay colored), but the exposure is really bad. I'll get some better pics when I get my new bulbs.
I have made the plant order, so hopefully it will be shipped soonish.
I'll update when I have more pics/news.
