first time posting pix. not sure if these are worth looking at.


1. http://www.pricenetwork.ca/photos/chinaboy1021/6.jpg - just filled. not as cloudy as i expected. but i filled very carefully i guess.

http://www.pricenetwork.ca/photos/chinaboy1021/4.jpg - 6 hours later. i guess the HOT Magnum filter was a over kill on the 10 gallon.

http://www.pricenetwork.ca/photos/chinaboy1021/fish%20007.jpg sold magnum, things started turning milky. the box is a co2 bell. the plants use up the whole box once a day. no surface agitation.

Thanks for sharing. It's a good start. The plants look healthy. Once they multiply or you get more and you have some fish, it should be very, very nice. It's always good to have the "before" pictures. I like the substrate colour.
