So finally my disability payment has been released for payment. I'm about to start buying stuff for my tanks.
For my 18 gallon I'll be buying a Coralife f/w t5 24" double bulb setup $50 from a local fish store, along with a 18" piece of drift wood $10, root tabs, and starting to plant it with some Java Moss 3 handfulls for $5 which will be strung to the driftwood until it attaches itself, 6 Italian Val for $2 ea., and 1 Amazon sword for $4. I'll be making a DIY co2 with a 2 liter bottle and air diffuser, and a Ehiem 2213 Canister filter.
Fish stocking for 18 gallon
7 Neon Tetras
3 Otto Algae Eaters
3 Peppered cory catfish
3 Zebra Nerite Snails
1 German Blue Ram (male)
55 Gallon will be 48" Nova Extreme HO t5 double bulb lighting, 18" piece of driftwood, new Theo Hydor 300watt heater, and a new Eheim 2213 canister filter to put with my Jebao 912 4 stage canister. Will be ordering some Taiwan Moss $20 for a good amount to attach to the driftwood and main ceramic ornament, 14 Corkscrew Vals at $2 ea., Brazilian Sword Micro Grass $20 for 10 pieces, 2 Cabomba Plants $3 ea., 6 Java Ferns $3 ea., good amount of Glossostigma Elatinoides to help in the front, some Anubias at $3 ea., 3 Banana Aquatic plants, 10 Nesaea pedicellata 'Golden', and some Ceratophyllum worts plants.
